About Podiatry
Podiatry is a specialised healthcare branch focused on the study, diagnosis, and management of foot and lower limb disorders. What is a podiatrist? Podiatrists restore foot health and leg function by focusing on preventive, non-invasive care with a holistic approach. This includes treating complex structural and biomechanical issues, sports injuries, ingrown toenails, and acute conditions such as diabetic foot ulcers in people of all ages.
In Singapore, podiatrists must be degree-qualified from a recognised university, typically from Australia or the UK, as Singaporean universities do not currently offer a podiatry programme. Understanding the role and meaning of a podiatrist helps patients better understand our team’s specialised qualifications.
FAQs about Podiatrists
What is the meaning of a podiatrist?
The Ministry of Health (MOH) in Singapore defines a podiatrist as an allied health professional who specialises in the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions affecting the feet, ankles, and lower limbs. The podiatrist is a specialised healthcare provider.
Is a podiatrist a doctor?
Is a podiatrist a doctor? In Singapore, a podiatrist is considered an Allied Health Professional (AHP), not a medical doctor (like an MD or MBBS). Still, they are highly specialised healthcare providers focused on foot and lower limb health, working closely with doctors when needed to provide comprehensive care and medical attention, especially for conditions such as diabetes, orthopaedic surgeries, or sports injuries that require surgery or additional care. While not medical doctors, they hold degrees (often from Australia/UK), diagnose and manage foot and ankle issues and conditions of the lower limbs and back using conservative methods and orthoses, functioning as essential specialists in the healthcare system.

Do I need a referral letter to see a podiatrist?
No referral is required. You may visit us directly for any foot-, lower limb- or skin & nail-related concerns, or for guidance while waiting to consult a medical practitioner.
Are podiatrists covered under insurance?
Podiatry services at a leading clinic in Singapore, such as The Foot Practice, may be covered by health insurance, but availability depends on your insurer and policy. These services are typically covered under outpatient, specialist, or allied health benefits, particularly when the intervention is medically necessary, such as for sports injuries. It is essential to review your policy details to confirm if “podiatry,” “allied healthcare”, or “alternative therapies” are specifically included.
