Your podiatrist at the Clinique podiatrique Berri will determine your needs through a biomechanical assessment and will prescribe and order your orthotics in Montreal. These will be made from polypropylene based on your foot imprint and will provide efficient arch support.

These orthotics will help relieve pain caused by:

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Tendinitis
  • Morton neuroma
  • Corns
  • Heel spur
  • Metatarsalgia.

These orthotics can also relieve knee pains such as the femoropatellar syndrome and also effectively address sciatica and lower back pain in static positions or during extended walks.

Gait Analysis

This diagnostic tool allows the identification of problems with feet and lower limbs.

The analysis confirms the presence of inflammation, of unequal legs or neurological impairment e.g. drop foot.

Biomechanical examination

This overall review of foot health allows the determination among others of the amplitude of the movement of articulations, ligament flexibility, muscle and tendon rigidity, foot deformities (flat or high arch feet), toe deformities (corns, hammer toes) as well as pressure points along the bottom of the foot.

Posture examination

This examination can detect the presence of uneven lower limbs, rocking at the hips, scoliosis, kyphosis, etc.

Plantar orthotics can help relieve several foot problems

In order to treat these medical problems, your podiatrist will prescribe anti-inflammatories, cortisone injections and made custom orthotics. Your podiatrist may also apply a bandage under the foot to support the arch, suggest certain exercises to warm up muscles, tendons and ligaments and recommend certain types of footwear.

Heel Spur

This is an outgrowth, a calcification, in the distal and medial part of the calcaneus bone which can be diagnosed with an X-ray of the foot. Please consult your podiatrist for treatment.

Morton’s neuroma

This problem is caused by the inflammation of the nerve located at the head of the metatarsals in front part of the foot. Often people suffering from this problem experience feelings of numbness, burning and/or electrical discharge under the feet or toes.

Furthermore, they feel like they have a bump under the feet. These symptoms are aggravated by extended walks.

Plantar fasciitis

This is the inflammation of the ligament which joins the heel to the toes (the plantar fascia). Typical early symptoms are pain when the foot is placed on the ground after a prolonged period of rest such as getting out of bed in the morning. The pain will gradually disappear after a few steps.
