At Foot Clinique we believe that educating our patients
on proper foot care and footwear selection are important aspects in providing
optimal foot comfort.
Your foot comfort is important to your well being,
on and off the job, and as such it is our mission to maximize your comfort
level. Proper foot care and quality foot wear is an investment in your
overall well being. Most of us take our feet for granted until they become
a problem. Take good care of your feet - and they will take you places,
you need them.
Orthotics:
Orthotics are Custom Made Foot supports made specifically for your feet.
Orthotics are not just arch supports. Store bought arch supports cannot
achieve normal function of your feet. Orthotics work to eliminate the
specific causes of your symptoms, so your feet function more efficiently.
Foot Orthotics are made under the direction of your Chiropodist (Foot
Specialist), and are custom made to meet your specific requirements. The
process begins by taking a plaster cast of your feet while you are lying
face down on an examination table. The cast is sent to a laboratory to
fabricate your Orthotic. Based on your Chiropodist's prescription, your
new Foot Orthotics will support, stabilise and control your foot for all
your daily activities.
AChiropodist:
The practice of Chiropody involves the assessment of the Foot, and the
treatment and prevention of disease or disorders of the Foot by Therapeutic,
Orthotic, Palliative, and Surgical means. Chiropodists
undertake a specialized intensive three year program of study that covers:
Anatomy and Physiology, Pathology, Biomechanics, Pharmacology, Anesthesiology,
Dermatology, Sports Medicine, Microbiology, Physical Therapy, Pediatrics,
Orthotics, Medicine and Surgery.
