Often, people will ask us for recommendations for products. From shoes to wound care, they want to know what we think, as podiatrists, is best for their feet. Thankfully, due to technology there are many products nowadays that are taking our feet into consideration. But you must remember each person is different and so are our feet, but it's always good to look for The APMA Seal of Acceptance and Seal of Approval.
The Seal of Acceptance is awarded to shoes, socks, insoles, materials, electronic health records/practice management software, and equipment. The Seal of Approval is awarded to therapeutic products such as lotions, deodorizers, wound care treatments, regulated medical devices, and medicines. Products awarded the Seal of Approval may be available over the counter or by prescription only. For more, visit HERE.
