Pascale Laperrière Podiatric Clinic
Located in Vaudreuil, the clinic offers foot health care for children to the elderly.
What is the difference between a podiatrist, a physician and a doctor?
The podiatrist is a health professional governed by the Quebec Professional Code, the Podiatry Act and the Code of Ethics of Podiatrists. He evaluates and treats conditions and diseases of the foot that are not diseases of the system by medical, chemical, pharmaceutical, surgical, mechanical means or manipulation.
The podiatrist has the expertise and skills necessary to detect any complication relating to the foot and to distinguish between a podiatric pathology, which he can treat, and a systemic disease, which falls more within the competence of the doctor.

Adopting good posture when working remotely is essential!
- Sit comfortably at a table or desk and position your feet flat on the floor (use a foot rest if necessary).
- The back and thighs must be well supported against the seat and back of the chair, and we avoid crossing our legs to avoid hindering blood circulation.
- Take small breaks to walk or play sports!
- It is also recommended to wear indoor shoes, especially if you require foot orthotics.
