Your trusted chiropodists for complete foot and ankle care.

Professional Foot Care You Can Count On

Our feet are an important part of our anatomy, from getting us between A and B to helping us play the sport we love. This is why so many people seek a podiatrist in Toronto.

At Step Right Foot Clinic, we have a team of experienced chiropodists in Forest Hill and Scarborough who are well-versed in the various conditions and diseases that may affect the feet and ankles.

What is a Chiropodist?

A chiropodist is a foot specialist who has undergone extensive training in lower limb health and function. They can address a wide variety of conditions, diseases, and injuries that may affect the toes, feet, and ankles in particular.

They’re qualified to offer a wide range of treatment options, including foot mobilization therapy and ingrown toenail surgery.

Conditions and Diseases a Chiropodist Treats

There are many reasons why patients want to see a chiropodist in Scarborough or Forest Hill, including:

  • Foot pain (caused by conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and Morton’s neuroma)
  • Diabetes-related foot issues (such as neuropathy, poor circulation, and infections)
  • Chronic foot conditions (such as recurrent sprains, adult acquired flat foot, and arthritis)
  • General foot care (such as fungal skin and nails, ingrown nails, plantar warts, calluses, and corns)
  • Orthotic therapy (the creation of specially designed orthotic inserts to help correct foot issues like overpronation)

Chiropodists are also able to perform soft-tissue surgical procedures in cases where more aggressive treatment is required (such as cyst drainage and recurrent infected ingrown toenails).

When to See a Chiropodist

It’s generally recommended that you see a chiropodist yearly for a routine foot assessment. This may help to keep your feet and ankles in good health, as well as pick up on potential issues before they become problematic.

You should also visit a chiropodist if you:

  • Begin to experience acute or chronic pain in your ankles or feet
  • Notice color or texture changes in your skin or toenails
  • Notice cracks in the skin of your ankles, feet, or toes
  • Feel blisters or sores on your ankles, feet, or toes

You should also visit a chiropodist more regularly if you are diabetic or suffer from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. These serious conditions can affect your feet and mobility, so it’s important to stay on top of them.

Your General Podiatry and Chiropodist Questions Answered

No, a referral is generally not needed to see a chiropodist. While it is not usually covered by public health plans, most extended health insurance plans and some government programs do offer coverage.

Most chiropody treatments are relatively painless, with many patients experiencing only slight discomfort at most. Your practitioner will warn you if something is likely to be uncomfortable, and please let them know if you feel pain at any point of the treatment.

Your first visit to our clinic will include completion of a medical intake form and a thorough examination of your legs and feet. We will use this information to create a personalized treatment plan. Treatment may be provided in the same visit, or you may need to return for another consult.

Please ensure that you have removed any nail polish, Shellac, acrylics, or nail extensions before your appointment.
