Our team of highly trained Canadian Certified Pedorthists will provide you with a comprehensive assessment to determine what the best course of action is for you. This might include custom orthotics, footwear, modifications to your shoes, or even custom-made footwear.
Custom, Handmade, Local Service
We handcraft our custom orthotics from your profile. We consider who you are, what you need, what measurements we take, and the cast of your feet. Our technical staff will collaborate with your personal Pedorthist to guarantee that your orthotics are made to give you the best possible outcome. Best of all, we offer adjustments and modifications to your orthotics, and can even completely rebuild old pairs.
We offer custom-made and prefabricated braces for the lower limbs, toe splints, sports and diabetic stockings, compression stockings, and wellness products to help you achieve the highest level of foot health.
Who We Are
At Thera-Ped Foot & Ankle Clinic, we pride ourselves on being a busy Pedorthic clinic with a network of independent associates who are as passionate as we are about posture and Orthopaedic care. Our mission is to provide our clients with the highest quality retail and custom-made footwear, orthotics, and other products that will help them achieve and maintain optimal posture and foot health.
At our facility, we provide custom-made foot orthotics, footwear, and footwear modifications such as lifts, wedges, flares, rocker soles and upper modifications, as well as custom toe spacers. We also dispense high-quality retail orthopedic and comfort footwear, over-the-counter foot and ankle braces, and specialty stockings such as compression, diabetic and sports stockings.
