All our professionals at Simcoe Foot Clinic maintain the highest levels of accreditation and pursue ongoing education to stay up-to-date on the latest trends in podiatry.

Simcoe Foot Clinic's practitioners are chiropodists. Chiropodists and podiatrists are the only regulated foot specialists in Ontario and are the only regulated health professionals in Ontario whose legislated scope of practice includes the provision of orthotics. The present scope of practice for chiropodists in Ontario is the following:

"The practice of chiropody is the assessment of the foot and the treatment and prevention of diseases, disorder or dysfuntions of the foot by therapeutic, orthotic or palliative means."
The Chiropody Act, 1991 S.O. 1991, Chapater 20, s.4.

"In the course of engaging in the practice of chiropody, a member is authorized, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations imposed on his or her certificate of registration, to perform the following:

1. Cutting into the subcutaneous tissues of the foot.
2. Administering, by injection into feet, a substance designated in the regulations.
