Frequently asked questions
1. Do I need a referral to see a chiropodist or podiatrist?
No. In Ontario, you do not need a doctor’s referral to book an appointment with a chiropodist or podiatrist.
2. Are your services covered by insurance?
Most extended health insurance plans cover chiropody services, orthotics, and foot treatments. Contact your provider for exact coverage.
3. What conditions do you treat?
We treat heel pain, plantar fasciitis, ingrown toenails, flat feet, bunions, diabetic foot issues, nail and skin conditions, sports injuries, warts, corns, calluses, and more.
4. What is the difference between a chiropodist and a podiatrist?
Both are regulated foot specialists. Podiatrists often have U.S. training; chiropodists train in Ontario. Both diagnose and treat foot and ankle problems.
5. Do you make custom orthotics?
Yes. We provide prescription-only, medical-grade custom orthotics designed to reduce pain and improve foot function.
6. How long does an appointment take?
Most initial assessments take 30–45 minutes. Follow-up visits vary depending on the treatment.
7. What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring your health card (for identification), current medications, a list of symptoms, and the shoes you wear most often.
8. Do you treat children and seniors?
Yes. We provide specialized foot care for children, adults, and seniors — supporting mobility and long-term foot health.
9. When should I see a foot specialist?
Persistent foot pain is a sign of an underlying condition. Early treatment prevents long-term damage.
If you're experiencing pain, swelling, numbness, nail issues, skin lesions, or difficulty walking, it’s time to see a specialist.
10. Do you offer same-day appointments?
Yes, depending on availability at our Barrie or Owen Sound locations. Call to check for same-day openings.
