Foot assessment

Foot health affects more than just our feet: Our feet are our body’s foundation, so if there’s a problem, it can affect the rest of our body too. Likewise, if there’s a problem elsewhere in our body, it can increase the burden on our feet and lead to foot issues.  Bottom line: if you have foot or ankle pain, or something just doesn’t seem quite right, you can see one of our foot specialists for an assessment at our foot clinic.

​

We will start with an assessment for:

• Foot pain;

• Footwear recommendations;

• General foot check-ups;

• Diagnostic Purposes; or

• Any foot-related concern or condition.

​

At your assessment:

• The chiropodist will listen to your foot concerns and take a medical history.

• The chiropodist will then examine your feet. If your foot concerns relate to foot pain, mobility or foot deformities, the chiropodist will also conduct a biomechanical assessment and gait analysis.

• The chiropodist will then diagnose your foot issues and any underlying causes.

• A treatment plan will be discussed, and the chiropodist will make recommendations for treatment

• prescriptions, footwear modifications, or foot accessories.

• Follow-up appointments will be booked as needed, as well as appointments for any related services such as, orthotics, shockwave therapy, splinting, toenail care etc...

Time permitting, the chiropodist may also start treatment during the assessment.

​

Foot assessments are not covered by MSP; however foot care benefits and chiropodist services are covered by many private health benefit plans.
