Personalized Foot Assessments for Pain, Posture, and Mobility
At Care-Med, every foot assessment begins with understanding you, not just your symptoms. Our Chiropodist-led evaluations take a careful, hands-on approach to uncover what’s behind your pain, discomfort, or changes in movement. Posture, strain, injury, or imbalance can all affect how your feet function, and we take the time to identify the true cause before creating a plan that fits your lifestyle.
Your appointment is guided by a licensed Chiropodist experienced in both assessment and treatment. We’ll examine how your feet move, how your body adapts, and where targeted support can make a difference through custom orthotics, footwear adjustments, or other therapeutic recommendations.
If you’ve been feeling pain, fatigue, or instability when walking or standing, now is the time to take a closer look. Our goal is to help you move more comfortably, restore balance, and protect your long-term mobility with care that’s thoughtful, practical, and personal.
What Happens at Your Appointment
Every foot tells a story, so your assessment begins with a conversation. We start by learning about your medical history, activity level, footwear, and any pain or discomfort you’ve noticed. Then, your Chiropodist performs a full physical exam to understand how your feet, joints, and muscles are working together.
During your appointment, we’ll examine:
- How your joints move, including your feet, ankles, and toes
- Muscle strength and range of motion
- Arch type and overall foot structure
- Areas of swelling, callusing, or pressure
- Knee and back alignment while standing
- The way you walk, balance, and carry weight (gait analysis)
Each detail helps us see how your feet are functioning and where support is needed. Most appointments take about 30 minutes, giving you plenty of time to ask questions and discuss your symptoms. We’ll explain our findings in clear, practical terms and walk you through the next steps, whether that means custom orthotics, footwear recommendations, or specific exercises.
Our goal is to give you a plan that makes sense, feels doable, and improves your comfort right away.
Why People Trust Care-Med?
For more than 18 years, Care-Med has built its reputation on practical, personalized care that puts people first. Every appointment is an opportunity to listen, understand, and create solutions that make a real difference. Not just today, but for your long-term comfort and mobility.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. Every person walks differently, works differently, and lives differently and your care should reflect that. Our Chiropodist takes the time to explain what’s happening, answer questions, and guide you toward simple, effective changes that help reduce pain and improve movement.
If you’ve been living with ongoing foot discomfort, balance issues, or fatigue, a Chiropodist Foot Assessment is a great place to start. It’s an easy first step toward understanding how your feet affect your posture and overall health, and how the right support can help you move with more confidence every day.
No physician referral is needed, and most extended health plans cover Chiropody services.

Chiropodist vs Podiatrist
In general, both Chiropodists and Podiatrists are healthcare professionals who are trained to treat a wide range of foot and lower limb conditions, such as corns, calluses, ingrown toenails, and foot infections. They may also provide advice on foot care and recommend appropriate footwear.
Historically, the term “chiropodist” was more commonly used in the UK, while “podiatrist” was more commonly used in the US. However, in many regions, including the UK, the two terms are now used interchangeably to refer to professionals who specialize in foot care.
In Canada, there may be a distinction between the two terms. A Chiropodist is typically a professional who has completed a diploma-level program in chiropody, while a podiatrist is a professional who has completed a degree-level program in podiatry. However, the scope of practice for both is similar.
