What is CHIROPODY anyway?

The practice of Chiropody (Ker-o-pody) is the assessment of the foot and the treatment and prevention of diseases or disorders of the foot by therapeutic, surgical, orthotic, pharmaceutical and palliative means. In a nutshell, Chiropodists are foot specialists.  They treat everything and anything foot-related.

Why see a Chiropodist for your foot problems?

Would you see your eye doctor for a toothache? Of course not, so it's important to see a foot health expert for your foot pain or problem. Chiropodists are highly educated, highly skilled foot health practitioners, who undergo 7-8 years of post-graduate education prior to becoming licenced. Members of the College of Chiropodists of Ontario are the only provincially regulated foot health specialists. They are exclusively trained and licensed to practise foot health. It's your assurance of the most comprehensive foot medicine available by practitioners regulated to the highest standards of care.

At We-Fix-U Physiotherapy and Foot Health Centres, our Chiropodists are leaders in the areas of biomechanics and orthotics, pediatrics, diabetic foot health and surgical intervention (when necessary).  If you would like to speak with a member of our Chiropody team, please visit us at www.we-fix-u.com for our clinic locations.

Nicole Aids in the Fight Against Multiple Sclerosis!

Nicole_-_ms_bike_ride

Team Physiotherapist, Nicole Stieber, rode 150 Km  (Acton to Waterloo) this past weekend to raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada. This will be her third year riding in the tour, and she had a great time participating! She says "It is a really fun event which raises money for a great cause".

Multiple Sclerosis is the most common neurological disease of young adults in Canada. It is estimated that 3 people are diagnosed with MS each day, and that there are currently 50,000 Canadians living with this disease.  MS is most commonly diagnosed in people between the ages of 15 and 40, but can be diagnosed at any age. At this time the cause and "cure" is unknown, although medications now exist to help control symptoms and prevent flares of the disease. The MS society of Canada not only supports MS research, but helps to fund services for people with MS and their families, as well as MS clinics, and government/social action.
 
Way to go Nicole!  We are so proud of you!

and all other individuals who suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome

 

It’s obvious you’re a sucker for that age-old sport. But after far too many years of trying to keep that good old mole down, you’ve lost that spring in your wrist.

Lucky for you, David and his physio team know what it takes to get you back into walloping shape.

So stop in one of our newly transformed health centres whenever your body is letting you down.

What is carpal tunnel syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome is common in individuals who perform repetitive wrist motions such as keyboarding, assembly or painting.

Repetitive strain causes swelling in a tunnel that is formed by the carpal bones of the wrist. This tunnel is a passage way for important structures, such as tendons and nerves, to enter the hand. This swelling pinches the structures. Pinching of one important structure, the median nerve, can cause numbness, tingling and weakness of the hand. Pregnancy may also cause swelling in this area leading to carpal tunnel.

Treatment for carpal tunnel includes reducing repetitive strain, ice, stretching and

strengthening. Your Physiotherapist may also use manual therapy and modalities to speed recovery or may suggest a brace.
