how it works
Chiropodist-Led Care — What That Means for You
Registered Chiropodists are provincially regulated health professionals in Ontario with full clinical scope of practice for the assessment and treatment of foot and lower limb conditions. Unlike pedorthists — who focus on footwear and orthotics — Registered Chiropodists are authorized to prescribe medications, administer injections, and perform minor surgical procedures. Tread Well's foot clinic is led entirely by Registered Chiropodists, giving our patients access to the broadest range of
foot care options at a single address in Burlington.
Our Process for Custom Orthotics
We hold direct retail accounts with ASICS, New Balance, and Birkenstock. If you need a specific model — tennis, golf, casual, or kids — we order it directly from the brand and have it ready for your next appointment.
Patients who purchase footwear no longer need to guess whether a shoe will accommodate their orthotic.
Initial Assessment (30 minutes)
Your first appointment includes a full foot assessment and biomechanical evaluation. Your practitioner will observe your gait and, in most cases, record a video of how you walk to keep on file for your care plan.
3D Digital Scanning
For most patients, a 3D digital scan of your foot is taken in a dedicated scanning room — approximately 5 minutes — producing a precise digital model used to fabricate your custom device. For patients with specific foot conditions or when an ankle-height device is needed, a plaster cast is used instead.
Orthotic Fabrication
Your custom orthotics are fabricated based on your scan and your practitioner's prescription. Turnaround is typically 3–4 weeks.
Fitting Appointment
Your practitioner fits the orthotics into your shoes with you present and walks you through the break-in process.
Follow-Up Included
A follow-up appointment is automatically booked at fitting. All follow-up visits needed to ensure your orthotics are performing as intended are included in the initial fee.
We direct-bill all major insurance providers.
Including Sun Life, Canada Life, Manulife, and ClaimSecure.
About us
Foot Care Connected to Full Rehabilitation
Tread Well's Foot Clinic shares a building with Tread Well Rehab & Recovery — our physiotherapy, chiropractic, and massage therapy team. If your chiropodist identifies a contributing knee, hip, or back issue during your assessment, you can be referred directly to our rehab practitioners at the same address. No separate intake, no additional travel, no starting over with a new clinic that doesn't know your history.
Looking for Sport-Specific Orthotics?
We fabricate orthotics for hockey skates, ski boots, cycling shoes, and other performance footwear. We scan the interior of the device your orthotic will go into to ensure a precise fit, and select materials matched to the mechanical demands of your sport — for example, rigid, lightweight materials for hockey skates that preserve the responsiveness of the skate.
