V Visit a Chiropodist h d Foot problems? You're not alone J. Richard Werkman, Chiropodist Did you know that foot problems affect over half the population? Taking care of your feet is important to your general well-being. J. Richard Werkman knows this better than anyone. Rick is a Registered Chiropodist, who recently opened a new practice in his hometown of f Oakville, at 1495 Cornwall Road, Suite 33.

Chiropodists are regulated health care providers trained in overall foot health and biomechanical/orthotic assessments. In addition to treating everyday foot needs, Chiropodists also assess structural abnormalities in the foot to determine the need for a custom orthotic device, orthopedic footwear or bracing. These deformities are not uncommon in those presenting with foot, hip and lower back pain. Who knew hip or lower back pain might be associated with the foot? When the foot cannot function normally during gait, the body must compensate in other ways to achieve locomotion, often resulting in painful symptoms. It is through the use of custom orthotics that pain might be reduced or alleviated. But wait! There's more to a custom orthotic than meets the eye (or should we say foot). The knowledge and training of the individual treating you is directly related to the success of your treatment. That's why Rick and Vicki recommend that you see a member of the College of Chiropodists of Ontario for your foot health and orthotic needs. Learn more about orthotics by requesting a copy of "What You Need to Know About Orthotics". Background: Rick graduated at the top of his class in 1991 from the Michener Institute for Applied Health Sciences. He is a member of the College of Chiropodists of Ontario and is certified in local anesthesia and nail surgery. Rick added to his degree through a Bachelor of f Science Podiatric Medicine Program, where he studied research methods, with electives concentrating in the areas of podogerontology (study of senior's feet), podopharmacology (study of foot-related medications) and sports medicine.
