Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are precision-crafted insoles designed to correct foot imbalances, alleviate pain, and improve posture. At Care-Med, our chiropodists use advanced 3D scanning and casting techniques to create tailored solutions for conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and knee pain. These devices redistribute pressure, enhance stability, and support long-term musculoskeletal health. Ideal for daily wear, sports, or specialized footwear, our orthotics are made from durable materials to ensure lasting comfort and functionality.
Compression Garments
Compression garments apply controlled pressure to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and manage conditions like lymphedema or varicose veins. Care-Med offers personalized fittings for stockings, sleeves, and braces tailored to individual body shapes and medical needs. Our specialists ensure proper sizing and material selection to balance therapeutic effectiveness with daily wearability, supporting patients in maintaining mobility and comfort during recovery or chronic condition management.
Chiropodist Services
Our certified chiropodists provide comprehensive foot assessments and treatments for pain, injuries, and chronic conditions. Services include gait analysis, diabetic foot care, and custom footwear prescriptions. By addressing biomechanical imbalances and offering targeted interventions like orthotics, we help patients restore function, prevent complications, and maintain active lifestyles through evidence-based, patient-centered care.
Body Braces
Body braces offer targeted support for joints and muscles affected by injury, arthritis, or post-surgical recovery. Care-Med supplies custom-fitted back, knee, shoulder, and elbow braces that stabilize weakened areas, reduce pain, and promote healing. These devices are engineered to enhance mobility while preventing further strain, enabling clients to perform daily activities with greater ease and confidence under professional guidance.
Compression Pump Therapy
Compression pump therapy uses intermittent pneumatic compression to manage lymphedema and chronic swelling. Care-Meds devices deliver sequential pressure to stimulate lymphatic drainage, reducing fluid buildup and improving circulation. This non-invasive treatment complements manual therapy and compression garments, offering home-use convenience for long-term symptom management and enhanced quality of life for patients with lymphatic disorders.

Questions
Are custom orthotics covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover custom orthotics with a prescription. Care-Med provides documentation for reimbursement and works with major providers like ADP and ODSP.
How do compression garments improve circulation?
Compression garments apply gentle pressure to veins, enhancing blood flow and reducing swelling. This prevents fluid buildup and supports conditions like varicose veins or lymphedema.
Can children use orthotics or body braces?
Yes, pediatric orthotics and braces are available for developmental or injury-related needs. Care-Med’s specialists assess each case to ensure safe, effective solutions.
What is compression pump therapy used for?
Compression pump therapy manages lymphedema and chronic swelling by simulating muscle contractions to move excess fluid, improving circulation and reducing discomfort.
How long do custom orthotics last?
With proper care, custom orthotics typically last 1–5 years, depending on usage and materials. Care-Med offers adjustments and replacements to maintain optimal support.
Do I need a referral for chiropodist services?
No referral is required. Patients can book directly for foot assessments, orthotics, or diabetic care with Care-Med’s certified chiropodists.
