Foot Care

Pedorthist is the title of a professional who has specialized training to modify footwear and employ supportive devices to address conditions which affect the feet and lower limbs. They are trained in the assessment of lower limb anatomy and bio-mechanics, and the appropriate use of corrective footwear – including shoes, shoe modifications and other pedorthic devices.

A Chiropodist is a primary health care provider educated exclusively in the assessment, treatment and prevention of foot disorders. Chiropodists provide patients with total nail and skin care, perform nail and soft tissue surgeries under local anesthetic by injection, and prescribe and fit patients with custom foot orthotics, and orthopaedic footwear. Your Chiropodist can also prescribe topical antibiotics and anti-inflammatories according to your condition.

A custom orthotic is a device designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. They look like insoles, but that is where the similarities end. Custom orthotics are bio-mechanical medical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. They are individually fabricated over a three dimensional model of your foot. Custom orthotics work on your feet much like glasses work on your eyes – they reduce stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. Contact us today to find the right custom orthotics for you.

An AFO is brace that is designed to couple the foot and lower leg together in order to restore more optimum function to the entire lower extremity. AFO’s come in many different styles and are fabricated from a wide variety of materials including plastics, leather and carbon graphite. Very frequently these devices are custom made over a three dimensional model of a patient’s foot and leg and are prescribed and dispensed by health care practitioners. AFO’s are usually worn in extra depth shoes. Call Us Today to see if a Ankle-Foot Orthotic is right for you.
