The NDG Podiatric Clinic's mission is to offer high-quality podiatric care for foot and ankle problems in children, adults and the elderly.

Our dedication allows you to benefit from rapid and effective care. We promote the use of cutting-edge technology treatments. We want to offer the best treatment for your pain.

Located in Montreal, Sherbrooke West street corner Cavendish. The clinic offers high quality care for foot pain and dermatological problems. With state-of-the-art equipment, we can diagnose and treat your pain effectively.

The podiatrist is a health professional authorized to diagnose and treat foot conditions. He has a university education, Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM). The training of the podiatrist, leading to the title of doctor of podiatric medicine, represents about 1,770 hours of theoretical training and more than 2,300 hours of practical training over a four-year period. A doctorate in podiatric medicine compares a dentist.

In Quebec, he must be a member of the Order of Podiatrists. He works in a private practice. The podiatrist has the expertise and skills necessary to detect any complications related to the foot and distinguish between a podiatric pathology, which he can treat, and a disease of the system, which is rather the competence of the doctor.

In addition to offering advice on foot health and hygiene, the podiatrist can prescribe and administer certain medications, perform minor surgeries and prescribe, manufacture or modify podiatric orthotics.

Costs related to podiatry care are often covered by insurance companies. However, check with your insurer before making an appointment with the podiatrist, since coverage varies from one company to another.

DO INSURANCE COMPANIES REIMBURSE PODIATRY CARE?

Unless exempt for specialized wound care programs, podiatric consultation fees are not reimbursed by the RAMQ. Costs related to podiatric care are often covered by insurance companies. However, check with your insurer before making an appointment with the podiatrist, since coverage varies from one company to another.

ARE THE COSTS FOR A PODIATRIC CONSULTATION COVERED BY THE RÉGIE DE L'ASSURANCE MALADIE DU QUÉBEC (RAMQ)?

No, you don't need a medical referral. If your general practitioner, medical specialist or any other health professional refers you to see a podiatrist, a prescription with the reason for the consultation can help the podiatrist and respond to the health professional with a summary of your visit. Sometimes the podiatrist can recommend a specialist for further examinations. When making an appointment, the receptionist will ask you a few questions about the reason for the consultation in order to assess the time and needs necessary for your meeting with the podiatrist.

DO YOU NEED A PRESCRIPTION FROM THE DOCTOR TO MEET A PODIATRIST?

Yes. Laboratory analyses effectively allow the podiatrist to confirm a podiatric diagnosis or to rule out any risk of systemic disease, by identifying diseases, pathologies or abnormalities in his exclusive field of exercise. These analyses also help to establish a safe treatment plan and ensure proper follow-up. In certain circumstances, tests are mandatory if the podiatrist wants to meet current medical standards and carry out the appropriate follow-up of drug therapy.

CAN A PODIATRIST PRESCRIBE LABORATORY TESTS?

Yes, to treat local foot infections. The new regulation on drugs that a podiatrist can administer or prescribe has come into force since May 2020.

CAN A PODIATRIST PRESCRIBE ORAL ANTIBIOTICS OR ANTIFUNGALS?

Yes, a podiatrist can prescribe an X-ray, ultrasound, magnetic resonance or other examination related to his field of practice, if this medical imaging examination is required and appropriate.

CAN A PODIATRIST PRESCRIBE MEDICAL IMAGING TESTS SUCH AS X-RAYS, ULTRASOUND OR Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)?

Our professionals have a human and personalized approach. Their mission is to treat you as effectively as possible so that you can enjoy your activities and your daily life without worrying about the health of your feet.

The NDG Podiatry Clinic treats many different types of foot and ankle issues. We treat diabetic feet, plantar warts, bunions, nail fungus, heel pain (plantar fasciitis), neuromas, calluses, corns, hammer toes, athlete's foot problems, ingrown toenails, senior foot care and more.

Treatments

Cortisone or viscosupplement injections may be recommended to you by the podiatrist. These aim to treat inflammation and intense pain or pain that persists over time. The podiatrists at the NDG podiatric clinic have the expertise to perform these injections so that you get the greatest benefits for your health.

