Plantar Fasciitis
A minimally invasive procedure targeting abnormal blood vessels that contribute to chronic inflammation and heel pain.
Plantar Fasciitis Embolization (PFE)
Chronic plantar fasciitis is often driven by abnormal blood vessel formation (neovascularization). Our target embolization technique (PFE or TAME) is an outpatient procedure that directly shuts down these inflamed vessels to promote permanent healing without surgery.
How the Procedure Works
Procedure Setup
Performed by an interventional radiologist under local anesthesia.
Targeting
A tiny catheter is inserted into a foot artery and guided to abnormal vessels using imaging.
Embolization
Embolization agents safely block blood flow to inflamed areas, reducing pain.
Completion
Outpatient procedure taking only 30-60 minutes with absolutely no incisions.
Key Benefits & Advantages
High success rate: 80–90% pain reduction reported.
Minimal downtime: Most resume normal activities within 1–2 days.
Avoids surgery: No risk of fascia weakening or nerve damage.
Long-lasting relief: Targets the exact root cause.
