Don’t let hammertoes and corns get in the way of enjoying your activities and doing what you love. Read below to find out why this is occurring and what to look for when shopping for your next shoe!
Our feet carry us all day, every day, through life, yet we often neglect their care until they demand our attention. This May, let's prioritize foot health and make strides towards happier, healthier feet.
So you’ve finally taken the first step - you have an appointment booked at a BioPed clinic! If this is your first visit to see a Canadian Certified Pedorthist, we understand that there may be some nerves around the first session. However, we strive to make it the best experience we can. Here’s what to expect when you first come in:
Cracked heels can quickly become a serious problem if they’re ignored. Let’s dive in to learn why our skin must be protected and nurtured to keep it intact and doing its job!
Ingrown toenails, toe fungus, and corns are amongst the many conditions that our medical foot care team can take care of for you. Too often, the feet are the most neglected part of our body, and problems might go undetected at first. Registered Chiropodists and Footcare Nurses provide medical care for skin and toenail foot concerns. However, Chiropodists offer an expanded scope of practice, such as biomechanical evaluations, so let’s review each profession in more detail.
When standing, the body is a closed kinetic chain, meaning what happens in the feet can affect the ankles, knees, hips and back. If the feet are abnormally positioned or their alignment is off, the rest of the body could suffer.
Pregnancy can be an incredibly exciting journey. However, there are many physical changes that women endure as the baby develops over the 40 weeks of gestation.
Foot pain, knee pain, and foot care - all reasons to visit a BioPed clinic! At BioPed clinics, you could have an assessment with a Chiropodist, Pedorthist or Footcare Nurse. Each role is vital to our foot care team, and we hope to clarify the differences.
Pain in the feet can hit at any time. Whether it’s while scoring your next goal or carving it out on the slopes, we’ve got your feet covered with comfort in mind!
Orthotics do more than just support your arches. In addition to providing relief for painful foot problems or injuries, orthotics may also help those who must walk or stand for a long time as part of their job by redistributing pressures across their feet and lower limbs.
