Plantar Fasciitis Embolization
at Fox Vein & Laser Experts in Miami, Florida
What Is
Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that occurs when the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes—becomes inflamed. This inflammation causes sharp heel pain, especially during the first steps in the morning or after extended periods of rest. Plantar fasciitis is often linked to factors such as prolonged standing, improper footwear, obesity, or high-impact activities.
At Fox Vein & Laser Experts, we offer Plantar Fasciitis Embolization (PFE), an advanced, minimally invasive procedure designed to provide lasting relief for chronic heel pain without the need for surgery.
Why Choose
Plantar Fasciitis Embolization?
Plantar Fasciitis Embolization is an innovative treatment that directly targets the root cause of pain by reducing blood flow to the inflamed area. During the procedure, microscopic particles are introduced to block the small blood vessels that supply the inflamed tissue. This reduces inflammation and alleviates pain effectively.
