Transarterial microembolization (TAME) is an innovative, minimally invasive option for chronic plantar fasciitis and heel pain that has not improved with rest, stretching, orthotics, shockwave therapy, physiotherapy or injections — and for people who want to stay off the operating table.

Long-standing plantar fasciitis is frequently associated with abnormal microvessels that develop around the inflamed fascia and keep the pain cycle going. In TAME, an interventional specialist advances a thin catheter through a tiny puncture under real-time X-ray guidance into the small arteries supplying the painful heel. The abnormal microvessels linked to persistent inflammation are selectively treated, while healthy circulation and the surrounding tissue are preserved. There is no incision, no hardware, and the plantar fascia itself is not cut — unlike plantar fascia release surgery.

Most suitable patients return home the same day and can bear weight quickly, with a far shorter recovery than open or endoscopic fascia surgery.

Why patients choose TAME for heel pain at YOUNIFY Clinic:

Designed precisely for "I've tried everything and my heel still hurts" — the gap between conservative care and surgery
Minimally invasive: tiny access point, image-guided precision, no incision, fascia preserved
Same-day discharge for most suitable patients; minimal downtime for work and travel
Every case is reviewed individually — symptoms, previous treatments and imaging are assessed by our specialist team before the procedure is offered
Physician-led, evidence-based clinic; medical team background includes postdoctoral research at Brigham and Women's Hospital / Harvard Medical School and at Mayo Clinic
Silom, central Bangkok — five minutes' walk from BTS Sala Daeng, daily 11:00–20:00, English-speaking staff, WhatsApp coordination

International and Muslim-friendly patient support: patients from the GCC and Muslim-majority countries are warmly welcomed — privacy and modesty respected, female physician consultation on request where available, halal dining around our Silom location, and Ramadan-aware scheduling.

TAME is not appropriate for every cause of heel pain. It does not treat fractures, complete fascia ruptures, nerve entrapment or structural foot deformity. Final eligibility and expected outcomes are determined after specialist assessment and imaging review.

Individual results may vary. Please consult a physician before undergoing any procedure.
