You might need orthotic insoles if you are experiencing persistent foot, ankle, knee, hip, or lower back pain that could be related to foot mechanics. They are also beneficial for managing specific conditions like flat feet or high arches, bunions, and plantar fasciitis in Singapore.

Thanks to our in-house printing facility in Singapore, UFIT can provide custom orthotics within two to five working days after your initial assessment and consultation. This ensures minimal delay in starting your treatment.

In Singapore, a prescription or referral is generally not required to obtain custom orthotics. You can book an appointment directly for an assessment. However, if you have a referral from another healthcare professional, please bring it along.

Yes, custom orthotics are highly effective in relieving many types of foot pain. They work by correcting biomechanical imbalances, providing cushioning, and redistributing pressure, which reduces stress on painful areas like the heel, arch, or ball of the foot.

Our insoles are crafted from pedFLX filament made of TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), a material certified for medical devices. This advanced material offers excellent flexibility, durability, and breathability, ensuring optimal air circulation within your shoes.

The top cover is made from EVA, providing added comfort, while the shell comes with a 2-year warranty.

Custom orthotics insoles are designed to fit most everyday shoes, including athletic shoes, dress shoes, and casual footwear. However, very specific shoe types like high heels or extremely minimalist shoes may not accommodate them. At UFIT, we can design insoles to fit any shoe, including ski boots, cycling shoes etc. During your consultation, we can advise on footwear compatibility.

In most cases, you do not need to buy bigger shoes. Custom orthotics are designed to be thin and streamlined to fit comfortably into your existing footwear. If you typically have very tight-fitting shoes, our podiatrists can discuss options during your fitting.

The lifespan of custom orthotics varies depending on the materials, your activity level, and how well you care for them. On average, custom orthotics last between 1 to 5 years. Regular check-ups with your podiatrist in Singapore can help determine if your orthotics are still providing optimal support or if they need to be replaced or adjusted. At UFIT, we offer a 2 year warranty on shell breakage with every pair of insoles.

Coverage for custom orthotics by insurance in Singapore varies significantly based on your individual health insurance policy.

UFIT Podiatry does not currently offer direct billing services. However, we are recognised by all major insurance providers. Our services operate on a self-pay basis, and patients are required to settle payments directly at the time of service.

For insurance claims, we provide all necessary documentation, and patients can seek reimbursement from their insurance providers according to their policy terms. Feel free to contact us for any additional information or assistance in this process.
