For many patients in Singapore, the idea of seeking chiropractic care can feel slightly intimidating, particularly if English isn’t your first language or your most comfortable language for discussing health.
You want to be able to explain exactly where the pain is, how it started, what makes it worse, and what you’ve already tried. You want to understand what the chiropractor is recommending, why, and what your options are. None of that should be lost in translation.
If you’re searching for a Chinese-speaking chiropractor in Singapore, this article is for you.
The Short Answer
At Total Health Chiropractic Singapore, Leonard Koh is our Singaporean chiropractor who speaks both English and Chinese. He sees patients across three of our clinics: Toa Payoh and Paya Lebar.
Why Language Matters in Healthcare
It’s easy to underestimate how much language affects healthcare outcomes. Patients who can communicate freely with their practitioner tend to:
When you’re working with a chiropractor, the conversation isn’t just about where it hurts. It’s about your work, your sleep, your lifestyle, your stress, your history, and your goals. Trying to translate all of that in real time is exhausting, and details get missed.
A good chiropractor in your preferred language doesn’t just save you the effort. It often produces a better assessment and a better care plan.
About Leonard Koh
Leonard Koh is one of the few Singaporean chiropractors practising in Singapore today, and he brings a uniquely Singaporean perspective to his work.
Before becoming a chiropractor, Leonard’s background spanned multiple disciplines. He served as a Paramedic Head in the Singapore Armed Forces, then moved into industrial technology management at A*STAR. He holds a Bachelor of Materials Science and Engineering with Honours from Nanyang Technological University.
His path to chiropractic took him to Sherman College of Chiropractic in the USA , where he graduated Magna Cum Laude and was a consistent fixture on the President’s and Dean’s Lists.
Today, Leonard practises subluxation-based chiropractic care and is actively involved in advancing the profession. He’s a Lead Researcher for Sherman College’s Center for Scholarly Activity, where he’s currently leading a clinical case study on the systemic benefits of chiropractic care. He’s also a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), providing specialist care for the perinatal and paediatric community.
He’s certified and proficient in multiple chiropractic techniques, including Torque Release Technique, Thompson Drop, Koren Specific Technique, and Gonstead.
Outside the clinic, Leonard is a competitive archer who has won gold at national championships, and an active member of Toastmasters Singapore.
