2 Pedorthists available, on-site lab for fabrication, London ON
🇨🇦 owned, female owned and operated As Canadian Certified Pedorthists, C. Ped (C)'s, we specialize in custom made foot orthotics to relieve foot, ankle, knee and hip pain, as well as correcting gait abnormalities. After taking a medical history, assessing the lower limbs both weight bearing and non-weight bearing, we are able to video a person's gait to determine if custom made foot orthotics would be beneficial. We use our unique SOLE Technique to set us apart from other orthotic clinics. We provide stabilization using orthopaedic fundamentals of gait with our carefully layered and engineered technique to build your foot orthotics. We also have the training and capability to do footwear modifications (ie lifts, flares), and custom footwear. We can measure and fit for both Performance-Grade (15-20 mmHg) and Medical-Grade (20-30 and 30-40 mmHg) compression socks to help with your sore, swollen and tired legs. All work is done at our on-site lab. A physician's prescription is required for all custom made foot orthotics.

With only a few months left in the year, and the temperatures starting to drop, it is time for me to order new compression socks! If you currently wear compression socks, it is a great time to think about if it is time to replace them.

Over time, the compression socks tend to lose some of their elasticity. I wear compression daily to work. With wearing and washing mine every week, I know it is time to replace them after a few key things happen. Here are a few signs it might be time to replace your compression stockings:
🧦 They start to feel loose or sliding down throughout the day
🦵 My legs are still feeling tired after wearing them
🧦 I start to notice holes or runs in them
🦵 Large changes in weight or swelling so the socks don't fit as well anymore

Compression socks are great for those who do a lot of sitting or standing at their job. They are also recommended for anyone who is experiencing heaviness, aches, or swelling in their lower legs/ankles or has painful vericose veins.

Medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a condition that affects the inner compartment of the knee. It occurs when the cartilage that cushions the joint gradually wears down, which can lead to pain, instability and limited movement.

If you have medial knee OA, you may experience pain along the inside of your knee, particularly when walking, standing for long periods, using stairs or participating in activities.

Typically, you may experience some of the following symptoms:

🦵 Pain on the inside of the knee
🦵 Stiffness and reduced range of motion
🦵 Swelling around the knee
🦵 A feeling of instability or weakness
🦵 Pain that becomes worse with activity
🦵 Clicking, grinding or catching in the knee

The way your feet and ankles move can also affect the forces travelling up your leg to your knee. Abnormal foot and ankle biomechanics may contribute to increased loading through the inner compartment of the knee.

This is where custom orthotics may help! 👣

Custom orthotics can be designed to address abnormal foot and ankle biomechanics that may be contributing to stress on the knee. For people with medial knee OA, custom orthotics with a lateral (outside) wedge may help reduce the load placed on the inner part of the knee.

Every person—and every knee—is different. An assessment with one of our pedorthists can help determine how your feet, ankles and lower-limb biomechanics may be affecting your knee and whether custom orthotics may be appropriate for you.

Have a question about knee OA or wondering if custom orthotics could help? Let us know!

Pumpkin spice and everything nice 🎃 (including the smell of your feet 🦶)

It is "pumpkin spice" season and we are seeing everyone jumping on the trend, so naturally we thought we should too! Pumpkin is actually jam-packed with natural enzymes to help exfoliate dry feet. It is also loaded with many vitamin to help nourish and hydrate the skin.

Here is a simple DIY foot scrub you can create at home for a relaxing "spa night" for you or your friends!
🍂 1/2 cup of cooked, pureed pumpkin
🍂 Handful of raw pumpkin seeds
🍂1/2 cup brown sugar
🍂 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
🍂 1 tbsp ground nutmeg
🍂 1 tbsp coconut oil
🍂 1 tbsp honey

Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Once the scrub is ready, scoop out enough mix to cover both feet and place in a small bowl. Scrub the feet with the mixture, especially on rough patches. Rinse with warm water and dry feet (make sure to get between the toes!). Any unused scrub can be refrigerator for 3-4 days.

Absolutely. I’d keep the same structure as your Morton’s neuroma post, but incorporate the key points from the graphic—especially outer knee compartment, pain/instability, limited motion, and the role of foot/ankle biomechanics and excessive pronation.

Lateral knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a condition that affects the outer compartment of the knee. It occurs when the cartilage that cushions the joint gradually wears down, which can lead to pain, instability and limited movement.

If you have lateral knee OA, you may experience pain on the outside of your knee, particularly when walking, standing for long periods, using stairs or participating in activities.

Typically, you may experience some of the following symptoms:

🦵 Pain on the outside of the knee
🦵 Stiffness and reduced range of motion
🦵 Swelling around the knee
🦵 A feeling of instability or weakness
🦵 Pain that becomes worse with activity
🦵 Clicking, grinding or catching in the knee

The way your feet and ankles move can also affect the forces travelling up your leg to your knee. Excessive pronation, or collapsing of the arch, may contribute to abnormal biomechanics that can aggravate knee symptoms.

This is where custom orthotics may help! 👣

Custom orthotics can be designed to address abnormal foot and ankle biomechanics that may be contributing to stress on the knee. By helping to improve how your foot functions while you walk, orthotics may help reduce some of the forces contributing to lateral knee OA symptoms.

Every person, and every knee is different. An assessment with one of our pedorthists can help determine how your feet, ankles and lower-limb biomechanics may be affecting your knee.

Why should you get custom-made orthotics???

There are lots of options for insoles that are on the market. Whether it be off the shelf, customizable, or custom-made orthotics we know this can be confusing 🤔 You may wonder what is the difference and why is custom-made orthotics preferred for certain feet?

Last year, we had a client come in that had purchased an insole from another provider. This insole was not working and the pain kept coming back. So, this person decided to try custom orthotics.

As you can see from the photos, the insole they had purchased elsewhere (bottom photo) was not supporting the foot properly. When comparing it to the custom-made orthotic (top photo) you can see the orthotic is made for the foot, giving this person the support they required.
Sometimes these insoles can give the foot enough support, but depending on the foot and the issues you are experiencing custom-made may be the way to go!

If you are unsure if you could benefit from a custom-made orthotic or an off the shelf insole, feel free to contact us!

A torn meniscus is one of the most common knee injuries 🦵

Each of your knees has two C-shaped pieces of cartilage that act like a cushion between your shinbone and your thighbone. A torn meniscus causes pain, swelling and stiffness. You also might feel a block to knee motion and have trouble extending your knee fully.

🔹Symptoms: May include a popping sensation, swelling or stiffness, pain (especially when twisting or rotating your knee), difficulty straightening your knee fully, feeling as though your knee is locked in place when you try to move it, feeling of your knee giving way
🔹Risks: Any activity that causes you to forcefully twist or rotate your knee, especially when putting your full weight on it, can lead to a torn meniscus.
🔹Treatment: Conservative treatment — such as rest, ice and medication — is sometimes enough to relieve the pain of a torn meniscus and give the injury time to heal on its own. In other cases, however, a torn meniscus requires surgery.
