Corn and Callous Care

For safe effective care make sure you visit a regulated health professional who ensures your safety by using properly sterilized instruments.

Shockwave Therapy

Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, or heel pain that has become chronic?  Not responding to orthotic therapy?  You may be a candidate for Shock Wave Therapy.  

At Simard Foot & Ankle Clinic, we use the Swiss DolorClast, which is the most clinically proven shock wave technology, to provide the best treatment outcomes.  

The Swiss DolorClast Classic is FDA approved as a “Generator, Shock Wave, For Pain Relief” device, Class III.  It is the only FDA approved shock wave radial device.  (All other shockwave systems have been FDA classified as Electric Therapeutic Massagers.)

The Swiss DolorClast® method has become the gold standard in sports medicine.

Custom Casted Foot Orthotics

Starting at your first visit with our Chiropodist, you leave with your own individualized treatment plan to treat your foot pain.  Orthotics are only one part of a comprehensive treatment plan provided to you at Simard Foot & Ankle Clinic.  

Feet change and so do your needs.  An annual examination and evaluation is important.  At Simard Foot & Ankle Clinic, before your new orthotic is prescribed, your foot health is examined and a new casting of your feet is done every time.   Ensure you have an orthotic that is up-to-date and addresses your current symptoms.

Biomechanical & Gait Analysis

During a biomechanical examination, your foot structure and lower limbs are thoroughly examined by our Chiropodist who is an expert in identifying any abnormalities. A gait analysis is also a crucial part of a chiropodist’s evaluation in order to identify irregularities and asymmetries in your gait which may contribute to existing symptoms. The findings of a biomechanical & gait analysis are then used to determine a treatment plan to alleviate existing symptoms and provide an optimal outcome for you.
