Heat therapy plus standard care for plantar fasciitis
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding heat therapy to usual treatments like stretching and exercises helps people with plantar fasciitis feel better faster. You may join if you have been diagnosed with this foot condition but have not yet started physical therapy.
