What Is a Chiropody/Podiatry?

A chiropodist is a regulated foot care professional trained to assess, diagnose, treat, and prevent a wide range of foot and toenail conditions.

Chiropody services may include:

• Nail care
• Corn and callus treatment
• Wart treatment
• Diabetic foot care
• Ingrown toenail treatment
• Foot assessments
• Custom orthotics
• Foot pain management
• Preventative foot care

Professional foot care can help improve comfort, mobility, and overall foot health.

Ingrown Toenail Treatment

Ingrown toenails are one of the most common reasons patients seek chiropody care.

An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, leading to:

• Pain
• Redness
• Swelling
• Tenderness
• Infection

Common causes include:

• Improper nail trimming
• Tight footwear
• Injury
• Genetic nail shape

Our chiropodist can provide safe and effective treatment to relieve pain and help prevent recurrence.

Signs You May Have an Ingrown Toenail

Symptoms may include:

• Pain along the nail edge
• Swelling around the toenail
• Redness
• Tenderness when walking
• Drainage or infection
• Difficulty wearing shoes comfortably

Early treatment often helps prevent more serious complications.

Corn & Callus Treatment

Corns and calluses develop when excessive pressure or friction causes the skin to thicken.

Although they are common, they can become painful and interfere with walking and daily activities.

What Are Corns?

Corns are localized areas of thickened skin that commonly develop:

• On the tops of toes
• Between toes
• Over pressure points

Corns may cause:

• Sharp pain
• Tenderness
• Discomfort when wearing shoes

What Are Calluses?

Calluses are larger areas of thickened skin that commonly develop:

• Under the ball of the foot
• On the heel
• Along pressure-bearing areas

Calluses may cause:

• Foot discomfort
• Cracking
• Dry skin
• Walking pain

Professional treatment safely removes excessive buildup and addresses contributing factors.

Plantar Wart Treatment

Plantar warts are caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) and commonly develop on the bottom of the foot.

They may appear as:

• Small rough growths
• Thickened skin lesions
• Painful spots during walking
• Areas with tiny black dots

Because plantar warts can spread and become painful, professional treatment is often recommended.

Signs of a Plantar Wart

You may have a plantar wart if you experience:

• Pain when walking
• A rough lesion on the sole of the foot
• Localized tenderness
• Thickened skin
• Small black pinpoint spots

Our chiropodist can assess the lesion and recommend appropriate treatment options.

Diabetic Foot Care in North York

Individuals living with diabetes face a higher risk of foot complications due to:

• Reduced circulation

According to Diabetes Canada, regular foot examinations and preventative foot care play an important role in reducing the risk of diabetic foot complications.

Why Diabetic Foot Care Is Important

Even small foot problems can become serious when diabetes affects circulation and sensation.

Professional diabetic foot care may help:

• Identify problems early
• Reduce the risk of ulcers