Injections

The foot orthosis is a medical device inserted inside a shoe. It is designed to modify the amplitude and duration of reaction forces on the sole of the foot, in order to allow normal functioning of the lower limbs. During physical activity, the foot orthosis reduces pathological forces in order to promote the healing of this structure and thus reduce pain and inflammation. 

Custom foot orthotics can be used to treat pain and injuries, as well as postural and gait problems in children. It is also commonly used with diabetic patients to prevent pressure points and foot ulcers.

Melanoma is the most common skin cancer. It is derived from melanocytes, from which the potential of metastases is very high. When affected by such a disease, abnormally coloured spots may appear over the entire body. A podiatrist has the necessary qualifications to detect and diagnose abnormalities of the skin of the feet and legs.

Melanomas & Skin Cancer - Symptoms, Treatment, Prevention

Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer, and is caused by changes in melanocytes, which produce a skin pigment called melanin. Often patients will neglect to inspect between their toes, nail beds, and soles of their feet. Visiting your podiatrist is one of the best ways to avoid missing suspicious lesions (that might otherwise be missed by you). Ask your podiatrist to inspect the skin of your feet and ankles, especially if a family history was positive for skin cancers.

Skin Cancer

A non-invasive pain and inflammation treatment, Laser therapy can reduce swelling and pain from an acute insury.

An ingrown toenail is a nail that penetrates the skin, causing pain and even infection. During your visit to the clinic, the podiatrist will pursue all possible avenues in order to find the etiology of the ingrown toenail.

Ingrown Toenail - Symptoms, Treatment, Prevention

An untreated ingrown toenail can become infected and lead to complications. The infection can spread to nearby tissue and sometimes bone (osteomyelitis). People with diabetes who have an ingrown toenail should promptly consult our podiatrist to treat the condition and avoid complications.

Ingrown Toenail

Corns and calluses are thick, hardened layers of skin caused by repetitive friction. The body protects itself by increasing the thickness of the epidermal layers, creating protective dead cells.

Be aware that both corns and calluses that are not adequately addressed can lead to serious complications, such as ulcers, infections, and even to amputation of the foot in the case of diabetics. Consult us to avoid such complications.

Corns & Calluses

Plantar Warts are contagious, benign lesions which result from the proliferation of epidermal cells. The wart occurs when the human papilloma virus (HPV) enters the skin through tiny cuts in the surface layer of the skin of the foot. Under the pressure exerted on the soles of the feet, the wart is pushed inward and then covered with a thick layer of skin.

Plantar Warts - Symptoms, Treatment, Prevention

A plantar wart can also hide more serious skin damage, such as melanomas and carcinomas of the skin. Visit us to find the best solution depending on the type of and the duration of infection by the wart.

Plantar Warts

Ultrasound is a non-invasive and safe medical imaging technique. Podiatrists use it to check the status of soft tissue, ligaments, muscles, as well as the presence of masses. It is a diagnostic tool that allows them to see and determine the severity of a foot disease.

Medical Imaging

By definition, the diabetic foot runs a higher risk of complications due to a lack of sensitivity (neuropathy), decreased blood circulation (vascularization), and a high level of blood sugar that reduces the healing capacity and the effectiveness of the immune system in fighting infections.

Every diabetic should consult a podiatrist for education, prevention, and the maintenance of healthy feet. A podiatrist performs a thorough analysis of the health of the feet and determines an appropriate treatment plan. Consulting a podiatrist is important if you have diabetes, it can reduce the likelihood of hospitalization by 24% and the risk of amputation by 85%.

Diabetic foot infections are the most common reason for hospital admissions among Canadians living with diabetes. The risk of foot amputation is highest among diabetic Canadians over the age of 40 who smoke and who have had diabetes for 10 years or more.

Every diabetic should conduct a daily inspection of their feet to monitor their diabetes. In addition, there are ways to maintain health, which include avoiding walking barefoot, quitting smoking, controlling blood sugar, participating in physical exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight.

