Sock Spotlight:

TheraRX designed these socks specifically to help with PLANTAR FASCIITIS! Now, as a foot nurse, we don’t diagnose… but when you say you have heel pain, these are our go to suggestions until you’re able to get in with your GP to get it sorted.

These have additional cushioning in the heel, and have a compressive band through the arch to provide a layer of support for off-loading the stressed out plantar fascia bands.

Sizes are S/M or L/XL and come in a 3-pack (purple, yellow pink OR blue, orange, grey).

Check us out Tuesdays 12-3 for walk-in questions and shopping or add these to your next foot care appointment!

PLEASE NOTE: the coverage provided by Alberta Blue Cross includes $200/year of home nursing services. This is accessible for foot care coverage when provided by a licensed foot nurse, provided you have not already used this benefit for another home nursing service.

📣 Effective immediately: all appointments will require a credit card to book. Due to a recent influx of late cancellations and no-shows Northern Health Advanced Foot Care has made the difficult decision to enforce our already existent cancellation policy.

At this point, we are fully booked until mid-September. We have a list of clients waiting to get in sooner. No-shows are not only taking advantage of the practitioners time, they’re also taking time away that another client could have benefited. While we provide health care services, please remember that we are also a small business.

Since our opening, we have implemented a multi-tiered reminder system to assist clients in making their appointment times. Upon booking you receive your booking notification by email, then receive an email 24 hours before your appointment, and a text reminder 2 hours before your appointment. If you are not receiving these, please sign in to your online account and/or ask at your next appointment.

MOST importantly, our foot care nurse has a mean shopping streak… when left with spare time, she costs the company even more than a missed appointment fee. Shout out to Jenny, next door at The Shop Boutique + Coffee for always having a warm tea and a cute outfit to cheer us up! Also, 👏🏼 huge sale on all their Summer stock! Check them out and support another small business in Whitecourt.

Hot tip from SOLE: heat mold your insoles for the activity you’re purchasing them for!

$80: In-clinic fittings and heat molding involve product picking, sizing, shaping, heating, and molding insoles to the shoes you bring to the clinic. This option is suggested for those using the insoles for walking, running, and standing for long periods of time.

$65: we help find the right size, and you take it from there! If you’re purchasing for a specific activity such as cycling, skating, climbing (etc), where your feet are in a different position than heel-to-toe walking, then this is the option for you! Detailed instructions are on the box (TWICE - a thorough explanation, and than a simplified version with pictures).

NOTE: if you have diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, active wounds, corns or calluses, in-clinic molding is MANDATORY for purchase (due to the high risk nature of these conditions and potential for injury with improper heating).
