Ontario Premier's Message

World Foot Health Awareness Month

May is World Foot Health Awareness Month, a powerful reminder that our feet, often overlooked yet endlessly overworked, deserve care, attention, and gratitude.

About Us

The OPMA is a voluntary professional association established to protect and advance the interests of our members and of the podiatry profession in Ontario. The OPMA represents the podiatry profession and Doctors of Podiatric Medicine/DPMs in Ontario.

The Podiatry Profession

In Ontario, podiatrists are a class of members of the College of Chiropodists of Ontario. To practise as a podiatrist in Ontario, one must hold a "Doctor of Podiatric Medicine/DPM" degree from one of the nine Colleges of Podiatric Medicine in the United States, or from the podiatry program offered by the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières campus.

Public Foot Health Info

Is it a custom Orthotic or not? Let the patient/consumer beware! Real Orthotics are medical appliances that are inserted into the shoes to effect an alteration in the biomechanical functioning of the foot and the pedal posture, that in turn exerts an influence on the ankle, knee, hip and lower back.
