Comparing two treatments for chronic plantar fasciitis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two non-surgical treatments for long-term plantar fasciitis (heel pain). It tests if a technique called 'INIT' works better than another called 'IASTM' to reduce morning heel pain and improve walking.