The podiatrist examines and treats diabetic feet suffering from lesions, ingrown toenails, corns, and calluses. During the consultation, he will assess the neurological status of the feet, undertake a vascular examination, and check for any sign of potential complications. Depending on the patient’s state of health, the podiatrist may recommend wearing special shoes, controlling pressure points using custom foot orthotics, and preventive surgery as a last resort.

Be aware that both corns and calluses that are not adequately addressed can lead to serious complications, such as ulcers, infections, and even to amputation of the foot in the case of diabetics.

Certain diabetics will not be able to feel pain or other sensations on their feet and will interpret this as reason not to seek medical help. Undiagnosed neuropathy can be a serious health risk. Consult your podiatrist to avoid such complications.

Diabetic Foot

Podopediatrics permanently corrects biomechanical and postural defects before the end
of a child’s growth period. A podiatrist has the ability to assess the foot in all its complexity;
the foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 ligaments, tendons, and
muscles, etc. His analysis can detect anomalies and protect the health of a child’s feet.

Parents who identify an anomaly in the gait of their children or in the alignment of the feet should consult a podiatrist. He will make a diagnosis and plan the necessary treatment. Even if the child does not complain of pain, problems may be present. In addition, some diseases can appear in the form of injuries.

Preventive methods involve purchasing proper shoes, attentiveness when the child participates in sports, the prescription of custom foot orthotics and other equipment useful in biomechanical development. Furthermore, it is recommended to consult a podiatrist if a parent were to find a skin or nail problem in their child, such as plantar warts, ingrown toenails, sprains, etc.

Each patient receives a complete biomechanical examination, and a follow-up, thanks to CryoVizion, a scientifically proven technology. During the consultation, the podiatrist performs a medical-imaging exam to understand the child’s posture accurately. He then determines the best treatment that he validates by following-up the progress of the posture and biomechanics.

Podopediatrics / Child Care

Foot surgery can heal pathologies such as hallux valgus, hammer toe, etc. An x-
ray examination will help to determine whether surgery is necessary, depending
on the quality or alignment of bones and joints. It will be performed only to correct
an improper functioning of the feet or to decrease pain. Because of the complexity
of the feet, any surgery should be performed only by a podiatrist or doctor.

Minor surgery can permanently cure an ingrown toenail (onychocryptosis). When a nail penetrates the skin surrounding it, pain, redness, and swelling may occur. Infection can also spread to the surrounding tissue and sometimes even to the bone. Before administering a local anesthesia, the podiatrist evaluates whether surgery is needed. While the healing time is short, this treatment is suitable only for specific cases.

The accommodative foot orthotic requires a prescription. It aims to relieve the pressure – in terms of magnitude and duration – from a painful or injured area on the bottom of the foot. These insoles facilitate walking because they are less rigid and more comfortable.

Operation for Hallux Valgus (Bunion Foot)

The hallux valgus surgery is performed as a last resort. Prior to this, the podiatrist performs a comprehensive assessment of your biomechanics using digital radiology. Following this examination, he determines the appropriate treatment for hallux valgus. In many cases, conservative treatment, such as the wearing of orthotics, can correct a bunion foot.

The hammer toe is sometimes a complication from hallux valgus and can cause pain. Surgery is one of the possible treatments. The podiatrist determines the appropriate treatment. Visit our podiatric clinic for a complete evaluation of a hammer toe or claw toe.

Preventative Surgery Detection by Skin Biopsy

A skin biopsy can detect a large number of skin abnormalities. By taking a small sample of the skin of the lower limbs, the podiatrist can diagnose cancer and determine if the disease is affecting the adjacent skin. The biopsy can even target the source of the problem.

A nail biopsy can detect the presence of fungi and other skin diseases. It can be practised with or without local anaesthesia. The podiatrist will take a small sample of the nail and will analyze it quickly. Please note that we alone offer this service in the region.

Once the biopsy has been obtained, the sample is sent to the pathology laboratory for analysis. The skin or the nail will be examined to confirm the presence or absence of skin cancer and other diseases. If a disease is present, the podiatrist will ensure that the file is taken over by a specialist. Visit our podiatrist to benefit from these exclusive services.
