Step Ahead Podiatry Is Committed To Helping You Gain The Freedom To Walk Pain Free Again...
1. What types of foot and ankle conditions are treated at the Central Edmonton Foot Clinic?
The clinic treats a wide range of medical and biomechanical foot conditions including heel pain (plantar fasciitis), bunions, ingrown toenails, fungal nail infections, flat feet, arthritis-related foot pain, and sports injuries. Patients also receive care for chronic conditions like diabetic foot complications and nerve-related pain. The goal is not just symptom relief but long-term mobility improvement.
2. Do I need a referral to book an appointment at the Central Edmonton location?
No referral is required. Patients can directly book an appointment with a podiatrist. This allows faster access to diagnosis and treatment, especially for conditions like acute foot pain, infections, or mobility issues that require prompt attention.
3. What happens during a first visit at the clinic?
A first appointment typically includes a full medical history review, gait and posture assessment, physical examination of the feet and lower limbs, and sometimes imaging or pressure analysis if required. After diagnosis, the podiatrist creates a personalized treatment plan which may include orthotics, medication, minor procedures, or physical therapy options.
4. Does the clinic provide custom orthotics and how do they help?
Yes, custom orthotics are a major service at this location. They are specially designed shoe inserts created from biomechanical assessments and foot impressions or scans. Orthotics help correct alignment issues, reduce pressure on painful areas, improve walking mechanics, and prevent recurring injuries such as plantar fasciitis or shin splints.
5. Can ingrown toenails be treated without surgery?
Yes, mild to moderate ingrown toenails can often be treated conservatively through proper nail care, lifting techniques, or partial nail removal under local anesthesia. In more severe or recurring cases, a minor in-office procedure may be recommended to permanently correct the nail growth pattern.
6. Is diabetic foot care available at this clinic?
Yes, diabetic foot care is a key service. It includes regular foot assessments, nerve and circulation checks, ulcer prevention, wound care, and education on foot hygiene. Early detection is critical in preventing serious complications such as infections or foot ulcers.
7. What treatment options are available for heel pain or plantar fasciitis?
Treatment options may include stretching programs, custom orthotics, anti-inflammatory therapy, footwear advice, shockwave therapy, and in some cases corticosteroid injections. The treatment plan is tailored depending on severity and duration of symptoms.
8. Does the clinic treat children’s foot problems?
Yes, pediatric podiatry services are available. Common issues include flat feet, in-toeing or out-toeing gait, heel pain from growth-related conditions, and walking abnormalities. Early assessment helps ensure proper foot development and prevents long-term complications.
9. Is shockwave therapy offered and what is it used for?
Yes, shockwave therapy is available for chronic musculoskeletal foot conditions. It uses sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. It is commonly used for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon pain, and other long-standing soft tissue injuries that have not responded to conservative treatment.
10. How do I book or reschedule an appointment?
Appointments can typically be booked by phone or through the clinic’s online booking system. If you need to reschedule, it is best to notify the clinic in advance so your slot can be offered to another patient and your care timeline can be adjusted smoothly.
