Services
Custom Foot Orthotics
Custom foot orthotics are medical devices designed to alleviate foot and ankle symptoms by correcting biomechanical imbalances. These personalized inserts improve function, reduce pain, and prevent disorders affecting feet, knees, and back. Ideal for active individuals seeking long-term mobility solutions.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialized diabetic foot care includes preventive maintenance, wound management, and education to mitigate complications. Our chiropodists provide regular assessments, nail care, and pressure ulcer prevention to maintain foot health and mobility for diabetic patients.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues, effectively treating chronic pain and musculoskeletal conditions. This non-invasive option accelerates recovery for tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and other foot-related injuries without requiring surgery.
Toenail Surgeries
Minimally invasive toenail surgeries address chronic ingrown nails through partial or full nail avulsion. Our chiropodists apply chemical treatments to prevent regrowth while ensuring patient comfort and rapid recovery with minimal post-operative care.
Low Level Laser Therapy
Low-level laser therapy employs photobiomodulation to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair for foot conditions. This drug-free, non-invasive treatment effectively manages pain associated with arthritis, nerve damage, and soft tissue injuries.

A very good clinic for foot care. They treat all possible foot problems, and are very competent. One star off because they are not under OHIP, and it's best if you have a private insurance provider. Aside from this caveat, I would completely recommend this place, especially for common issues like bunions and bone spurs.
