The podiatrist is the health professional who treats all foot-related issues that are not linked with the way the body operates as a systemic whole. After completing his 1st cycle doctorate in podiatric medicine, he is officially accredited to diagnose foot pathologies and to treat them with medical, pharmaceutical, surgical, or mechanical (orthoses<\/a>) interventions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The podiatrist is a health specialist who completed a doctorate in podiatric medicine at the university and possesses a practice licence issued by the\u00a0Ordre des podiatres du Qu\u00e9bec<\/em>. He\u2019s able to diagnose and treat all foot-related issues. The prescription and fabrication of plantar othoses are part of the numerous forms of treatment that he uses.<\/p>\n

The orthotist-prosthetist, after completing a college degree, becomes a technician who fabricates orthoses that are prescribed by a health specialist like a doctor or a podiatrist. The orthosist may exercise his profession without being a member of the\u00a0Association des orth\u00e9sistes, proth\u00e9sistes et orth\u00e9sistes du pied<\/em>\u00a0or the\u00a0Ordre des technologues professionnels du Qu\u00e9bec<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s never too early to consult a podiatrist. When any abnormal development of a child\u2019s foot is suspected, the podiatrist is able to assess its level of seriousness and to intervene if necessary, while always considering the child\u2019s age.<\/p>\n

Children\u2019s health and well-being are a priority at the Podiatric Clinic of Laval. That\u2019s why we insist on keeping a close eye on how children develop over the years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Are the fees covered by the RAMQ?” title_color=”#2372bc”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\n
\n
No. The fees related to podiatric treatments are refunded by most private insurance companies, as they are for the dentist. We can provide an estimate that your insurance company may use for verification purposes.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Should a diabetic person consult a podiatrist?” title_color=”#2372bc”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
Yes, it\u2019s strongly recommended, since the feet of diabetics are a lot more likely to develop serious complications. The Podiatric Clinic of Laval\u2019s personnel is diligent and uses specialised equipment designed to assess the condition of diabetics\u2019 feet.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
