What is a Chiropodist?

A Chiropodist is a primary health care provider educated exclusively in the assessment, treatment and prevention of foot disorders. Chiropodists also medically prescribe and fit orthotic devices, and perform nail and soft-tissue surgery under local anaesthetic.


Why Foot Care?

The key to a healthy lifestyle is being in good shape from head to foot. The foot, though often overlooked, is essential to healthy living. People don't realize the tremendous pressure that is placed on their feet by simply performing normal daily activities. Proper foot care not only ensures healthy feet, but also overall health.

Foot problems contribute to pain in the knees, hips and lower back. Our custom corrective foot orthotics and sandals help you manage your foot problems, and may help prevent future conditions from developing.

The DeSimone Foot and Ankle Centre helps ensure that your feet keep your life moving step-after-step.
