Many specialists unite with one goal: preventing amputation. When podiatrists encounter patients that may lose a leg from peripheral arterial disease (PAD), vascular treatment is an urgent need. But, the question may arise: "Why doesn’t the vascular community seem to agree on how to best intervene?"

 
SOURCE: Lower Extremity Review
The popularity of lower extremity compression garments (CGs) amongst athletes continues to increase. Initially CGs were mainly prescribed to patients with chronic venous disorder. Using graduated lower extremity CGs with a degrading pressure from distal to proximal parts of this extremity increases venous flow velocity, reduces venous wall distension, improves valvular function, and stimulates lymphatic outflow.

 
SOURCE: BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Many patients will seek care from a podiatrist for plantar heel pain (PHP), while few of these patients will also be seen by a physical therapist. Physical therapists can provide treatment that is not a part of routine podiatric care for PHP and may provide additional improvement. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of interdisciplinary care for PHP that incorporated physical therapy treatment after initiating podiatric treatment.

Tendinopathy is labeled by many authors as a troublesome, common pathology, present in up to 30% medical care consultations involving musculoskeletal conditions. Despite the lasting interest for addressing tendon pathology, current researchers agree that even the exact definition of the term tendinopathy is unclear.

EVENT DETAILS: 
Hyperhidrosis (HH) is defined as excessive sweating affecting any part of the body. Excessive sweating is a disorder due to the over-stimulation of cholinergic receptors on eccrine glands. For many patients, it is debilitating and impairs social interactions and affects patients' quality of life, resulting in social and work impairment and emotional distress.

Attention Chiropodists: Six Figures is possible in your first year!!! (Posted January 10, 2022)
 
Did you know that Saskatchewan is the ONLY province in Canada where you get to practice FULL SCOPE PODIATRY under your existing chiropody license? This is the only province that respects you as a podiatrist. This sunny province not only has a shortage of podiatrists (plenty of work waiting for you), but it also lets you order radiology, blood work, oral antifungal prescriptions and a privilege to be treated like any other specialist in the field of medicine. You get to have direct access to your patients' family physician and can also directly refer out to any specialist you deem necessary to provide care for your patients.
 
This is exactly how I saw myself practicing when I was in school!!! I didn’t settle for less, and NEITHER SHOULD YOU!!!
 
My busy practice located in Saskatoon is in need of an associate Podiatrist (Chiropodist). As part of my team, you will not only practice full scope podiatry but will also have the full advantage to learn from a podiatrist entrepreneur. In over eight years of practice, I have established three successful private practices. It took me trial and error to learn how to be run a practice, but you shouldn’t have to.
