Do you treat plantar fasciitis in Dubai?

Yes. Physio Cure Dubai treats plantar fasciitis and plantar heel pain with assessment-led physiotherapy, manual therapy, progressive calf and foot loading, and shockwave therapy when appropriate.

Can shockwave therapy help plantar fasciitis?

Shockwave therapy can be considered for persistent plantar fasciitis and chronic heel pain after screening. At Physio Cure Dubai, it is paired with progressive loading and load management rather than offered as a stand-alone fix.

Do I need insoles or special shoes?

Sometimes footwear changes or temporary support help, but treatment should not become product shopping. We assess your gait, shoes, walking volume, calf capacity, and symptoms before making footwear recommendations.

Can I keep walking or running?

Usually yes, but the volume and intensity may need adjustment. We guide you on what amount of walking or running your heel can tolerate while the strength and loading plan builds capacity.

Physio Cure Dubai is in Office 1510, SIT Tower, Dubai Silicon Oasis. To book a complimentary initial consultation, call +971 50 301 3005.

How We Work

Care that goes beyond the clinical room

Real tools that change how you experience your treatment, from the moment you walk in to the day you walk out pain-free.

Live Translation AI

The moment you walk in, our front desk speaks your language. So does your doctor during every consultation and session. Real-time audio translation runs in both directions with zero latency, so we effectively speak every language, not just three.

Physio Cure Connect

Your care continues between visits in Physio Cure Connect. Manage appointments, follow your recovery, review session history and doctor-published clinical updates, message your doctor securely in the Recovery Room, and download invoices on iOS, Android, or the web.

Doctor-guided home exercise plan

Your Recovery Room turns prescribed home exercises into clear, patient-specific guidance: exact dosage, step-by-step technique, start-and-finish visuals, video demonstrations, common mistakes, safety notes, and progression rules.

On-demand consent translation

The digital consent form shows in English and Arabic by default. Speak something else? Pick your language from the drop-down, tap translate, and read the full form in your own language before you sign anything.

Flexible payments

Pay by card, Tabby installments, Ziina, or a private payment link. Whatever works for you.

Why patients choose Dr. Mina Gamil

Across many of our services, this is what patients tell us about Dr. Mina Gamil. Patients consistently describe him as someone who genuinely cares for his patients, and for many of them, he is a doctor who educates generously.

Insurance-friendly through pay-and-claim

Your insurance still works with us. We hand you a detailed, claim-ready invoice and a medical report your insurer expects, and you submit for reimbursement straight from your portal. The reason we run pay-and-claim instead of direct billing: it keeps your treatment plan doctor-led, designed around what your body needs, not capped by what a network pre-approves.

1
You pay your session at the clinic, with flexible options including Tabby installments, Ziina, and standard cards.
2
We hand you the detailed invoice and the medical report your insurer needs, the same day.
3
You submit for reimbursement to your insurer. We are happy to talk you through what to send.

Tip: a quick call to your insurer before your first visit confirms your physiotherapy coverage and avoids surprises later.
