Advanced Spine and Pain Launches the National Heel Pain Institute, a First-of-Its-Kind Specialty Center Offering Breakthrough Non-Surgical Heel Pain Treatment
Arizona's premier dedicated center for chronic heel pain brings interventional pain expertise to foot and ankle care, offering same-day, minimally invasive relief without surgery.
(PHOENIX) Advanced Spine and Pain (ASAP), Arizona's leading interventional pain and advanced surgical group, today announced the launch of the National Heel Pain Institute (NHPI) — a dedicated specialty center established to deliver the most advanced, minimally invasive treatments for chronic heel pain available anywhere in the Southwest US. The Institute operates as a specialty division of Advanced Spine and Pain and is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, with access to clinics and surgical centers throughout the state, including Phoenix, Tucson, and Northern Arizona.
The National Heel Pain Institute addresses plantar fasciitis, a critical and long-underserved need in musculoskeletal medicine. Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of chronic heel pain in adults, affecting more than 10 million Americans annually. Despite its prevalence, the condition has historically been undertreated and mismanaged, leaving millions of patients cycling through temporary remedies or facing surgery as their only option. The National Heel Pain Institute changes that.
Unlike general orthopedic or podiatry clinics, the National Heel Pain Institute is a dedicated center of excellence built from the ground up to treat the patients that traditional medicine has too often left behind. By bringing the precision and innovation of interventional pain medicine directly to foot and ankle care, NHPI delivers patient outcomes and experiences unlike anything previously available in the region.
At the heart of the Institute's offering is Plantar Fasciitis Embolization (PFE), a breakthrough, image-guided procedure that eliminates the root cause of chronic heel pain without surgery, without lengthy recovery, and without compromise. PFE works by precisely targeting and reducing the abnormal blood vessel growth that drives chronic inflammation in the plantar fascia, interrupting the cycle of pain at its source and delivering lasting relief where all other treatments have failed.
The procedure takes just 30 to 60 minutes, requires no general anesthesia or operating room, and is fully outpatient — allowing patients to walk out the same day. Most patients resume light activity within days and experience progressive, lasting pain relief in the weeks that follow. Clinical results show that approximately 90% of patients achieve significant relief without surgery.
