Owned and operated by certified chiropodist Stephen Chu, Comfort Stride Foot Clinic is all about keeping your feet healthy, and helping you stand, walk and function comfortably every day. Caused by HPV (human papilloma virus), plantars warts often appear on the bottoms of your feet, and can be painful and unsightly.
We don't recommend over-the-counter medications because they may damage healthy tissue around the wart and contribute to spreading. We may recommend one of two treatments, depending on the severity of your wart(s). Most common with runners, shin splints (or periostitis) are a painful swelling of the connective tissue that covers the bones.

Services
Our foot care clinics are small, friendly and welcoming - we do everything we can to make you feel comfortable and well cared for. When you come into our Bradford or Scarborough office, we will sit down with you and do a complete examination of your feet, checking the pulse in your feet, skin texture and looking for any deformities.
Comfort Stride is about helping you keep your feet healthy and pain-free. Our Chiropodists offer a wide range of services to help you deal with problems, injuries, deformities and issues stemming from arthritis, diabetes or any other systemic illnesses that cause problems with your feet. Here's a quick overview of the problems we can address and the services we provide.
The profession of chiropody is considered private practice in Ontario, therefore most foot clinics are not covered by OHIP. We operate more like your dentist or physiotherapist; if you have a private or workplace health insurance plan, we can help you determine your specific coverage. Ontario Works and Ontario Disability Support Program recipients may be eligible for orthotics and/or corrective foot wear.
Comfort Stride Foot Clinic has partnered with SP Laser Centre to provide in-house skin rejuvenation procedure using state-of-the-art laser treatment technologies often found in hospitals, Dermatologist and Specialists offices. The clinically proven technology delivers a variety of pulsed light options that can be tailored to your exact skin type needs, minimizing the signs of aging.
If you go to your local shoe store, you may see in-shoe devices referred to as "orthotics", but this is a loosely thrown around term in the retail industry. Orthotics are not all custom and unless you receive one that is designed specifically to the curvature and unique features of your feet, you will not be getting the support you need.
