A certified pedorthist, or C.Ped. (pronounced SEE-ped),is a specialist in using footwear- which includes shoes, shoe modifications foot orthoses and other pedorthic devices – to solve problems in or related to, the foot and lower limb. When a foot requires medical attention, footwear becomes a factor in the patient’s treatment, recovery or rehabilitation. It’s a team approach: While the doctor treats your foot, the C.Ped. Addresses your footwear needs.
