Our Approach to Your Care

We take time to understand your condition fully before recommending any treatment. Most patients begin with conservative options first.

Personalised Assessment

Your initial consultation includes a detailed discussion of your symptoms and medical history, as well as a physical examination. We may recommend imaging, such as X-rays or MRI scans, to better understand your joint health.

Clear Discussion of Options

Dr Chin will explain the findings in understandable terms and outline the range of suitable management paths. This often begins with non-surgical strategies.

Non-Surgical Management

Many conditions respond well to conservative approaches. These may include:

  • Guided physiotherapy and exercise plans
  • Medication for pain and inflammation
  • Targeted injections for symptom relief

Surgical Consideration

If non-surgical options are not providing sufficient relief and your quality of life is affected, surgical options will be discussed in detail. Dr Chin has experience in procedures such as arthroscopic knee surgery and joint replacement, focusing on clear goals for recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you don't find what you're looking for, call us directly and our team will be happy to help.

You may consider seeing a specialist if you have persistent hip or knee pain, swelling, stiffness, or difficulty walking. If symptoms continue for several weeks or affect daily activities, a medical evaluation can help identify the cause and discuss treatment options.
Hip and knee pain can result from several conditions, including:
  • Arthritis
  • Meniscus injury
  • Ligament injuries such as ACL tears
  • Cartilage damage
  • Hip labral tears
  • Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)
  • Sports injuries
A consultation helps determine the underlying cause of your symptoms.
Not necessarily. Many patients are treated with non-surgical options such as medication, physiotherapy, or activity modification. Surgery may be considered when symptoms persist or when the joint condition significantly affects daily function.
Knee or hip replacement may be considered when arthritis causes ongoing pain, stiffness, or difficulty walking and other treatments have not provided sufficient relief. During consultation, the doctor will review your symptoms, physical examination findings, and imaging results before discussing treatment options.
Recovery varies depending on the procedure and the patient's overall health. Some patients begin gentle movement soon after surgery, while full recovery may take several weeks to months. Your doctor will provide guidance on rehabilitation and activity during follow-up visits.
You can book an appointment by calling the clinic directly at Tel: (+65) 6690 2974 or submitting the enquiry form on this page. Our clinic team will contact you to arrange a consultation time.

Persistent joint pain
doesn't go away on its own.

Most patients put up with knee or hip pain longer than they need to. A consultation with Dr Chin takes about an hour — you'll leave knowing exactly what's going on and what your options are.
