Treatments
Best podiatric care in Blainville
Foot conditions
Plantar Faciliitis
Plantar fasciitis is a painful inflammation of the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. It is often caused by overuse, improper footwear, or misalignment of the foot. Treatments include specific stretching exercises, wearing orthotic inserts to support the arch of the foot, and sometimes corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation.
Consultation
Examens echographie
Ultrasound examinations are used in podiatry to guide certain treatments, such as corticosteroid injections or cyst aspirations. In real-time, ultrasound allows visualization of internal foot structures, ensuring increased precision and effectiveness during procedures.
Foot conditions
Plantar warts
Plantar warts are skin lesions caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and develop on the sole of the foot. They can be painful when pressed, walked on, or stood on. Treatments include topical medications to eliminate the warts, cryotherapy (freezing), or, in some cases, surgical removal.
Foot conditions
Nail fungus
Nail fungus, also known as onychomycosis, is a fungal infection of the nails that can cause the nail to become thick, yellow, and brittle. It is often caused by dermatophyte fungi and can be challenging to treat. Treatment options include oral or topical antifungal medications, and in severe cases, surgical removal of the infected nail.
Foot injuries and conditions
Ingrown toe nails
A permanent treatment
Ingrown toenail is a minor infection. When part of a nail becomes embedded in the surrounding flesh, mild inflammation can occur. In some cases, the inflammation develops into an infection.
Consultation
Medical Imaging
Medical imaging in podiatry includes various techniques such as X-rays, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), and CT scans (computed tomography), which allow for the evaluation of bone, joint, and soft tissue conditions of the foot. These techniques assist podiatrists in making accurate diagnoses and planning the most appropriate treatment for each patient.
Foot conditions
Calluses and corns
Calluses and corns are thickened areas of skin caused by repeated friction or excessive pressure, often on areas of foot friction. They can be painful and bothersome. Treatments include using foot files to reduce skin thickness, wearing protective pads, and correcting pressure imbalances with orthotics.
Consultation
Podiatry (children)
Podopediatrics is a branch of podiatry that focuses on foot care for children, from infancy through adolescence. Podopediatricians treat a range of pediatric conditions such as flat feet, leg length discrepancies, congenital deformities, and gait issues. They may also provide guidance on proper shoe fitting and injury prevention in growing children.
Consultation
Laser treatement
A solution for musculoskeletal and dermatological problems
Laser treatment is commonly used in podiatry to treat a variety of conditions, including musculos-skeletal conditions. Low-intensity lasers can be used to destroy infected cells without causing damage to surrounding issue.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What is a podiatrist?
With a doctorate in podiatric medicine, a podiatrist is an expert in treating all foot pathologies. They provide treatments and valuable advice to alleviate biomechanical, dermatological, infectious, and other foot-related problems. Podiatrists are qualified to diagnose and treat your feet, and they are authorized to prescribe medication as needed.
When should you consult a podiatrist?
You can consult a podiatrist for the overall health of your feet, whether or not you have symptoms, as well as for prevention or reaction to a condition. It’s important to see a podiatrist at the first sign of abnormality or if you have any questions. If you’re unsure about the health of your feet, contact us promptly for proper care. Prompt treatment can speed up recovery and prevent more serious complications.
Are podiatrist fees covered by insurance?
Podiatric medicine is a private practice, and fees such as orthotics are not covered by insurance plans. However, most group or private insurance plans cover podiatry care.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
You don’t need a doctor’s referral to see one of our podiatrists. You can book an appointment with or without a referral from your primary care physician. Our podiatrists are qualified to provide comprehensive care for your feet.
At what age can a podiatrist start treating children?
Within a few weeks to a few months after birth, a podiatrist can conduct a basic assessment of your newborn’s feet, legs, and hips. They can schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your child’s development over the years.
