Comprehensive foot care by our professionals: comfort, prevention, and well-being every day

Understand

What is foot care?

Foot care is a comprehensive podiatric service for all types of patients: seniors, diabetics, athletes, workers on their feet, or simply those wishing to maintain healthy feet. This service includes safe nail trimming, treatment of calluses and corns, as well as targeted hydration to prevent dryness and cracks.

For runners and active individuals, foot care helps prevent discomfort related to pressure and repeated friction. Accumulation of calluses, improperly cut nails, or untreated corns can lead to pain and affect your gait, thus increasing the risk of injury.

For seniors and people with diabetes, foot care plays a key role in complication prevention.Loss of sensitivity in the feet, common in diabetics, can prevent the detection of small injuries that risk worsening. Regular follow-up by a professional helps prevent infections and maintain foot health.

Clinique Podiatrique Mont-Royal & Griffintown offers attentive follow-up tailored to every need. Whether for preventive, aesthetic, or therapeutic care, our professionals guide you to ensure daily foot comfort and health.

Nail Trimming and Care

Safe and professional toenail trimming, including filing and groove cleaning. This care prevents ingrown nails and infections, which is particularly important for diabetics or people with reduced mobility.

Callus and Corn Treatment

Professional debridement of calluses, corns, and bunions using sterilized instruments. Removing these skin thickenings relieves pain, improves walking comfort, and prevents complications such as ulcers.

Preventive Care and Hydration

Application of targeted hydrating agents to treat dryness, cracks, and heel fissures. This care also includes a visual foot examination to detect any abnormalities requiring podiatric follow-up.

What is the difference between a podiatric treatment and a pedicure?

Unlike an aesthetic pedicure offered in a salon, a podiatric treatment is a health procedure performed by a qualified professional in a sterile clinical environment. It aims to treat conditions such as corns, calluses, and problematic nails with sterilized medical instruments. Podiatric care also includes an examination of foot health and can detect early signs of problems requiring medical follow-up.

Is foot care suitable for diabetics?

Absolutely. Foot care is particularly important for people with diabetes. Diabetes can lead to loss of sensitivity in the feet (neuropathy) and poor blood circulation, which increases the risk of infections and complications. Regular professional follow-up helps prevent ulcers, quickly detect invisible injuries, and safely maintain foot health.

Is foot care covered by insurance?

Coverage depends on your insurance plan. Many private insurers cover podiatric care when provided by a qualified professional. Podiatric treatments are generally partially or fully covered by most group insurance plans. We recommend checking with your insurer before your appointment. We provide the necessary receipts for claims.

Is the first consultation always with a podiatrist?

Yes, the first consultation is always performed by a podiatrist to assess the condition of your feet and determine the appropriate care. Subsequently, follow-up care can be carried out by a qualified nursing assistant under the podiatrist's supervision, according to the established treatment plan.
