By Adrian Harte .Editor EXETER - North Americans don't lake care of their feet the way other cultures have become accus- tomed to. if we did, Bob Carroll figures he would have fewer prob- lems in his work. Carroll is a chiropodist who set up his practice in London, but is fa- miliar to people in the Exeter area with his visits to patients in Huron County. Included in his rounds is a foot care clinic at Braemor Manor in Exeter every six weeks for the clients there. Chiropody, may be a fairly new term for some Canadians, who are more familiar with podiatrists as being foot care specialists. But as the province phases out podiatry in slew fisipert favour of chiropodists, people will become more familiar with ydte tern'. "Chiropodists will be the foot care professionals in the province," said Carroll, pointing out that as of July, podiatrists, who are all trained in the United States, are no longer allowed to set up practices in Onta- rio. Chiropodists have their own 'col- lege for. training in Toronto, which also serves as a regulatory body for the growing profession. Unlike po- diatrists, chiropodists do not per- forin major foot surgery and can only -request x-rays through a doc- tor. But they do provide assess- ment and treatment of foot disor- ders, fit orthotic devices, prescribe and administer drugs, treat ingrown nails, and perform certain soft tis - *sue surgeries. The main problem, as Carroll sees .it, is that many people are suf- fering -with foot problems, but are hiding them in their shoes until it eventual i y becomes unbearable. "Don't fix it until it hurts, and if it hurts, they want it fixed last week, said Carroll of an attitude he often encounters. Many serious corn and callous problems could have been prevented. In tact, he says he'd like to see every 18 year old get a foot check up, and if there are no prob- lems, some advice could help prob- lems later in life. "For some reason people think -feet area long way from the brain, and consequently aren't thought - of,' 11e said. Actually, because of the types of skin on the feet, and the huge amount of stress -they endure every day, Carroll says feet can expose nutritional problems earlier than other body parts. Even other aches and pains in other limbs can some- times be traced back to biomechan- ical difficulties with walking. "Feet are very much connected to the rest of the body," said Carroll. "The .way nails grow may indicate a systemic difficulty," he added, suggesting they might mean iron deficiencies. In such cases fie re- fers patients to their doctors. As physicians discover .the need for certain foot care treatments, more and more patients are being referred to chiropodists. "We're very much a complement to their practice and their profes- sion," he said, adding .that while OHIP only covers certain chiropo- dy treatments, health insurance plans often cover thexest. Carroll put himself through chi- ropody school after spending 10 years as a railroad engineer. He NVESTM ENTS GIC/RSP 1 -Yr. - 4.60% 3 Yr. - 5.50% 5Yr. -6.25% says his appreciation of his feet has changed considerably since then. "I wore desert boots when I went ' ` to school...but when I learned about --proper fitthere's m- way I will wear anything other- that a good shoe,' -mid Carroll. "Oeez, mom and dad were right. I should wear good shoes." Carroll doesn't mind offering a bit of free advice. Babies, he said, might look cute in little white boot- ies, but the little running shoes arc much better for foot growth. "Even with sleepers with the little feet in them, cut the toes out," he advises. What about a nice foot bath after a long-day on your feet? "A lot of people soak their feet. That's not a good idea," he said, pointing out the skin on your feet doesn't benefit from having its bal- anced upset. Before buying a foot :bath, get advice, and even then use it for no more than 15 minutes, he raid. "A lot of home -remedies and Thome cures aren't recommended," the said. Even corn pads are highly corrosive to healthy skin. Carroll, whose car Wears license plates reading "YR FEET", said he underestimated the chiropody pro- gram when starting his education. "Three years to learn how to cut nails and callous? That's not right," he said he first thought of the pro- gram, before he understood it in- cluded a regimen of pharmacology, anatomy :and other subjects. "There's a heck of a lot more than I realized." Indeed, as Carroll describes it, .there is more to taking care of our own feet than most of ._us realize. Missionry woi* documented in new Iibrary hook EXETER - The life experienc- es of a missionary family that once lived in Usborne Township are documented in a newly ac- quired book available at the Ex- eter -Public Library.
