Plantar Fasciitis Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that works by reducing the abnormal blood flow and inflammation in the heel associated with chronic plantar fasciitis.
A few things to note about PFE:
Unlike traditional surgery, PFE avoids large incisions, stitches, or extended downtime.
If you wake up with stabbing heel pain or struggle to walk after long periods on your feet, you may be suffering from plantar fasciitis — one of the most common causes of foot pain. For many people, conservative treatments like rest, orthotics, or injections provide only temporary relief.
At Premier Vascular, our board-certified vascular surgeons offer an innovative treatment called Plantar Fasciitis Embolization (PFE). This minimally invasive procedure targets the root cause of chronic heel pain, offering lasting relief without invasive surgery. Serving patients across Macon and Central Georgia, we’re committed to helping you walk comfortably again.
You may be a good candidate if you have:
PFE is especially helpful for patients who want to avoid surgery or have been told they’re not candidates for traditional surgical options.
No. The procedure is well tolerated with sedation and local anesthesia. Most patients report only mild soreness at the catheter site.
Most people resume light activity within a few days, with significant improvement in pain over several weeks.
PFE doesn’t “cure” plantar fasciitis but significantly reduces inflammation and pain, allowing patients to return to normal activity.
No. If needed, you can still pursue other therapies, including surgery, after PFE.
Coverage varies, as this is an emerging treatment. Our coordinators will work with your insurance provider to determine eligibility.
