What is a Pedorthist and how can they help me?

Foot and lower leg pain can be one of the most frustrating issues to deal with—it can prevent you from moving around comfortably, staying active, and enjoying the activities you love.

Canadian Certified Pedorthists are one of the few healthcare professionals that specialize in lower limb anatomy and gait. We are the orthotic and footwear specialists! Through postural, musculoskeletal, and gait assessments, we develop a treatment plan that works with your unique anatomy and lifestyle. Often orthotics or shoe modifications are all that is needed to help get you back to being pain-free. All manner of pains, abnormalities and conditions can be assisted by a Pedorthist:

• plantar fasciitis

• metatarsalgia (forefoot pain)

• overpronation & underpronation

• knee pain

• chronic ankle sprains

• many, many more

During your initial visit, an in-depth assessment of your posture, gait, and feet (and your shoes!) will culminate in a casting of your feet for custom foot orthotics.
