Advanced therapeutic modalities
When conservative treatments do not provide sufficient relief, certain advanced therapeutic modalities may be considered when clinically indicated, based on podiatric evaluation.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma)
PRP uses platelets from the patient's own blood. It may be considered for certain chronic or refractory conditions, including tendon or musculoskeletal conditions, to support natural tissue repair mechanisms. This option is offered on a case-by-case basis, according to clinical indication.
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in the body, may be used for certain targeted joint conditions of the foot and ankle. It can help to:
- Improve joint function
- Reduce discomfort
- Support mobility
Its use is based on rigorous clinical evaluation.
Laser therapeutic modalities
Class 4 therapeutic laser (Summus)
The class 4 therapeutic laser (Summus) is used in the management of certain musculoskeletal conditions of the foot and ankle, including tendon conditions such as Achilles tendinitis or tendinosis. It is integrated as a complementary modality when clinically indicated.
Cutera Genesis laser
The Cutera Genesis laser is used for certain skin conditions of the foot, including:
- Plantar warts
- Scars
- Certain superficial lesions
In accordance with Health Canada guidelines, the use of the Genesis laser for fungal nails contributes to clinical improvement and does not guarantee complete elimination.
Peripheral neuropathies and circulation
The podiatrist can perform a clinical evaluation of sensitivity (peripheral neuropathies) and a clinical inspection of circulation in patients with risk factors. These evaluations aim to detect compatible signs and refer to complementary medical evaluation when required.
Progressive approach and surgery (last resort)
Care always prioritizes conservative and advanced modalities. In certain specific situations, when all other options have been tried without sufficient relief, a surgical option may be discussed as a last resort, in compliance with professional standards and after full discussion of benefits, risks and alternatives.
