on the subject.

Make sure that your foot and body specialist has the proper qualifications. The following two requirements are important:
• He or she should hold a permit from the ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux
• He or she should ask for a medical prescription from your doctor before performing any work. It is required from the Ministère and it is in your best protection. The collaboration between doctors and orthotists-prothetists is obligatory.

A medical and technical evaluation is necessary. This ensures that you are protected while ensuring an optimal result of treatment.

Listen to your body
Pay attention to what your feet are telling you. If you feel constant pain or notice the beginning of a deformation, there is a problem. Act fast before the situation gets worse. Effective solutions exist and are within an arm’s reach. Ask us for advice.

For children
Prevention at a young age is essential. It is important to consult an adjustment specialist to make sure your child wears properly fitted shoes. As the child’s bones are not yet solidified, a wrong adjustment could easily cause deformation. A nonsolidified foot will conform easily to an inadequate shoe, causing later problems. It is difficult for parents to notice the difference.

It is often said that it’s better for a child to walk barefoot than to wear the wrong shoes. But, the feet need shoes for protection, so it is better to consult a specialist to help you make a proper choice. If the foot is not correctly aligned, even slightly, the specialist will quickly notice it. He or she will then proceed to do an evaluation and will recommend some easy exercises and adjusted ankle boots or an adapted shoe. Sometimes, a simple modification will improve the child’s physical balance and have an impact on his global health for the rest of his life. A shoe must perfectly fit the shape of the foot, in length and width, in style also and in length of the arch. It should never create pressure or pain. Regular check-ups will ensure that the modifications are having a lasting effect. It’s worth considering.
