Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
Non-Surgical Heel Pain Treatment Options In Rancho Cucamonga
Overview:
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of chronic heel pain. It occurs when the thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot—called the plantar fascia—becomes inflamed or irritated. While many people improve with conservative care, persistent plantar fasciitis can significantly limit daily activities, mobility, and quality of life. At IMIIT, our interventional specialists offer advanced, minimally invasive treatments for patients who have not found relief through stretching, physical therapy, orthotics, or injections. These procedures target the source of pain to help you move comfortably again—without surgery and with minimal downtime.
Initial & Conservative Care
Reducing high-impact activities and incorporating low-impact exercise
Targeting the plantar fascia, Achilles tendon, and calf muscles—especially before getting out of bed
Applying ice or rolling a frozen water bottle under the foot
Shoes with proper arch support and cushioning.
Keeping the plantar fascia stretched overnight to improve morning pain
Such as ibuprofen or naproxen
Including stretching, strengthening, and taping techniques.
Minimally Invasive Treatment For Plantar Fasciitis at IMIIT
Plantar Fasciitis Embolization (PFE)
Plantar Fasciitis Embolization is a modern, minimally invasive solution that targets the inflammation causing chronic heel pain. In many chronic cases, tiny abnormal blood vessels form around the plantar fascia—a process called neovascularization. These abnormal vessels contribute to ongoing inflammation and discomfort. PFE works by selectively blocking these abnormal vessels while preserving normal blood flow to the foot.
How the Procedure Works
- Local anesthesia & light sedation keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.
- A small puncture is made in the ankle or groin, where a microcatheter is inserted.
- Using real-time imaging, the physician guides the catheter to the arteries supplying the inflamed plantar fascia.
- Embolic particles are injected to block abnormal blood vessels and reduce inflammation.
- The catheter is removed, and a small bandage is applied—no stitches required.
Posterior Tibial Nerve Block & Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)
Chronic heel pain is often perpetuated by nerve irritation. Posterior Tibial Nerve therapies work by disrupting pain signals traveling from the foot to the brain.
Posterior Tibial Nerve Block
A nerve block uses a precise injection of anesthetic near the posterior tibial nerve at the ankle. This temporarily interrupts nerve signaling, providing immediate pain relief. Ultrasound guidance ensures accurate placement and avoids surrounding structures.
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)
PNS is a longer-lasting neuromodulation therapy. A small lead is placed near the posterior tibial nerve to deliver gentle electrical pulses that modify pain signaling. This is ideal for patients with chronic, localized pain not relieved by other therapies.

Dr. Singha has helped me out so much. I have seen five different doctors and all of them kept offering the same option to get a myomectomy done but I knew there had to be a better option out there. A huge thanks to my primary doctor who introduced me to Dr. Singha. As soon as I received my first consultation I could already see that Dr. Singha knew exactly what he was doing and talking about, I was able to trust him right away. The staff has been the best and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Now it has been a few months that I have received the UFE procedure and I can already tell the difference in my periods. Very light bleeding and almost no cramps at all. I will forever be grateful for Dr. Singha and all the staff who has been very supportive.

I’m very grateful with Dr. Singha’s office. The doctor and his staff and Ms. Sandra are very attentive and professional.
Dr. Singha is really very nice and explained everything very well. Ms. Sandra is always pleasant to speak to and does not get upset when I call her multiple times with the same questions over and over.
This office inspires me confidently.

His office provides vascular & interventional radiology. From the moment I walked in service and care was exceptional. The person at the front desk, the assistants and the doctor were both professional and very kind and friendly. Dr. Singha took his time to explain everything in terms I could understand. He even explained results about something I was told at my primary’s office which I didn’t understand. For both things he showed me as he explained on the screen on the laptop. He made sure I completely understood, how severe or mild things were and what to do. He was the most thorough and patient doctor I’ve ever been to in my over 60 years of life.
