Services
Ingrown Toenail Surgery
Our clinic specializes in reliable ingrown toenail surgery using phenolisation to prevent recurrence. This procedure removes the affected nail portion under local anesthesia, providing lasting relief from pain and infection while preserving healthy nail tissue.
Custom Orthotics
We create customized orthotics through 3D laser imaging and plaster casting to address biomechanical issues. These medical devices redistribute pressure, correct alignment, and alleviate pain from conditions like flat feet, plantar fasciitis, and arthritis for improved mobility.
Diabetic Foot Care
Our team provides comprehensive diabetic foot care to prevent complications like ulcers and infections. Services include regular check-ups, wound care, and patient education on daily foot inspections and proper footwear selection to maintain mobility.
Bunion Treatment
We treat bunions through conservative methods like custom orthotics and laser therapy, as well as surgical realignment when necessary. Our approach focuses on reducing inflammation, correcting joint deviation, and preventing recurrence through proper footwear guidance.
Plantar Fasciitis Therapy
For plantar fasciitis, we combine night splints, shockwave therapy, and cortisone injections to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Treatment plans include stretching exercises and orthotics to address biomechanical causes of heel pain.

I cant say enough good things about this clinic. I called and an appointment was made for me quickly. I was totally impressed from the first contact I had with them. The clinic is bright, clean and exceptionally well maintained. Dr. Hu is kind, friendly and compassionate as well as extremely professional. He explained everything he was going to do, asked all the pertinent questions and performed the procedure quickly and (thankfully) painlessly. Made sure I was well frozen before he started and checked in with me continually to make sure I was comfortable. All in all I had a very pleasant and

It is unfortunate that you can only give a 5 Start rating to Johnny Hu of Foundation Chiropody as he definitely deserves more. I have visited other foot care providers in Mississauga with many years in the business but none of them offered the professional care as Johnny did. Thanks very much for helping me with a foot problem that no one was able to help.

We had an amazing experience with Dr. Gary at Foundation Chiropody. It was a Saturday and I was frantically trying to obtain appointment for my 7 year old daughter as she was in pain. They were kind enough to squeeze in a last minute appointment and Gary was so splendid! We will come back here! My daughter said if I ever have a foot problem again I want to come here!! Super happy and highly recommend them!!

I had an amazing experience at this clinic. Johnny looked after me with more care than any other clinics I've been to. My foot pain is now gone because of him! I would definitely recommend my friends and family to Johnny if they had any issues with their feet.
