Frequently asked questions
1. What Is a Podiatrist?
A podiatrist is a healthcare professional responsible for treating foot conditions that are not related to systemic diseases. They are trained to diagnose a wide range of foot disorders through clinical and imaging examinations, addressing issues related to the musculoskeletal, dermatological, vascular, and neurological systems.
​
The main areas of practice for a podiatrist are:
​
-
Identifying foot pathologies, as well as posture issues and deformities
-
Evaluating and diagnosing gait disorders caused by weaknesses or deformities of the feet
-
Treating conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system
-
Performing and interpreting exams, analyses, and radiographs
-
Carrying out minor surgical procedures
-
Prescribing and administering medications
-
Manufacturing, adjusting, modifying, or selling orthotics
-
Advising and educating patients on foot care, footwear selection, various conditions, and their treatments
​
2. Do I need a medical referral to see a podiatrist?
​
A medical referral is not required to consult a podiatrist. The same applies to the prescription of podiatric custom orthotics, as podiatrists are fully qualified to perform a biomechanical examination, make a diagnosis, and treat conditions affecting the feet and lower limbs.
If your family physician or another healthcare professional refers you, the podiatrist can coordinate care and provide follow‑up with your treating professionals. Teamwork and a multidisciplinary approach are often the keys to successful outcomes!
​
3. What training does a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine receive?
​
Since 2004, the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR) has been the only Canadian university to offer the undergraduate Doctorate in Podiatric Medicine program.
