At BioPed Footcare we are your one stop shop for all of your lower limb needs. Whether it’s the shoes on your feet or the braces on your knees, we’ve got you covered. Read below to find out about what we can do!
No matter what the issue, your BioPed lower limb specialist will complete a full in-person assessment which includes; a detailed history taking, range-of-motion assessment, and a gait analysis. All of this information contributes to the treatment plan they will craft for you to keep you and your feet moving!
Orthotics
Feeling foot pain at the beginning of your day? Heel pain when you are out on your evening runs? Orthotics might be what you are looking for! Orthotics are medical devices which can be slipped into any shoe and are used to help correct any biomechanical abnormalities (think rolling in or rolling out). At BioPed, we specialize in custom orthotics for the feet and the best part is…we make them on site! This leads to fast turnaround times so we can get you back on your feet and doing more quickly. Orthotics can be made out of a variety of materials depending on what is occurring with your feet, they can be soft or hard, and can always be adjusted over time.
Compression
Do you have achiness in your legs as you get deeper into your long work day? Do you have swelling or varicosities in your legs? Compression socks are great at targeting any swelling difficulties you are having in your legs and we can do that too! In clinic we will explain what compression socks are, measure you and get you fitted. Compression socks come in all shapes and sizes…even colours! From neutral to polka dot we’ll be able to find something that matches perfectly and aids in keeping the swelling swelling and aching.
Bracing
We get it, things happen. Injuries can occur but don’t let that stop you from doing the things you love. Whether it is knee osteoarthritis or even the dreaded sprained ankle, at BioPed we have braces for all of your lower limb needs. Much like an orthotic assessment, we will complete a bracing assessment to determine what brace is best for your needs. Braces can be 3-D printed and rigid or even compressive and cloth based, there are many different options out there.
Footwear
What you put on your feet is important. In clinic at BioPed we have a wide range of footwear available to suit your condition and lifestyle; boots for winter, slippers for in house, running shoes for your next marathon etc. Picking the right shoe is important and that’s where we can help. Having a shoe that fits properly in both the width and length department is key to keeping pain away while making your day as comfortable as possible. No matter the foot shape or size, we can always find something that fits as we even can do custom footwear!
Medical footcare
Corns? Calluses? Warts? At many BioPed clinics, we have both Registered Chiropodists and Advanced Footcare Nurses trained to deal with even the trickiest of cases. Rest assured that you can put your feet up and we will take care of the rest. These clinicians will assess the areas of concern and determine the best course of treatment to keep the calluses at bay and feet and skin feeling soft, supple and healthy!
