Wrap the affected area in a warm wrap. Lower the affected area to increase blood flow. Lowering the affected area will cause more blood to gravitate toward the plantar fasciitis.
An increase in heat causes blood vessels to dilate, which increases blood flow in the body.
Yes, heat can increase blood flow in the body by dilating blood vessels and improving circulation.
No, applying ice causes vasoconstriction, which reduces blood flow to the area. Ice helps to decrease inflammation and swelling by restricting blood flow. Heat, on the other hand, can increase blood flow and promote healing in some situations.
Increase
increase in the diameter of blood vessel. it increases the blood flow
vasoconstriction
Except in cases of massive blood loss, it's not the job of the vessels to increase or decrease blood flow, but of the capillary beds.

Is increase in blood pressure in the capillaries
Some medications increase blood flow, like inotropics. Others, like vasoconstrictors, may decrease blood flow.
Blood flow is directly proportional to blood pressure, vessel diameter, and heart rate. When these factors increase, blood flow also increases, and vice versa.
Histamine is the chemical produced by white blood cells that increase blood flow to an injured area. It causes blood vessels to dilate, which allows more blood to flow to the affected area to deliver immune cells and nutrients for healing.
