Foot pain doesn’t just slow me down. It changes how I move, how long I can stay on my feet, and even whether I feel like doing the things I usually enjoy. However, this realisation only hits when discomfort starts affecting daily life, turning once-simple routines into cautious, calculated movements.
For those living in the East Coast of Singapore who are dealing with pain or limited mobility, it’s only natural to start searching for a podiatrist near you because travelling far for care is never feasible when every step feels like a challenge. That’s why having access to the right support in your own neighbourhood is the best approach.
Straits Podiatry’s new clinic at i12 Katong Mall offers just that. It’s a space where you can access quality care for a wide range of lower limb conditions. These include musculoskeletal and soft tissue concerns that can affect strength, stability, and overall movement. For patients with diabetes, where foot care requires added attention and coordination, our podiatrists work closely with orthopaedic specialists to manage more complex needs through a multidisciplinary approach. Whether you plan to seek relief or are looking to maintain your mobility and prevent future issues, our East Coast clinic offers the support you can count on.
Plan to Visit? Here’s What Awaits at Our East Coast Clinic
If you’re planning to visit our East Coast clinic for podiatry care, here’s what you can expect from the moment you arrive. Whether you’re seeking help with pain in your foot, skin and nail conditions, or simply want clarity on your lower limbs’ health, our team of podiatrists is here to offer care that’s transparent and thorough, all of it shaped around your actual needs, not packages or pressure.
Getting the Right Assessment Starts Here
The first step is always about listening, not rushing. When you arrive at our clinic, we begin by understanding your concerns, observing how you move, and assessing the underlying cause of your symptoms. Whether it is something long-standing or a recent issue, care begins with clarity and insight, not assumptions.
Precision Tools That Helps in the Design of Comfort
We use tools that support clinical accuracy and personalised care. These include 3D foot scanners to help us analyse structure and pressure points, as well as non-invasive modalities such as extracorporeal shockwave therapy when needed. Everything we use is selected to improve your comfort and guide the next steps of care in a focused, supportive way.
Foot Care That’s Built Around You
No two people move the same way, and no two cases are ever identical. Your care plan is shaped by your lifestyle, physical demands, and specific goals. Whether you’re trying to stay active, reduce discomfort, or manage an existing concern, we take the time to tailor an approach that fits into your everyday routine and supports long-term results.
Helping You Stay Ahead of Foot Issues
We don’t just focus on what’s already causing discomfort. A big part of our approach is helping you understand how to maintain your lower limb health and avoid future problems. This includes advice on footwear, activity levels, and small daily habits that can make a difference over time. Our goal is to help you stay informed and confident about your next steps, even after you leave the clinic.
Need Support for Any of These Foot Concerns?
More often than not, people try to coast through foot discomfort, hoping it will go away on its own. But the longer it’s ignored, the more likely it will affect how you move, how long you can stay on your feet, and how much you hold back from the things you enjoy. The cost isn’t just physical. It builds up slowly as frustration, hesitation, and the feeling that something is getting in the way. These are just some of the many conditions we review at our clinic, and if you plan to stay active and mobile, sorting them early makes all the difference. For those staying in the east, getting support is now easier with a podiatry team closer to home.
Heel Pain
Heel pain is one of the most common reasons people seek help from podiatrists, and it often builds up slowly before it starts affecting the way you walk. For some, it shows up first thing in the morning. For others, it lingers after long hours on their feet. Whether it’s related to plantar fasciitis, achilles issues, heel spurs, or other underlying factors, early assessment helps prevent further strain and disruption.
Custom Insoles
Custom insoles are often recommended when discomfort stems from poor alignment, pressure imbalance, or structural differences in the feet. For some, discomfort builds during daily routines like walking or standing. For others, it starts to interfere with exercise or work. These insoles are prescribed by podiatrists to fit your foot shape and movement needs, helping to improve support, reduce stress, and restore balance across your lower limbs.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails can start with mild irritation but often worsen when the nail edge begins pressing into the surrounding skin and flesh. For some, discomfort stays manageable until swelling or redness appears. For others, it becomes painful enough to affect footwear choices or daily activity. Timely podiatry care can help relieve pressure, manage infection risk, and support the nail’s healthy regrowth.
Fungal Nails
Fungal nail issues often begin with subtle changes in colour, texture, or thickness. For some, it’s a cosmetic concern that gradually becomes more difficult to manage. For others, the infection causes discomfort or affects multiple toenails over time. Addressing it early can help limit the spread and support healthy regrowth before it worsens or becomes harder to control.
Plantar Warts
Plantar warts often appear on the parts of the foot that bear the most pressure, such as the heel or ball. What starts off looking like a rough patch can begin to feel like a pebble under the skin. As pressure builds, so does discomfort, often affecting how you stand or walk. Since these warts are viral in nature, they can also spread, which is why getting them checked early helps stop them from becoming more painful and harder to manage.
Straits Podiatry, Now Serving the East Coast
If you’ve been putting off that visit to the podiatrist or waiting for the right time to get a foot issue looked at, this is the right moment to act. With our new Straits Podiatry clinic at i12 Katong, located along 112 East Coast Road, residents in the east of Singapore now have easier access to quality foot care right in their neighbourhood.
Whether it’s a concern that has been around for a while or something more recent, our podiatrists can review your foot issues early and provide clear assessments to help you understand what’s going on. From there, we will work with you on a care plan that fits into your lifestyle and keeps things manageable over the long run.
Sometimes the cost of waiting isn’t immediately obvious. It can start with minor adjustments such as skipping walks, avoiding certain shoe models, or holding back from the things you usually enjoy doing. When these become part of your routine, it might be time to speak with someone who can help. Contact us today to book an appointment or have a quick word with our podiatrists. Taking that step earlier can make it easier to stay on top of discomfort and prevent bigger issues from setting in.
