Summary

This study tests whether ice packs or cold baths work better at easing heel pain from plantar fasciitis when combined with standard stretching exercises. Adults aged 18 to 65 with heel pain will receive one of the two cold treatments plus the same exercise routine. The goal is to see which method reduces pain and improves foot function over two weeks.
