Our podiatry products have been tried tested and perfected to provide the best possible solutions for your podiatry problems, some of our products include but are not limited to, Laser Treatments, Shoe Inserts (orthotics) and fungus and bacteria solutions.
Laser Treatments
Instead of using the traditional creams and ointments available from your local chemist which only allows for a maximum of 15% fungal treatment regardless of the amount you use, Bloemfontein Podiatry recommends using their fungal laser treatment, depending on the severity of the fungal infection. Fungus can now be treated by laser with more than 92% effectiveness, your podiatrist will advise you on the necessary amount of treatments to obtain the desired results.
Beyond Green
We also recommend using Beyond Green San A Safe Medical solutions to sterilize and kill any fungus, bacteria and algae. These solutions can be obtained from Bloemfontein Podiatry.
Orthotics
Orthoses are custom-made shoe inserts made specifically to reduce foot pathology. The prescription and manufacture of orthoses is an important part of podiatric practice.
The podiatrist is trained in the manufacturing techniques for a diversity of shoe inserts. Most inserts fall into two main categories – functional orthoses or palliative orthoses.
Functional orthoses are prescribed after the biomechanical assessment and casting of the feet.
They are made by various techniques to align the structure of the foot in its most functionally efficient position.
The orthotic, moulded from the cast, is designed to stabilise the foot and to prevent it from moving into an unbalanced position while walking or running.
Palliative orthoses are designed specifically to reduce pressure from painful or ulcerated areas of the foot.
These are often softer and less complicated devices made of foam or rubbers.
Palliative orthoses are often used for the treatment of severely deformed feet with a limited range of motion and mobility.
They are often an appropriate choice for elderly people.
