Podiatric medicine focuses on the prevention, assessment, and treatment of diseases and disorders affecting the foot, using therapeutic and orthotic methods. In Ontario, chiropodists (pronounced ker-ro-po-dist) are primary health care providers who play a vital role in supporting the overall health and well-being of individuals. They manage and treat both acute and chronic conditions of the foot and ankle, help prevent injuries and disabilities, and promote proper foot health.

Members of The College of Chiropodists of Ontario are the only regulated health professionals in Ontario who specialize in biomechanics and orthotic therapy. They complete a rigorous educational path, with a minimum of 7–8 years of post-secondary education before earning their professional designation. Their scope of practice includes treating skin and nail conditions, subcutaneous lesions, bone deformities, and biomechanical issues.


Podiatric Medical Assistant

Our Podiatric Medical Assistants play a crucial role in supporting our chiropodists in the treatment of foot and ankle conditions. Their responsibilities include preparing patients for exams, assisting with procedures, and performing routine tasks such as taking medical histories, sterilizing instruments, applying dressings or braces, fitting footwear and/or orthotics.

Our Podiatric Medical Assistants are trained healthcare professionals who work independently under the delegation of our Chiropodists to provide hands-on patient care. They perform a range of clinical services, including post-operative dressing changes, physical therapy modalities such as therapeutic ultrasound and shockwave therapy, and footwear fittings. They also work in tandem with our Chiropodists to support orthotic fittings.

Whether you’re receiving break-in instructions for your custom orthotics or undergoing a therapeutic treatment to reduce pain and improve mobility, our Podiatric Medical Assistants are here to deliver personalized, professional care aligned with your treatment plan.
