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.
At Simard Foot & Ankle Clinic, we steam sterilize all our instruments using an autoclave.
Every single instrument remains in its sterile package and is opened when your treatment begins. Steam sterilization is deemed as Best Practices by Public Health Ontario for all foot care instruments.

Custom Casted Foot Orthotics
Orthotics are just one part of a comprehensive treatment plan that can be helpful when addressing foot pain.
Feet change and so do your needs. A long term follow up and re-evaluation is important before prescribing your next orthotic.
At Simard Foot & Ankle Clinic, before a new orthotic is prescribed, your foot health is examined and a new casting of your feet is done every time. This ensures you have an up-to-date orthotic that addresses your current condition.

Biomechanical & Gait Analysis
During a biomechanical examination, your foot structure and lower limbs are thoroughly examined by our Chiropodist to identify 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.
