OAKVILLE BEAVER Saturday, March 7, 2009 · 12 A Step Beyond In Care SALIMA KASSAM REG. CHIROPODIST OTMH doing telephone survey next week Phones will be ringing in homes across Halton from March 7-14 as Halton Healthcare Services (HHS) launches its public opinion survey in the community. The survey will measure the attitudes and opinions of residents as they relate to the quality of care and services provided at Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital, Milton District Hospital and Georgetown Hospital. The survey will be conducted by Pollara, a national public opinion research firm. Random calls will be made to 900 households beginning March 7. Questions range from asking for preferred choices of hospital, opinion of services at the HHS hospitals and recommendations for improvements to awareness of the HHS website, corporate identity and more. Each call will take approximately 15 minutes. For information, call HHS Public Relations at 905-845-2571, ext. 6788. 728 Burloak Drive 905-632-1414 Q: My child seems to walk funny - I see no arch and his feet seem to roll inwards. Should I be worried? A: Many foot ailments, like other body ills, have their origins in childhood and are present at birth. Your child's developing feet are very important to monitor as they have to carry the weight of the body for an entire lifetime. Normal foot development involves a heel-toe gait pattern by age 3 and normal arch development by age 7. Problem signs to keep an eye out for include: · Complaints of joint pain while standing, walking or running, · Knock knees or bow legs, · Uneven wear on the bottom of shoes, · Prior injury to the back, knees or ankles, · Obvious foot problems, such as bunions, corns or flat feet. Remember that lack of complaint is not a good sign. The bones of growing feet are so flexible that they can be twisted and distorted without the child being aware of it. If you have concern about your child's feet, contact your chiropodist for a thorough foot evaluation and special shoe fitting advice for children. KNEE, HEEL & ARCH PAIN ARE TREATABLE! Understanding the source of your foot and knee pain could lead to permanent relief. Book a consultation today!
