Plantar Fasciitis Embolization

Ideal Candidates for Plantar Fasciitis Embolization

This innovative treatment is ideal for patients who:

• Have chronic plantar fasciitis that hasn’t responded to conservative treatments
• Want to avoid surgery or steroid injections
• Desire a solution with minimal downtime
• Are looking for long-term relief rather than temporary symptom management
• Have had symptoms for at least six months

What to Expect During Treatment

On the day of your procedure, you’ll arrive at our state-of-the-art facility in Orange County. The treatment area is cleansed, and local anesthesia is administered. Throughout the procedure, you’ll be awake but comfortable. Our interventional radiologists use real-time imaging to precisely navigate the catheter and deliver the embolization materials exactly where they’re needed. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. Afterward, you’ll rest briefly in our recovery area before being discharged with detailed aftercare instructions.

Plantar Fasciitis Embolization Recovery

One of the major advantages of plantar fasciitis embolization is the rapid recovery time. Most patients can resume normal activities within 24-48 hours, with many experiencing significant pain reduction within two to four weeks. Complete improvement typically occurs over one to three months as inflammation subsides.
