If you’ve been searching online for a “podiatrist near me in Toronto”, you’re not alone. Foot pain, ingrown toenails, and arch issues are some of the most common reasons people start looking for foot care professionals downtown.
But here’s something most people don’t know:
In Ontario, chiropodists and podiatrists are both regulated foot specialists — and in fact, the vast majority of foot care providers in the province, including myself, are Registered Chiropodists.
I’m Nav Sekhon, D.Ch, and I’m proud to offer evidence-based foot care at my new clinic — Locke Minor Foot Surgery & Orthotics — now open in Downtown Toronto.
What’s the Difference Between a Chiropodist and a Podiatrist in Ontario?
It’s a common question.
While both are foot care professionals regulated under the College of Chiropodists of Ontario, there are some legal distinctions in title and scope depending on when the practitioner was registered.
However, as a Registered Chiropodist, I provide comprehensive foot care services that include:
-
- Custom Orthotics
-
- Ingrown toenail treatment (including permanent removal)
-
- Heel pain and plantar fasciitis care
-
- Wart, corn, and callus removal
-
- Diabetic foot assessments
-
- Minor foot surgery and soft tissue procedures
So, if you’re searching for a podiatrist near me in Toronto, it’s worth knowing that seeing a chiropodist gives you the same clinical care — without needing a referral.
