Do you have foot or back pain, or do you experience discomfort when walking? Pharmacies offer a variety of insoles. But how do you choose between over-the-counter “comfort” insoles and custom orthotic insoles prescribed after a podiatric assessment?
Comfort insoles, available at pharmacies, have the advantage of being readily available. They provide general support for the arch or heel, relieve certain mild aches and pains, and improve everyday comfort. While ideal for daily use, they do not address specific needs.
In contrast, custom orthotic insoles are tailored to each individual’s body type, posture, and medical condition. Using Vistapod technology, the pharmacist can perform a comprehensive assessment of your foot pressure distribution and posture. This assessment is then sent to a team of podiatrists who handcraft the insoles.
A pharmacist is not just a dispenser; they are a qualified healthcare professional. And when they have a degree in orthotics, they possess the specific expertise needed to assess gait disorders and recommend the appropriate solution.
With Vistapod, it offers you:
As a result, the pharmacist with a degree in orthopedics becomes a local resource for your foot health, easily accessible.
