President of the Federation
of International Podiatrists
(FIP) as well as its
Chairman of World Foot
Health Awareness Month and
Website Committee
Robert
Chelin DPM
has been keeping Ontario on
its feet since 1983 with an
office in midtown Toronto
and in the Durham region.
Upon graduating from the
University of Toronto with a
Bachelor of Science degree
in 1978, he then went on to
study in Chicago for 4 years
at the Dr. William M. Scholl
College of Podiatric
Medicine, graduating in 1982
with Doctor in Podiatric
Medicine (DPM) postgraduate
degree in 1982. He then
completed his training by
doing a 6-month
preceptorship.
Even today
he
continues to strive and
upgrade his skills due to
his thirst for knowledge. Robert
Chelin DPM
is a Fellow of the Academy
of Ambulatory Foot and Ankle
Surgeons and a
Diplomate
of the American Academy of
Pain Management.
Robert Chelin DPM
has served both as President
of the Canadian and the
Ontario Podiatric Medical
Associations
and is currently
the
first Canadian to serve as
President of the Federation
of International Podiatrists
(FIP) as well as its
Chairman of World Foot
Health Awareness Month and
Website Committee.
Apart from his political
accomplishments,
he
has been quite an innovative
leader in the field of
podiatry in Canada as he has
been a pioneer in the
introduction of
ie:
Minimal Incision Surgery
(MIS),
Endoscopic
Plantar
Fasciotomy
(EPF), Extracorporeal
Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) and
the new
Injectable
Foot Implants (IPF). Robert
Chelin DPM
is co-founder of the
Heel Pain Institute
which is located in Toronto,
Edmonton and Vancouver.
Recently, Robert
Chelin DPM
has become the first
Canadian trained and
certified at the Master
Surgeons course at the
Graham Implant Institute in
Michigan. As a result,
permanent correction of
HYPERPRONATION
(flatfeet) using the
Hyprocure
Titanium Implant is now a
reality. Up to now long term
treatment with corrective
footwear, exercises and
orthotics
were the norm. With the
introduction of this new
exciting procedure a new and
permanent option is
available.
He
has likened this procedure
to laser eye surgery for the
replacement of eyeglasses.
Robert Chelin DPM
has referred to this
procedure as the “internal
orthotic”
and feels that someday this
could replace the need for
orthotics
Robert
Chelin DPM
has appeared in print
(Chatelaine, Elle Canada,
Elevate, Readers Digest,
Toronto Star, and the Globe
and Mail), on radio (CBC,
CFRB, TALK 640) and appeared
on television (Global, CBC
news, The Health Show).
Earlier
this year he appeared on the
new nationally televised
program “Cosmetic
Innovations” and introduced
the Canadian public to the
“Foot Lift”. Using
the latest generation of
injectable
collagen implants (Redexis)
from
Prollenium
Medical Technologies
we are now able to replace
“what nature has taken
away”.

Robert
Chelin DPM has volunteered his time as a clinician at the
Princess Margaret's 60km walk for Breast Cancer on a yearly
basis. By providing clinical care with his colleagues to the
walkers he has been able to help many participants reach
their goal. Robert Chelin DPM has also been instrumental in
getting the Special Olympics "Fit Feet" screening program
off the ground in Canada.. Robert feels by doing these foot
screenings we have been able to identify a significant
amount of foot pathology that has been undetected and
untreated in these individuals. |
