Summary

This study tested whether injecting collagen into the heel can safely ease pain from plantar fasciitis, a common cause of foot pain. 60 adults with chronic heel pain that didn't improve with other treatments received either collagen or a control injection. Researchers measured pain levels and heel thickness over 12 months to see if the collagen helped more than the control.
