We are a trusted partner with most of the insurance panels and integrated shield plans. Our team ensures that insurance pre-approvals are obtained prior to treatment and offers guidance throughout the claims process.
Heel pain that persists, worsens with walking, or is most painful during the first steps in the morning should be assessed. Early review helps identify conditions like plantar fasciitis before they become chronic.
This is a common sign of plantar fasciitis, where the tissue under the foot becomes tight and inflamed. Proper diagnosis allows targeted treatment to relieve pain and restore function.
Most heel pain can be managed without surgery. Treatment may include activity modification, physiotherapy, orthotics, shockwave therapy, or minimally invasive procedures when needed.
Yes, many heel pain treatments are covered by insurance and/or Medisave. Our team will help check your coverage and guide you through the claims process for a smooth and stress-free experience.
