Treatment of foot and ankle pain
The podiatrist will do the same as during a consultation at his office. He will ask you specific questions and take the full extent of your history. Sometimes, videos of your feet and ankles are required. This will allow him to establish an idea of your condition.
Once the situation has been clarified by your podiatrist, he will give you the best recommendations according to your problem. Several interventions can be carried out by your podiatrist:
- Refer to a specific treatment plan
- Provide advice on the progression of a condition or prevention
- Teach mobility, strength or balance exercises
- Prescribe imaging tests (X-ray, MRI, Ultrasound)
- Prescribe medications
- Prescribe orthopedic supports (unloading boot, orthopedic shoes, etc.)
- Refer to another healthcare professional if necessary
This service allows you to benefit from the expertise of a professional while avoiding waiting time in a medical clinic or emergency room.
Evaluation for Plantar Orthotics
Foot orthoses are an effective and versatile therapeutic aid. They are insoles inserted into shoes used to alleviate, reduce or completely cure pain related to pathologies.
Ultimately, their primary goal is to optimize lower limb function and support or compensate for lower limb deficiency.
For what condition can they be useful:
- Lenoir's Thorn
- Plantar fasciitis
- Onions (hallux valgus)
- Hammer toes
- Plantar neuroma (Morton's)
- Metatarsalgia
- Tendinitis
- Bursitis
- Chronic ankle sprains
- Knee pain
- Lower back pain
- And many others
What benefits do they provide?
- Distribution of plantar pressures by increasing the contact surface with the ground
- Redistribution of forces (pressure, constraints, etc.) applied to a damaged structure towards a healthy structure.
- Beneficial change in the transmission of forces to other parts of the lower limb (ankle, leg, knee, hip, lower back)
- Can be used in combination with several other treatments (Stretching, strengthening, cortisone infiltration, etc.)
- Activation or inhibition of certain muscles for better motor skills
- Improved stability and balance

Get a prescription online
An online prescription is a medical prescription issued by a healthcare professional via digital platforms, during a teleconsultation without the need to physically travel to the doctor. A digital prescription not only saves a lot of time, but it also helps improve the accessibility of care for remote populations or those with reduced mobility. Digital prescriptions issued during teleconsultations are valid in the same way as paper prescriptions in pharmacies and laboratories.
