F.A.Q.

Podiatric medicine is the art and science of foot health. A podiatrist is a health professional proficient in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of foot conditions and the musculoskeletal system. The podiatrist can establish a diagnosis during a clinical examination in order to offer a treatment plan adapted to your needs.

At the Sports Podiatry clinic, our podiatrists offer a range of services including consultations and treatments for sports, leisure activities or work injuries; nail treatments and skin conditions, plantar orthotics, minor surgical procedures, and advice regarding foot health.

No. You do not need a referral to see a podiatrist in Quebec. A podiatrist is a front-line health care professional. You can contact us directly to make an appointment.

Podiatric services are not covered by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ). However, there are some private insurance that cover podiatric services. Please contact your insurance company to know your coverage’s details.

There is no rule per say, but It is recommended to see a podiatrist as soon as you feel any pain or discomfort in the region of the foot or if you have medical conditions affecting your feet such as diabetes.

To prevent foot problems, it is important to wear appropriate footwear, have good foot hygiene, cut your toe nails properly, and consult your podiatrist regularly for routine check-ups.
