How do I know if I need to see a Pedorthist?
If you are suffering from foot pain, irritation, lack of circulation, or are afflicted with a disease that causes any of these problems, you could benefit from professional treatment. Read about common injuries here, and contact your doctor to arrange for a referral to Body ‘N’ Sole. Certified Members of the Pedorthic Association of Canada (PAC) are one of the few medical professionals educated in the design, fit, manufacture, and modification of footwear and foot orthosis (Orthotics). These specially qualified individuals are often called upon to fill prescriptions and make recommendations. Your Pedorthist will assess variables that are unique to each foot, such as overall length, heel to ball length, and width, all assessed in both a seated and standing position. Other variables such as bony deformities of the greater and lesser toes, instep height, amputations, ulceration, and biomechanical anomalies such as over-pronation or over-supination, in-toeing or out-toeing will be consider
