Join the reflective journey with Jason Agosta and the esteemed podiatrist Matt Appleton, as we unravel the intricacies of orthotic therapy. With Matt's extensive background in private practice, sports medicine, and shoe retail, our conversation meanders through the evolution of podiatry, shining a light on the artisanal craft of orthotic fabrication and its critical role in clinical expertise. We share stories that celebrate the lessons learned from patients, and Matt imparts his wisdom on keeping the zeal for podiatry aflame through a career rich in diversity.
This episode isn't just about the who's who and the what's what; it's an ethical exploration into the heart of patient-centric care, dissecting the delicate balance between necessity and financial influence in the prescribing of orthotics. We lay bare the ramification of over-prescription, and why follow-up care isn't just an afterthought—it's a cornerstone of effective podiatry. As we navigate the practical skills essential for modifying orthotics, we underscore the educational void in current teaching methods, advocating for a musculoskeletal curriculum that does justice to the hands-on finesse required in our field. Listen in for a discourse that promises to enrich your perspective on the craft and challenge you to reflect on the impact of your work in podiatry.
