Sue Turner, D.P.M
I am a podiatrist (foot doctor) based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Since 1991 I have had the privilege of treating people and their foot problems - I've seen over 18,000 pair. Wow, that is a lot of feet, and a lot of people attached to those feet! I love every challenge that comes my way and have a keen interest in attempting to solve what appear to be unsolvable problems for people. Sometimes people come in limping and they leap away!

Sometimes the reason for a foot problem is very clear - wearing the wrong shoes, walking too much, gaining weight - these things can be dealt with and the problem may respond directly. Sometimes the reason is elusive. We can't find a logical explanation. There is no arthritis, infection, fracture or other medical diagnosis to explain a pain that has developed. It's just there and it won't go away. You've tried resting it, icing it, massaging it; you've seen your doctor, physio, podiatrist and it's been x-rayed; your orthotics have been updated....... it's still there. You've had to give up your favourite pastime. How could this possibly be good for you? Often when the pain goes away, we find out why it came in the first place. Sometimes we may simply develop a deeper appreciation for the priveliged state of being painfree.
