Foot Pain Treatment in Guelph & Milton

Foot pain can be anywhere from a minor annoyance to crippling and debilitating. It is a common complaint and can have many causes.

Pain in the foot can be due to a problem in any part of the foot: bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles, joints, fascia, toenails, nerves, blood vessels, or skin can all be the source of foot pain.

Foot pain is never normal. Since your feet bear the brunt of your entire body weight and are so critical to functioning, foot problems are difficult to deal with. With the proper assessment and treatment, most foot problems can be treated successfully.

Chiropodists are regulated foot specialists who assess, diagnose and treat foot and lower limb disorders. We are regulated by the Regulated Health Professionals Act of Ontario. This is the same governing body for doctors, nurses and physiotherapists. We provide chiropody and foot care services in a safe, professional and ethical manner.

We treat the cause of the symptoms. Chiropodists treat and prevent diseases, disorders or dysfunctions of the foot by therapeutic, orthotic or palliative means.
