Exciting News! – Addition of Pedorthic Services to PNHC

by

We are excited to welcome Danielle Molnar C. PED (C) to the PNHC team! Danielle is a Canadian Certified Pedorthist with over 25 years experience in orthopedics! She specializes in hand crafted custom made orthotics, lower limb bracing, orthopedic footwear including footwear modifications and compression stockings. Her professionalism, excellent clinical skills, and insights into patient’s ailments are just a few of Danielle’s strong attributes.

Many of you may be wondering what a pedorthist can do to help you with your health care goals. Danielle is able to provide a pedorthic assessment and give various lifestyle recommendations based on her findings. She may recommend and custom – make such medical devices as orthotics , bracing, and footwear modification (see below for more details).

Pedorthic services can be beneficial for anyone with lower limb pain, or anyone feeling their gait could be improved. Such conditions that could benefit from pedorthic services might include foot pain, knee pain, achilles tendonitis, athlete’s foot, diabetes, plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, arthritis, bunions/claw/hammer toes, or Morton’s Neuroma.

To book an appointment with Danielle to see if orthotics, bracing, or other footwear modifications are right for you, simply contact the clinic at 226-232-7665 and we will book you in for your initial appointment!

Pedorthic Services

Pedorthic Assessment
During a visit with our Pedorthists, we will conduct a comprehensive range of motion and video gait
assessment, as well as electronically record your gait (a person’s manner of walking) to illustrate our
findings to you. We will develop a treatment plan based on your needs and lifestyle requirements.

Orthotics
Both customized and custom-made orthotics enable the feet to be supported in a more stable position in order to help correct imbalances and reduce stress and strain on the rest of your body. Over time, the use of orthotics may give you relief from both pain and fatigue – so you can once again enjoy your favorite activities.

Bracing
A Brace is a rigid and semi-rigid device which is used for the purpose of supporting a weak or deformed body member or restricting or eliminating motion in a disease or injured part of the body. We will work with you to determine what type of brace is required based on our assessment and your physician’s diagnosis.

Footwear modifications
Footwear modifications are adaptations made to a shoe(s) to improve foot function and/or
accommodate specific pathologies. Although footwear has come a long way in terms of offering
orthopedic or therapeutic features without affecting style, sometimes the shoe may need to be
modified to be accommodating to your lifestyle.

The release of my new book! It is . . .

by

At the beginning of this year I had set out to complete my book, and I am happy to say that I have accomplished that goal! My book is titled:

“The Ultimate Guide to the Elimination Diet: Tips and Recipes to Better Your Health and Approach the Diet with Confidence”.

Many of my patients have heard about the elimination diet, but not everyone is familiar with it, and so, let me shed some light on it. The elimination diet is a treatment option that helps individuals that are suffering from many different health concerns including

  • Pain
  • Anxiety 
  • Inability to lose weight 
  • Fatigue
  • Stress 
  • Arthritis 
  • Muscle Pain 
  • IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) 
  • Constipation/Diarrhea
  • Brain Fog 

and the list goes on! That means if you want to lose weight, reduce pain, think clearer, and feel better overall, this diet may be right for you. The elimination diet is a way for individuals to identify which foods may be contributing to their health concerns, but also helps individuals to adopt more of a whole – foods diet.

Though this may sound simple enough, the diet is quite complex, complicated, and challenging. Many individuals struggle to follow it or incorporate it into their lifestyle even for a short time. I wrote this guide (and recipe) book as a way to help individuals overcome the hurdles of the diet. In the book, I have outlined meal plans, tips and tricks, many recipes for each meal (and sauces and dips!), and ultimately set out to help eliminate many of the struggles that individuals tend to encounter with the diet. I have based the book off of my clinical experience as well as my personal one. I was prescribed the elimination diet years prior by my ND before I became an ND and it was a struggle. I was miserable throughout it and could not figure out what I should eat. My diet was boring and basic, but I did complete it and I did learn a lot from the experience. I also learned my food sensitivities and improved my overall state of health from it. Following the experience, I set out to help others through the diet on their way to better their health. I have seen many individuals completely change their lives through this diet, and you can too!

If you have any one of the health concerns mentioned above and want to better your health, the elimination diet may be a treatment to consider. As I mention in the book, this diet is not for everyone or appropriate for everyone, and so, it is best to complete this diet with the supervision of a Naturopathic Doctor such as myself. If you are ready for change, send me an email or call our office (519-537-7058) to see if this is a good path for you to pursue. I offer complimentary 15 minute meet-and-greet sessions where you can meet me, ask your questions, and decide from there if you would like to see me or not (i.e. there is no obligation to book). You have nothing to lose by booking this session. Now is the time to take care of you.

In regards to my book, if you are interested in purchasing your copy, send me an email, call the clinic, or contact me through the Facebook page and I will gladly get you set up. In addition, I am offering the book as part of a package deal for those who may want to pursue food sensitivity testing. Both prices are outlined below.

  • The Ultimate Guide to the Elimination Diet: Tips and Recipes to Better Your Health and Approach the Diet with Confidence – $20 +HST per book (Total $22.60)
  • Blood Testing and Book Package (only available from August 1- August 30 2017) – get the food sensitivity testing (approximately $260 plus the book for an additional $15) (Total: Approximately $273)

If you have any questions about this treatment option, food sensitivity testing, or simply about how you can feel better today, do not hesitate to email me, message me, or contact our clinic and book your complimentary 15 minute meet-and-greet session today!
