Plantar Fasciitis Specialist in Singapore
Plantar fasciitis causes one of the most common kinds of heel pain. It happens when a thick band of tissue called the plantar fascia, with running from your heel to your toes, with gets overworked or damaged.
You might feel a sharp jab of pain in your heel, especially when you hop out of bed or stand after sitting for a while. Your foot might also stiffen up, swell, or throb as you walk or stand too long.
If you ignore the signs, the pain can linger and worsen, making it hard to walk or stay active. That’s why early care matters. At FootWorks Podiatry, our plantar fasciitis specialists step in early, find the cause, and build a plan to help you move without pain again.

How Our Specialists Diagnose Plantar Fasciitis
We don’t just guess—we examine, listen, and observe. First, our specialists ask about your foot pain, your daily habits, and how long the pain has bothered you. Then, we watch your walk, press on different parts of your foot, and check for tenderness or swelling.
If needed, we may scan your foot with ultrasound to spot signs of injury or rule out things like stress fractures or heel spurs. From there, we design a treatment plan that’s built around your unique foot needs.
Why Early Treatment Matters – Encouraging Immediate Action
Heel pain doesn’t just disappear on its own. If you brush it off, it can stick around, throw off your walking style, and even trigger problems in your knees, hips, or lower back.
The longer you wait, the harder it gets to fix. Chronic plantar fasciitis may lead to heel spurs or long-term tissue damage.
So, if you notice heel pain in the morning or after sitting, don’t wait. Book a visit with one of our plantar fasciitis specialist today and step into a future without pain.
