Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that causes pain and inflammation in the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that 1 connects your heel bone to the toes and supports your foot’s arch.
Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis
- Pain on the bottom of the foot: Especially around the heel or arch.
- Pain that’s worse in the morning: Or after sitting for a long time.
- Increased pain when standing for long periods or climbing stairs.
- Worsening pain after exercise.
- A tight Achilles tendon.
- Swelling in the heel.
How is It treated?
Common approaches usually involve ongoing pain management rather than focusing on a solution. You may have already tried:
- Rest
- Stretching exercises
- Orthotics: Custom-made or over-the-counter shoe inserts
- Ice therapy
- Physical therapy
- Pain relievers
But if your condition is chronic, you may find that these approaches fall short of consistent relief.
Introducing Plantar Fasciitis Embolization (PFE) at ECCO Medical
How PFE Works
Minimally Invasive Procedure
A thin catheter is carefully inserted near the ankle, guided by advanced imaging techniques.
Targeted Treatment
The catheter delivers specialized microspheres to the inflamed blood vessels, effectively reducing blood flow to the affected area.
Reduced Inflammation
By limiting blood flow, PFE helps to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
Proven Results & Exceptional Safety
Clinical studies have demonstrated promising outcomes with PFE, including:
- Significant Pain Reduction: Many patients experience a dramatic decrease in pain intensity following the procedure.
- Long-lasting Relief: Many patients enjoy lasting relief from heel pain for a year or more.
- Excellent Safety Profile: PFE has a strong safety record with minimal risk of complications.
