Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that causes heel pain and sometimes bony spur may be seen at the attachment of plantar fascia. Parshnishool can be correlate with Vatkantaka mentioned in ayurveda as one of the symptoms of vatavyadhi. Vata gets aggravated and localised in Khudda-pradesha when person walks on irregular surface. Now a days it can be managed by Physiotherapy, NSAID’S, Steroids etc. But this conservative management give short term relief with certain drawbacks and surgically it can be managed by Plantar fascia release which increase hospital stay and high economical expenses. Acharya Sushruta described Agnikarma for painful condition of Twak, Mamsa, Sira, Snayu, Asthi and Sandhi. Acharya also mentioned in Sushrut Samhita that Raktamokshana / Siravedha of vein situated two Angulas (4cm) above the Kshipramarma in Vatakantaka gives better relief. So, the study is conducted into two groups which includes group A – were treated with Agnikarma with lauha shalaka and group B- treated with Raktamokshana / Siravedh which gives equally satisfied results},
