What’s a Podiatrist, Anyway?
A podiatrist is the health professional who evaluates and treats foot conditions that are not related to system diseases. The scope of practice of a podiatrist therefore extends to more than one field.
These include:
Foot orthopedic disorders:
- Flat feet, hollow foot (high- arched foot), hallux valgus (bunions), hammer toes, tendonitis, bursitis, heel pain, fractures, arthritis, sprains and much more.
- Skin disorders (dermatological).
- Calluses, corns, dermatitis, cysts, wounds, etc.
Infectious diseases:
- Plantar warts, athlete’s foot, mycotic nails and ingrown toenails.
Medical imaging:
- Radiography and diagnostic ultrasound.
It is after assessing the vascular, neurological, dermatological and orthopedic conditions of the feet that the podiatrist can establish a treatment plan that will be adapted according to the condition of the patient.
The medical procedures frequently used by podiatrists include:
- Foot care (nail clipping and surgical resection of calluses)
- Prescribing certain medications
- Minor surgeries (ingrown toenails, resection of cysts, biopsies)
- Anesthetic injections
- Cortisone injections
- Viscosupplementation injections
- Prescribing and manufacturing custom-made foot orthotics
Manual Therapy
- Therapeutic taping
- Debridement and dressings for diabetic wounds
The academic journey to become a podiatrist is similar to that of a dentist. Therefore, the podiatrist must hold a Ph.D. degree in podiatric medicine in order to be qualified under this title. This training represents 1,700 hours of theory and more than 2,300 hours of practice.
Thereafter, the podiatrist must obtain a license to practice podiatric medicine issued by the Ordre des podiatres du Québec. The Podiatrist must comply with several quality standards and regulations such as professional inspections and continuous training, which is not the case for non-professionals.
