Comfort & Support for Moms-to-Be

6 in 10 women discover their first varicose vein during pregnancy; varicose veins often appear around the fourth month of pregnancy, but they will substantially diminish or disappear in most case after having given birth.

Medical compression is the standard for prevention of venous insufficiency and wearing compression is recommended for the entire pregnancy. Medical compression promotes blood circulation and alleviates the discomfort in the legs. Your legs will feel lighter, more energized, and less swollen.

Do you find stress and pain when wearing your shoes?

Custom made orthotics are designed to align your foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient positions, reducing stress and strain on your body.

The plastic body of the custom orthotic helps to re-align the foot by redirecting and reducing certain motion that takes place while walking.

At the Oakville Hospital Footcare & Orthotic Centre, our chiropodists will custom make an orthotic that is right for you.

Plantar Fasciitis: Don’t Let Heel Pain Slow You Down

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia—a band of tissue connecting your heel to your toes. It often feels like a sharp pain first thing in the morning or after long periods of rest.

What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?
• Overuse or repetitive strain
• Poor footwear choices
• High arches or flat feet
• Prolonged standing or walking

How Can a Chiropodist Help?
A chiropodist is an expert in foot health and can offer:
✔️ Comprehensive assessments to identify the cause of your pain
✔️ Customized treatment plans, including stretching and strengthening exercises
✔️ Prescription orthotics to provide proper support and alleviate strain
✔️ Advice on footwear to promote healing and prevent recurrence

Early intervention is key! Ignoring plantar fasciitis can lead to chronic pain and reduced mobility. Don’t wait—consult a chiropodist to get back on your feet pain-free.

Does Your Child Experience Pain During or After Sports?

Heel pain in children, particularly those active in sports, could be due to Sever’s Disease—a common condition affecting growing children. This inflammation of the growth plate in the heel can cause significant discomfort, especially during physical activity.

In some cases, heel pain may also be linked to Plantar Fasciitis, another condition that can affect active individuals, especially children.

As specialists in foot health, chiropodists provide expert care to manage and treat Sever’s Disease effectively. Our approach may include:
✅ Custom orthotics to alleviate pressure on the heel.
✅ Guidance on proper footwear to ensure optimal support.
✅ Stretching and strengthening exercises to promote healing.
✅ Pain management strategies tailored to your child’s needs.

If your child is struggling with heel pain, don’t wait. Professional intervention can help them recover comfortably and get back to the activities they love.
