About Our Service

We provide inpatient and outpatient pedorthotic services for people who have a variety of foot conditions. Our team of health professionals will assess, modify and fit footwear and foot orthoses (insoles) to meet our client’s needs.

How to Access Our Srvice

To obtain a new device, it is required to obtain a written referral from a health professional, general practitioner or specialist doctor. The original or a copy of the referral can be forwarded directly to our department. The Pedorthist is part of our outpatient clinic services teams at the Nova Scotia Rehabilitation Centre site and the vascular surgery / leg ulcer clinic located at the Halifax Infirmary site of the Capital Health.

If an existing device is in need of repair, clients can self refer (no need for a written referral from a doctor). Please contact the department’s reception to make an initial report.

The costs of obtaining a footwear device may be covered by:

• Private Insurance
• Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB)
• First Nations, Inuit and Aboriginal Health
• Community Services

Please contact the insurer directly to find out what portion of the device is covered and what portion you will be required to pay.
