Orthotics From Our New Community Partner
A big thanks to SuperFeet Premium Insoles for their generous support of the St. Anthony Medical Clinic podiatry program. SuperFeet has kindly offered to keep our program in a steady supply of orthotics so as the ease the pain and discomfort of many of our patients who need specialized foot care, often as a result of spending all day on their feet at work work and caring for family members.
Our podiatry patients are low income men and women who often times are diabetic. Diabetics are at high risk for foot complications such as neuropathy, food ulcers, and poor circulation which, if left untreated, can lead to irreversible damage that can only be treated by amputation. Our patients do not have health insurance they often come in with untreated injuries or illnesses that have compromised their foot health and are in need of podiatric management and custom orthotics. With the help of SuperFeet orthotics, our staff podiatrist Dr. Mario Rizzo — who has been serving the St. Anthony community for over 30 years — can customize care according to each patients needs.
Thank you, SuperFeet! And thanks to all our community partners who help make the care at St. Anthony Medical Clinic truly fantastic!
