A chiropodist has many skills and techniques that help patients eliminate foot pain, gain mobility, and maintain healthy feet. They are educated exclusively in the assessment and treatment of foot disorders.
Many wonder what the difference is between a chiropodist and podiatrist?
Essentially, both chiropodists and podiatrists are foot doctors who treat foot problems and maintain a healthy foot. In Ontario there is no difference between the two.
What Do We Treat?
Chiropodists are regulated, primary care practitioners that play a key role in the health of children, adults and seniors across Ontario.
Our registered Chiropodist in Toronto is qualified to diagnose and treat arthritis, diabetes, nails, and sports injuries. Biomechanical assessments and orthotics are also part of our training. As well as helping people of all ages, we play an important role in keeping older people independent and mobile.
Visiting a chiropodist or podiatrist regularly can prevent many foot problems, and can diagnose and treat potentially painful conditions at their earliest stage, thereby preventing unnecessary suffering. Comfort, pain relief, and maintaining mobility can be achieved through many approaches done with chiropody services.
