A Pedorthist Can Help!

Pedorthists are one of very few health practitioners who are trained in the assessment and fabrication of the service they provide.

The overall shape of our feet, how they interact with the ground beneath them, plays a crucial role in overall foot health. This can possibly be felt in our feet, legs, knees, hips and spine while walking or during regular daily activities. When issues occur from our individual foot traits, the results are truly unique for each person experiencing symptoms.

Menzies Foot Orthotics & Footwear Inc. specializes in the manufacturing/design of custom-made foot orthotics, footwear assessments/fittings, and gait analysis. We evaluate the function of your feet to design and fabricate custom-made foot orthotics to ensure the best outcome for you.

Get Custom Relief.

During an evaluation with our certified Pedorthist, you will receive a complete and thorough assessment to determine a foot orthotic treatment plan. We’ll explore your options regarding the design through a tailored custom solution to meet your needs.

Help Is an Appointment Away.

Our custom-made foot orthotics are fabricated in house, by our Pedorthist at Menzies Foot Orthotics & Footwear Inc. Our Pedorthist completes both your assessment and fabrication of your custom-made foot orthotics.

Our History

Menzies Foot Orthotics & Footwear Inc. was established on the 1st of January, 2020. Purchased by former employee David Roth C.Ped of A.R. Menzies & Sons Ltd. David was presented with the option to purchase a portion of the company from the owners at that time, Allan Menzies and Bridget Menzies. The choice was easy, knowing a good percentage of the patrons already and having been employed with A.R. Menzies & Sons Ltd. since 2007.

Continuing History

We provide these services in an honest and professional manner. We are forever grateful to the Menzies family who have allowed us to continue a portion of what they started so many years ago!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Certified Pedorthist?

A Certified Pedorthist is a health professional who has trained and studied in helping manage painful issues related to feet. This skill set includes fitting, fabricating, adjusting or modifying orthotic devices that reflect the level of education and training received.

What is required to schedule an assessment appointment?

A doctor’s prescription is required to book an assessment.

Sometimes a medical doctor will have a detailed treatment plan for you in mind. They can also leave a treatment plan to the discretion of the Pedorthist.

Please be sure to check with your insurance provider for required prescription details (ie: what is being prescribed and why). You will also need to inquire as to how often you are covered by your plan for foot orthotics (ie: once every year, once every two years, etc.).

What are foot orthotics?

Foot orthotics are a custom made medical device that are removeable from footwear and designed to help relieve foot pain or lower limb discomfort.

Will I need bigger shoes to wear foot orthotics?

As long as your shoes fit you properly, have a removeable footbed and are made of good quality construction (not too flexible), the above criteria will assist in a successful fit of your foot orthotics.

What about footwear?

Footwear is a very important part of our foot health. Footwear that lacks support or doesn’t fit properly (ie: too short or too narrow) can cause or increase foot pain and discomfort. Feet lengthen and broaden naturally throughout adulthood as we lose the elasticity in our connective tissues. Most often a lace up or velcro closure shoe is best, as they provide the most secure fit.

What are the most common ailments that are treated with foot orthotics?

  • Heel pain
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Heel spurs
  • Metatarsalgia (ball of foot pain)
  • Morton’s foot
  • Bunions
  • Hallux abducto valgus
  • Hallux limitus and rigidus
  • Calluses
  • Neuroma
  • Arch pain

When did Pedorthics begin to be recognized in North America?

In 1948 the American Board for Certification in Prosthetics, Orthotics and Pedorthics was established. It wasn’t until 1990 that Canada had their first designated credentials for Pedorthists, followed by the second in 2014.

How do I care for my custom foot orthotics?

The materials used are primarily made of heat moldable materials. Exposure to anything warm/hot like woodstoves, hair dryers or electric baseboard heaters can be damaging. Allow foot orthotics to air dry naturally to avoid any mishaps. Keeping them out of your pets reach is recommended.
