Restoring Foot Health Through Podiatry
Straits Podiatry is the leading podiatry clinic in Singapore, providing dedicated care for patients of all ages. From paediatric concerns like flat feet and walking difficulties to adult issues such as lower limb musculoskeletal pain and soft tissue conditions, diabetic foot problems, and age-related mobility changes, our team offers personalised care across a wide range of podiatric conditions.
What is Podiatry?
In Singapore, podiatry is an allied health discipline that specialises in the diagnosis and management of most foot, ankle, and lower-limb conditions. Unlike foot and ankle surgeons, podiatrists offer a non-surgical approach when managing foot pain and walking abnormalities.
Foot & Leg Pain Conditions We Help With
NO STEROIDS, NO SURGERY, NO DOWNTIME
Our Philosophy in Lower Limb Care
At Straits Podiatry, we are focused on helping patients manage their conditions without the need for surgery. To tailor care to each individual’s needs, we first assess the underlying factors contributing to their condition. Tools like gait analysis help us identify biomechanical issues, while advanced technologies such as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) and Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) are applied to address concerns like muscular strain or joint discomfort to the leg or foot. By incorporating these non-invasive methods, we help patients improve their mobility, stay active, maintain independence, and return to sport.

Early care matters
Don't Neglect Your Feet..
Foot and lower limb pain often starts small — but when left untreated, it can affect your walking pattern, overall posture, knees and hips, and daily activities. Early podiatric care can keep you on your feet, stay active, and prevent more serious problems later.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about our clinic
Do Your Podiatrists See Children?
Yes, and we also give talks to paediatricians to raise awareness of children’s foot health. Paediatric podiatry is essential for children, particularly those struggling to keep up with their peers in terms of development.
Children’s foot conditions are managed differently from those of adults because children are still growing. Therefore, your podiatrist must know how to identify and differentiate between a child’s normal and abnormal development to manage their problems effectively.
At Straits Podiatry, we understand that your child may feel nervous about attending our clinic. As such, we have a dedicated children’s assessment area designed to help your child feel at ease during consultation. Our podiatrists in Singapore are highly experienced in children’s foot conditions and can provide the best management advice for your child. We aim to educate and provide all parents with the right information so that their children do not undergo any unnecessary treatment.

Do I need a referral letter to see a podiatrist in Singapore?
No, a medical referral letter is not required for a visit to a private podiatry clinic in Singapore. If you have a lower limb concern, you may contact us directly to schedule an appointment with us.
However, if you have a referral letter from a doctor regarding your foot issue, it is recommended that you bring it along to your appointment. This will generally help us better understand your foot condition. It might also help you seek reimbursement if your insurance provider requires one.
At Straits Podiatry, we receive referrals from medical doctors for various lower limb conditions. If your insurance policy states that a referral letter is needed before you can claim for podiatry treatments, you may consult any of Healthway Medical’s General Practitioners to obtain one before your visit.
What should I bring for my first podiatry consultation?
You may bring along all your past medical reports and medication list before a consultation with one of our podiatrists. These include any imaging scans (e.g x-ray or MRI) and their written reports. This will enable us to provide the best holistic care when addressing your concerns. You should bring along your frequently worn shoes, which include school shoes, work shoes, and regular sports shoes.
For parents seeking podiatry services for their children, please also bring their health booklet to the first visit. This will help us understand your child’s birth and developmental history.
Do you accept insurance or company medical benefits?
Coverage depends on your insurer and policy. Some policies allow patients to claim their consultation and treatment fees under outpatient or allied health benefits. Given the wide range of insurance policies available in Singapore, we are unfortunately unable to guarantee your coverage. We recommend checking directly with your insurer regarding coverage for podiatry services.
However, if you value high-quality care for your foot and lower limb concerns over the generosity of your coverage, you may contact us directly to book an appointment. Our fees are transparent, and all recommended care plans will be clearly explained to you before commencement. Our team will be happy to provide supporting documentation for you to try seeking reimbursement after.
How do I know if Straits Podiatry is the right clinic for me?
At Straits Podiatry, we value quality and comprehensive care. Our consultations focus on thorough assessment, clear explanation, and personalised care. We allocate sufficient time for proper evaluation rather than rushed visits.
So if you value a clear understanding of your condition and a well-explained personalised plan, rather than quick, generic consultations, Straits Podiatry will be a good fit for you.
