What is a Certified Pedorthist?
A Certified Pedorthist (C.Ped, BOCPD or C.Ped (C)) is a trained healthcare professional who assesses and treats individuals with conditions related to the foot and lower limb. Pedorthists can help treat these problems conservatively (non-surgically) by providing orthotics, and/or orthopedic footwear and footwear modifications as part of an overall treatment regimen as prescribed by your doctor.
​
Certified Pedorthist:
a) complete in-depth training and must successfully complete a certification exam
b) are held accountable to a code of ethics
c) operate within the standards of practice
d) require on-going educational training
Pedorthists who are not certified do not practice under such regulations.​​
Custom-made Orthotics
Custom-made orthotics are medical devices that support and gently reposition the heel, arch, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bones in the feet, enabling these structures to work together as nature intended, to make each step you take pain-free.
Unlike shoe inserts bought over the counter, custom-made orthotics are built from molds of your feet to meet your unique needs. They’re typically made with comfortable thermoplastic materials, which are guaranteed to last for years, and can be designed to fit in dress shoes, athletic shoes, boots, and skates.
