Summary

This study tests a new treatment for heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis. Tiny, dissolvable beads are injected to block blood flow to the painful area. The goal is to see if this procedure safely reduces pain better than standard care. About 45 adults with chronic heel pain will take part.
