Welcome to Ottawa Foot Practice. We specialize in the treatment of stubborn foot & ankle pain conditions and infections including unresponsive fungal nails, plantar warts and diabetic open wounds.

Today I will be talking about what a doctor of podiatric medicine registered as a chiropodist does:

The practice of podiatric medicine , podiatry and chiropody is the assessment of the foot and the treatment and prevention of diseases or disorders of the foot by therapeutic, surgical, orthotic and palliative means. Podiatry and chiropody is practiced by qualified, regulated practitioners who have undergone government established and recognized programs and examinations.Only those who are registered by the Ontario College Of Chiropodists and Podiatrists of Ontario are licensed to practice as Chiropodists or Podiatrists.

Examination of children's feet is an integral part of podiatric medicine, podiatry or chiropody. Frequently, children have inherited structural imbalances of the feet that may go unrecognized and can lead to other deformities and imbalances within the proximal skeletal system (knees, hips, lower back). When detected early, these imbalances of the feet, most of which being related to functional subluxation and misalignment of the ankle bone, are treated so that a sturdier foundation can be provided for the later years.

At the opposite end of the scale, care is required for many foot problems commonly seen in seniors. This can include anything from routine curative & palliative care of unmanageable toenails and calluses to diabetic ulcerations and infections. At this time in life, circulatory impairment, as well as degenerative joint and skin conditions are common findings. With proper care and attention to their feet, seniors may enjoy many years of pain-free foot function.
