Plantar Fasciitis Embolization (PFE) is a safe and effective minimally-invasive, non-surgical procedure to treat chronic plantar fasciitis, especially when traditional therapies have failed.

This procedure is performed by our doctors at New England Endovascular Center who are Interventional Radiologists (IR) and specialize in using X-rays and other live imaging modalities to treat diseases without surgery.

Plantar fasciitis is often associated with abnormal increased blood flow (neovascularization) around the plantar fascia, which correlates with chronic inflammation and pain. PFE aims to reduce this abnormal blood flow.

What is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is a condition where the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue on the bottom of your foot that supports your arch—becomes irritated or inflamed. It’s one of the most common causes of heel pain and causes significant activity limitations and work loss for many individuals.
