Medical Foot Care
Medical foot care provided by a Chiropodist is crucial for maintaining overall foot health and addressing various foot-related concerns. Proper foot care is essential for individuals of all ages, as foot problems can lead to discomfort, mobility issues, and complications in other parts of the body, such as the knees, hips, and lower back.
Chiropodists provide a comprehensive range of services designed to promote foot health by diagnosing, treating, and preventing conditions related to the feet, ankles, and lower limbs.
Many patients choose to see our Chiropodists on a regular basis for the comprehensive range of services they provide to promote foot health and alleviate pain or discomfort in the feet. These services include regular foot assessments, treatment of common ailments such as corns, calluses, ingrown toenails, and fungal infections, and management of more serious conditions like bunions, plantar fasciitis, and beyond.
Chiropodists also offer specialized care for people with chronic conditions like diabetes, arthritis, and circulatory problems, ensuring that their feet are regularly monitored for any signs of deterioration.
Foot Facts!
The average person walks up to about 160 000 kilometres, or 115,000 miles, in their lifetime, enough to walk around the earth 4 times. That works out to around 6 and a half kilometres a day.
Seventy-five percent of Canadians will experience foot health problems of varying degrees of severity at one time or another in their lives. About 19 percent of the Canadian population has an average of 1.4 foot problems each year.
Your feet mirror your general health. Such conditions as arthritis, diabetes, nerve and circulatory disorders can show their initial symptoms in the feet -- so foot ailments can be your first sign of more serious medical problems.
While walking, each step can exert a pressure on your feet that exceeds your body weight and when you're running, it can be three or four times your weight -- which adds up to a cumulative force of over 500 tons a day. With certain sporting activities, this force can go up to 7 times bodyweight.
