Services
Custom Orthotics
Custom-made foot orthotics are crafted following a detailed biomechanical assessment and casting process. These devices correct structural imbalances, alleviate pain, and improve mobility for conditions like flat feet and plantar fasciitis. Our orthotics adhere to industry standards, ensuring durability and comfort tailored to individual gait patterns.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy utilizes high-energy acoustic waves to accelerate healing in chronic foot conditions like heel spurs and Achilles tendonitis. This non-invasive treatment stimulates blood flow and tissue regeneration, offering rapid pain relief without surgery. It is particularly effective for patients unresponsive to traditional therapies.
Diabetic Footcare
Our diabetic footcare program focuses on preventing complications through regular assessments, wound care, and education. We address neuropathy, ulcers, and circulation issues to reduce amputation risks. Services include nail care, callus management, and custom footwear to maintain foot health in diabetic patients.
Minor Surgical Procedures
Minor surgical procedures treat ingrown toenails, plantar warts, and soft tissue abnormalities. Performed in-clinic under local anesthesia, these procedures ensure quick recovery and minimal discomfort. Our chiropodists prioritize precision and safety, using sterile techniques to resolve acute and chronic foot issues.
Biomechanical Assessment
A comprehensive biomechanical assessment evaluates foot structure, alignment, and movement patterns. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we identify abnormalities causing pain or dysfunction. This analysis informs personalized treatment plans, including orthotics, exercises, or footwear recommendations to restore optimal mobility.

My experience with Chris was very disappointing and I wasted $100 on a job not even half as good despite telling him of my expectation. The other chiropodist probably is worthy of the good reviews but she has moved the USA. Wish I had known this before my appointment.

I recently moved to Oakville and I was concerned I wouldn't find a Chiropodist that was as good as the one I left behind in London. However, Dr. Chris Puddephatt exceeded my expectations! He was really nice, he listened to what I had to say, he took his time, and he wasn't pushy at all. I highly recommend the Oakville Foot Clinic and don't forget to ask for Dr. Puddephatt!

After being bothered for several weeks by pains in both feet, I finally made an appointment with Dr. Silvia based on her informative and welcoming website. What a good choice that was! She was a very open, friendly professional woman, ready to listen to my tales of woe while examining my feet. Her explanations were easy to understand and I was provided with an illustrated list of foot exercises. Within a week my feet were almost back to normal. And now, a month later, they are! Thank you!
