Pathology and treatment
The podiatrist performs a series of effective and painless treatments that instantly relieves the patient. To correct the curvature of the nail during regrowth and prevention of recurrence, orthonyxis is a particularly indicated treatment.
The treatment performed by the chiropodist is painless. It involves cleaning the affected parts of the nail with a turbine and performing if onychoplasty, to guide the nail during its regrowth and allow it to optimize its aesthetic appearance.
If with the acquisition of walking and the growth of the child, the foot struggles to correct itself, the wearing of soles made to measure, with a vault support whose objective is to help the foot to arching and decreasing the internal rocker can be useful and relieve pain.
The wearing of orthopedic insoles relieves the joint and eases these pains and discomforts generated by these localized pressure points. The use of cushioning materials in the design of the soles are meant torestore comfort to walking
It is a question of analyzing a possible static disorder of the foot which will have to be corrected with the wearing of orthopedic insoles made to measure. They will unload the painful area. Orthoplasty can also be effective.
Our orthopedic insoles
A postural imbalance or a hereditary problem can modify the structure of the foot and the support zones, causing pain and discomfort when walking.
Orthopedic insoles can correct these postural dysfunctions and remedy some pain. They will promote a biomechanical realignment and strengthen the muscle tone of the lower limbs.
Because each patient is unique and their specific needs, our orthopedic insoles are made to measure, according to a detailed clinical examination, a footprint and a
postural analysis.
BT PODOLOGIE offers a complete service that includes all these exams, the design of orthopedic insoles, the follow-up and the necessary adjustments.
