Orthotics can be helpful, but they aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution. If you’re only visiting a place that only sells orthotics and shoes, chances are that’s exactly what they’ll recommend — even if it’s not what you truly need.

That’s why it’s so important to see a Chiropodist — a regulated foot care professional trained to assess, diagnose, and treat the root cause of your foot pain. From muscle imbalances to nerve issues or biomechanical concerns, the right diagnosis leads to the right treatment — not just the default one.

✅ Accurate diagnosis
✅ Personalized treatment
✅ Evidence-based care

Don’t guess. Get assessed. Your feet deserve it.

Yesterday we had an emergency call about an injury and although our schedule was packed we always see emergencies when necessary. You’ll never believe it but a panini press fell on this toe and essentially amputated the toenail and caused quite a deep laceration. After a quick local anesthetic we were able to fix it and get this patient on their way with a prescription in hand!

Not All Heel Pain is Plantar Fasciitis!

When it comes to foot pain, especially in the heel, many people quickly assume it’s plantar fasciitis. But did you know there are other possible causes? One of them is Baxter’s Nerve Entrapment, a commonly overlooked condition that can mimic plantar fasciitis but requires a different approach to treatment.

👣 Why See A Podiatric Medical Specialist?
A foot specialist can accurately diagnose the cause of your pain, whether it’s plantar fasciitis, Baxter’s nerve entrapment, or something else entirely. Getting the right diagnosis is the key to finding the right solution and long-term relief.

✅ Don’t guess.
✅ Don’t delay.
✅ Get expert care.

Your feet will thank you! 🙌

Happy Canada Day from A Step Ahead Foot Clinic.

Today, we celebrate the incredible beauty, spirit, and diversity of our nation. Being Canadian means more than geography — it means kindness, resilience, inclusivity, and deep respect for the land and all who call it home.

Some of the best things about being Canadian:
• We are proud to live on the traditional lands of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples whose cultures, knowledge, and stewardship have shaped this land for thousands of years.
• We cherish universal healthcare, world-class education, and peaceful cities.
• We lead with compassion — at home and globally — through peacekeeping, humanitarian aid, and commitment to human rights.
• We are innovators, from the discovery of insulin to the Canadarm to leadership in clean energy and technology.
• We are a mosaic of cultures, languages, and traditions, united in diversity.

On this Canada Day, we recognize both the celebrations and the continued work towards reconciliation, equity, and a better future for everyone. We are not broken.

Let’s celebrate the beauty, the people, and the potential of Canada — together. Elbows Up Canada.

Struggling with stubborn plantar warts? There’s hope!
Faulkner’s Dry Needling Technique – a game-changer for treating those persistent warts that just won’t budge.
What is it? It’s a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates your body’s immune response by repeatedly puncturing the wart with a fine needle, encouraging your system to fight off the virus from the inside out.

Why try it? It’s an effective treatment for chronic, treatment-resistant plantar warts. It’s a quick in-office procedure, and targets the root cause, not just the surface

If traditional treatments like freezing or salicylic acid haven’t worked for you, this might be your solution. Talk to us today about whether Faulkner’s Dry Needling is right for you!
