(Clinics in Scarborough & Forest Hill)
At Step Right, we understand the impact that foot pain can have on your daily life. Whether you’re experiencing discomfort due to an old sports injury, or have a long-standing chronic condition, our knowledgeable practitioners are here to help.
Understanding Foot Pain
The first and most important step in treating foot pain is to correctly understand the “why and how” that pain came to be. Online research is not always accurate and that is where a personalized assessment is beneficial. Foot pain can arise from various causes, including sports injuries, overuse, biomechanical issues, chronic conditions, and improper footwear. Our practitioners are able to navigate your medical history, current lifestyle and help you put the pieces of the puzzle together.

- Achilles tendonitis
- Bunions
- Flat feet
- Gout
- Hammertoes and mallet toes
- Morton’s neuroma
- Neuropathy
