Orthopaedic shoes : types and benefits - PiedRéseau Saint-Léonard
At PiedRéseau Saint-Léonard, we offer a specialized service in orthopaedic shoes designed to address various foot and leg conditions. Our podiatrists may prescribe these shoes to treat plantar deformities and mechanical abnormalities, which, if untreated, can lead to chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues. We provide a variety of orthopaedic shoes tailored to meet individual needs, including street shoes for office environments, children’s shoes for early correction of deformities, work shoes for active individuals, custom shoes for severe conditions, and prefabricated options for less severe issues. Each type of shoe is designed to enhance comfort, stability, and protection, ensuring that our patients can maintain an active lifestyle without compromising their foot health.
Located in Saint-Léonard, our clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including 3D foot scanning and a postural imaging system, to support our orthopaedic shoe service. Our team consists of Dr. Paryse Mayhew and Dr. Gabriel Cartier, both of whom hold a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree from the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières. Dr. Mayhew has completed internships focusing on pediatrics, surgery, and wound care, while Dr. Cartier has a background in kinesiology that enhances his understanding of biomechanics. Together, they ensure comprehensive assessments and personalized care for each patient seeking orthopaedic shoes at our clinic.
