Plantar Warts: What You Need to Know 🦠

Have you noticed a small, hard bump on the bottom of your foot that’s sore when you walk? It might be a plantar wart, a common viral infection caused by HPV (human papillomavirus). They’re often confused with corns or calluses, but they’re not the same thing.

How to spot them:
šŸ”¹ Small, grainy growths on the sole of the foot
šŸ”¹ Tiny black dots
šŸ”¹ Painful when squeezed or during weight-bearing

How we can help:
At Footprint Health & Wellness Centre, our Chiropodists diagnose and treat plantar warts using safe, effective methods that are tailored to your needs. Whether you’ve had them for weeks or years, we’re here to help you get back on your feet pain-free.

✨ No referral needed.
šŸ“ South Barrie, Ontario
šŸ‘£ Comprehensive foot care in a professional and supportive setting

If you’re dealing with a stubborn wart that just won’t go away, book your assessment today. Your feet will thank you.

Does your foot hurt the moment it hits the floor in the morning?
That ā€œfirst-step painā€ is a common sign that the tissues in your foot are under stress, and it’s not something you should ignore.

A chiropody assessment helps us figure out why it’s happening by looking closely at your mechanics, gait, footwear, and the exact area that’s irritated. From there, we guide you through evidence-based treatment options that fit your needs.

If your mornings start with pain, we can help you understand the cause and how to manage it.

Woke up with sudden pain on the ball of my foot this morning, not ideal when you’re on your feet all day. Luckily, I work with the best! Kelly gave me a round of shockwave therapy and added a small orthotic modification to offload the sore spot. Already feeling so much better šŸ™Œ
Foot pain can happen to anyone (even a Chiropodist!) — the key is getting it checked early so it doesn’t linger.

Long flights = higher risk of swelling and blood clots.
Compression stockings = simple way to keep blood moving and legs comfortable.

But watching Matt try to put his on mid-flight?
Pure entertainment.
10/10 recommend wearing them before boarding to avoid unnecessary aerobics and injured spouses. šŸ˜‚

What does your arch look like?
In this photo, the left footprint shows a higher arch, while the right footprint shows a low arch. Both are completely normal, but each affects how your body absorbs shock, handles pressure, and moves throughout the day.

If you’re dealing with heel pain, tired feet, knee or hip discomfort, or you’re just curious about your own arch type, we can assess it with a full biomechanical exam and gait analysis at Footprint Health and Wellness Centre.

Your arches tell a story. Let’s make sure it’s a good one. Book anytime.

Diabetic foot care is all about early detection.

This long-term patient previously had a diabetic foot ulcer that healed well, but the area still builds a thick callus over time. He came in with new discomfort, and after carefully debriding the callus, I found early signs of skin stress. The skin isn’t broken, but it’s showing the first indications that it could progress if ignored.

I applied an off-loading, semi-compressed felt pad to immediately reduce pressure, and we reviewed the importance of wearing his custom orthotics consistently, as they’re specifically designed to protect this exact spot.

This is why routine diabetic foot care is essential.
We can catch problems before an ulcer forms, intervene early, and keep feet healthy and ulcer-free.

Packing light but smart šŸ‘£
For my mini beach getaway, I’m only bringing three pairs of shoes, because when you choose the right ones, that’s all you need!

Airport + travel days: my go-to orthopaedic walking shoes. These are perfect for hours on my feet and racing through terminals.

Resort + dinners: my cork-based supportive sandals: breathable, stylish, and kind to my arches.

Pool + beach: my water-friendly arch-support flip-flops: keeping my feet safe from hot sand and poolside bacteria.

I never sacrifice support… even on vacation.

Heading somewhere warm this winter?

Here are a few foot care tips to keep your vacation pain-free and blister-free! šŸ‘£

1ļøāƒ£ Choose the right shoes
Cute flip-flops are fine for the beach, but not for sightseeing. Pack a supportive sandal or sneaker with arch support, your feet will thank you after a long day of walking.

2ļøāƒ£ Don’t forget sunscreen… for your feet!
Your feet can burn just like the rest of your skin. Apply SPF to the tops and even between the toes before heading out.

3ļøāƒ£ Keep them dry & clean
Warm climates + moisture = the perfect setup for fungus. Dry well between your toes after swimming or showering, and change socks if your feet get sweaty.

4ļøāƒ£ Pack a small foot-care kit
Include band-aids, blister pads, and a travel-sized foot cream or antifungal powder, just in case!

5ļøāƒ£ Stretch it out
Long flights or car rides? Roll your ankles and flex your toes often to keep circulation moving.

Wherever you’re heading this winter, make sure your feet are ready for the adventure!

Did you know custom orthotics don’t just support your feet, they support your entire body?
By improving your alignment, they can help reduce knee, hip, and even back pain.
When your foundation is balanced, everything above it moves better, feels better, and works better.

Something strange is afoot at Footprint…

Cobwebs in the corners, pumpkins on the desk, and even a few bloody footprints down the hall.

But don’t worry…it’s not an outbreak of foot fungus (we’d have that treated ASAP 😜).
It’s just our Halloween spirit creeping in! šŸŽƒšŸ•øļø

From all of us at Footprint Health & Wellness Centre,
Have a spooktacular Halloween! šŸ‘»

šŸ‘æ Devilish toenail just in time for Halloween!
This one came out with horns on both sides, no wonder it was causing so much pain, swelling, and infection. After a total nail removal, this patient is finally pain-free… and this little devil toe is officially gone for good.
