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.

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.

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.

Yes, treatment can be provided on the first visit. However, the podiatrist will make an assessment to determine the appropriate treatment in view of your condition. In addition, an anxiolytic can be administered on request to accommodate people more anxious in the face of the treatment.

Can Treatment Be Provided on the First Visit?

As soon as you suspect an abnormality, such as redness, swelling, or pain, consult a podiatrist or doctor to find a permanent solution. The professional will target the causes and appropriate treatment. However, a diabetic should call immediately for a consultation when an ingrown toenail is suspected.

According to the Podiatry Act of the Civil Code of Québec, only podiatrists and physicians are entitled to diagnose an ingrown toenail. It is therefore not advisable to entrust the treatment of ingrown toenail to any professional other than them.

This quick and painless treatment is used as a first line of attack for minor infections where the nail edge is still visible. The procedure (slant back) is to cut through the corner of the offending nail, without pain or anesthesia. If necessary, a follow-up may be needed to ensure the cure is permanent.

Minor surgery under local anesthetic targets the infected toe. This procedure is the most common permanent solution, with an efficiency rate of 98%. Recovery is rapid, between one and two weeks. The patient can resume normal activities in the first week without any major restrictions.

The causes are a trauma of the foot, such as wearing the wrong shoes, an old fracture, a fungus, etc. There are also biomechanical abnormalities such as hallux valgus (bunion) or pronation and neoplasms, including melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Among the congenital factors are thick nails, the shape of the phalanx, or systemic diseases, such as diabetes, anemia, pulmonary fibrosis, lymphedema, etc.
