A review of 25 cases of heel pain treated conservatively with phonophoresis, using the anti-inflammatory gel containing a combination of flufenamic acid, salicylic acid and mucopolysaccharide polysulphate is being reported here. The purpose of the study was to assess the effectiveness of a noninvasive procedure called phonophoresis in treating hell pain. It involved usage of ultrasound waves to deliver anti-inflammatory drugs to the painful site. The heel pain subsided in all the cases and did not recur for a period of one year till last reviewed indicating the definite role of phonophoresis in heel pain.
