Knock-knees (genu valgum) - PiedRéseau Boisbriand
PiedRéseau Boisbriand offers specialized services for the treatment of genu valgum, commonly known as knock-knees. This condition, typically observed from childhood, involves an inward deviation of the knees that can lead to difficulties in movement and potential joint damage if left untreated. Our clinic is dedicated to providing comprehensive assessments and customized treatment plans to address this condition effectively, ensuring that patients can maintain their mobility and quality of life.
Located in the Laurentides region, PiedRéseau Boisbriand is equipped to diagnose and manage genu valgum in both children and adults. Our approach includes a thorough evaluation by our experienced podiatrists, who will determine the most appropriate treatment options, which may include foot orthotics, strengthening exercises, and, in severe cases, referrals for surgical interventions. We emphasize the importance of early detection and intervention to prevent complications such as osteoarthritis.
The team at PiedRéseau Boisbriand consists of Dr. Myriam Dion and Dr. Marilou Arsenault, both co-owners and podiatrists with extensive training and experience in foot health. They are supported by Dr. Myriam Grégoire, who specializes in various aspects of podiatry, and Caroline Turgeon, a nurse assistant in foot care. Together, they ensure that patients receive tailored care that addresses their specific needs related to genu valgum and overall foot health.
