Foot Pain, Heel Pain, and Chronic Plantar Pain: An Overview and the Simplify TAME Approach

FOOT PAIN THAT DOES NOT IMPROVE?

A Treatment Approach with Simplify TAME

Foot pain, plantar pain, and heel pain are common problems affecting people of all ages including individuals who stand or walk for long hours, athletes, and older adults. Many patients have undergone multiple treatments such as medication, massage, physiotherapy, or injections, yet symptoms may persist or recur.

If your pain has become chronic and does not improve as expected, the underlying cause may not have been fully addressed. Foot pain can be associated with multiple factors, including blood circulation, muscles, nerves, and biomechanical alignment.

This article explains why foot pain often does not resolve easily and how Simplify TAME may be considered as one of the medical treatment options in selected patients.


What is Simplify TAME?
Simplify TAME (Simplify Transarterial Micro-Embolization)
is a minimally invasive medical approach that delivers medication directly through the arterial blood vessels to control abnormal blood flow or target inflamed tissues related to pain.

Key Advantages
- No surgical incision
- Short procedure time
- Rapid recovery
- Targeted reduction of inflammation
- Minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissues

Each patient must be evaluated individually by a physician to determine whether this approach is appropriate and safe.

In addition to foot pain, Simplify TAME may also be applied in selected cases of:
- Wrist pain
- Finger joint pain
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Gout
- Other inflammatory joint conditions
(as determined by the physician)

How Transarterial Therapy Works

The arterial approach aims to:
- Deliver treatment precisely to the affected area
- Reduce unnecessary exposure to healthy tissues
- Control inflammation at the microscopic vascular level
- Support tissue healing and recovery
Treatment outcomes may vary depending on individual conditions and physician assessment.


Common Causes of Foot and Plantar Pain
Foot pain is often multifactorial, including:

Plantar Fasciitis
Inflammation of the plantar fascia causing heel pain, especially with the first steps in the morning.

Muscle Overuse
Prolonged standing, excessive walking, or intense exercise can lead to chronic muscle tightness.

Abnormal Foot Structure
Flat feet or high arches can cause improper weight distribution.

Nerve Compression
Sharp pain, tingling, numbness, or electric-shock sensations.

Ankle or Spine-Related Issues
Problems in the ankle or lower back may affect walking patterns and foot mechanics.


Why Does the Pain Persist?
In many cases:

- Treatment focuses only on symptoms
- Root causes are not fully addressed
- Biomechanics are not thoroughly assessed
- Circulatory and nerve factors are overlooked
As a result, pain may improve temporarily but return again.


Who May Benefit from Simplify TAME?
This approach may be considered for selected patients such as:

- Chronic foot pain sufferers
- Patients unresponsive to conventional treatment
- Athletes and physically active individuals
- Patients with inflammatory vascular involvement
Final treatment decisions are made based on the physicians evaluation.


Conclusion
Persistent foot pain should not be ignored. A comprehensive assessment is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment planning. Simplify TAME represents one of the advanced medical approaches that may help target the cause of pain more precisely and improve long-term outcomes.
