About Us

All mechanically stable structures require a strong foundation and base. A persons foundation is their feet. Our feet have evolved into efficient sound structures.

Any mal- alignment within the lower extremity can cause instabilities and imbalances to occur in the feet. These instabilities can lead to any of the common foot pathologies such as foot, knee and back strain, corns, callus, hammer toes, bunions and heel spurs.

When these problems occur professional help should be sought. CHIROPODISTS are Canadian educated specialists. They are licensed primary practitioners regulated by the Health Professions Act and governed by the College of Chiropodists of Ontario.

Considering we walk over 120,000 miles during our lives, even marginal mal-alignments can lead to progressively painful maladies. Treatment with appropriate customized medical orthotics can relieve discomfort and prevent further progression of deformities.

There has been a lot of over utilization of the term orthotics due to retailers in malls posing as foot clinic shoe stores. The foot is a very complex structure and orthotics need to control each phase of the walking cycle to an exact degree.

Rather than list a litany of unqualified distributors of orthotics, be they retailers or others in the allied health fields, it is ingenuous to mention those who have the education to assess, diagnose and prescribe orthotics. They are CHIROPODISTS and the old american podiatrists.

It is extremely important to be cognizant that weight bearing impressions such as computer or foam boxes provide inferior and uninsurable arch supports. Please inquire with your insurance company as to which method of impression is acceptable. You will usually find that a non weight bearing (neutral) plaster cast is the only acceptable form capable of controlling the walking cycle. Your physician should also be aware before referral to a practitioner.
