Summary

This study looks at whether low-dose radiation therapy (LDRT) can reduce pain and improve daily function in people with heel spurs and plantar fasciitis. About 35 adults over age 39 with long-lasting heel pain will receive LDRT and be monitored using pain scales, quality-of-life surveys, and MRI scans. The goal is to confirm if this treatment offers real, measurable benefits.
