    • Pedorthists are healthcare professionals who specialize in the assessment of the feet and lower limbs, and the design, fitting and adjustment of custom foot orthotics and footwear.

    • A Certified Pedorthist (C.Ped (C)) has completed specialized training and national certification through the College of Pedorthics of Canada.

    • Pedorthists work alongside physicians, physiotherapists and other practitioners, like the team at Creekside Health!

    • Your feet are the foundation for everything you do. When they aren't well supported, pain can show up in your feet, knees, hips or back.

    • A pedorthist looks at how you stand, walk and move, then finds solutions that reduce pain, improve alignment and help prevent future injury.

    • Whether you're on the trails, the slopes or on your feet all day at work, pedorthics can help you keep doing the activities you love.

    • Your first visit includes a review of your health history, activity level and symptoms.

    • Your pedorthist will assess your feet, posture and gait (the way you walk), and look at the footwear you wear most often.

    • Together, you'll build a plan. This might include custom orthotics, footwear recommendations or modifications.

    • If orthotics are recommended, you'll return for a fitting and follow-up to make sure they feel right.

    • Tip: bring the shoes you wear most, plus any orthotics you already have.

    • Pedorthists help people of all ages with a wide range of foot and lower limb concerns, including plantar fasciitis, flat feet, bunions, Achilles pain, shin splints and arthritis.

    • Many knee, hip and lower back problems can be linked to how your feet move, and a pedorthist can help address the root cause.

    • Pedorthists also support people living with diabetes, who need extra care to protect their feet.
