FORMED FOOTCARE

For the health of your feet

Foot care is the evaluation and introduction of treatment alternatives for the anatomical or functional disorders of the ankle and foot.

In a healthy foot all skeletal and soft tissues, all joints and ligaments that form a complicated structure function in harmony. It is well known that static abnormalities of the foot may have a role in the back pain and even headache.

The patient will be relieved of foot complaints by accurate differential diagnosis. In addition to the substantial examination and visualization techniques, methods implemented to observe the pressure distribution of the foot give important information to make the diagnosis to produce the appropriate sole and to follow-up the therapy.

Foot care programs are utilized at Nişantaşı Formed. The disorders that can be treated by physical therapy and rehabilitation methods are handled at this center by the implementation of patient friendly programs. Disorders that necessitate employment of other disciplines are guided as needed.

Novel Emed-X pedobarography platform that is installed at Nişantaşı clinic presents a map of the pressure distribution of the sole, at a sensitivity of a quarter of a square centimeter. The results are gathered in a database that is used to provide information on outcome as well as to supply scientific data for generating solutions for the cause of the problem.

To support the treatment program of the related physicians foot pressure distribution analyses of the patients who are directed by orthopedic surgeons, physiatrists and internists or endocrinologists who treat diabetic cases are carried out at the Foot Care Center.
