NY Podiatrist Defies Modern Trends with Handmade Orthotics

 

In an age dominated by technological advancements and digital solutions, Kristina Janson, DPM, a podiatrist in Manhattan, is boldly embracing a bygone art form to make a profound difference in the lives of her patients. In fact, Dr. Janson is one of only a few podiatrists in the country who still practices the intricate, labor-intensive process of crafting handmade custom orthotics in her lab.

Dr. Janson's handmade orthotics are far from the conventional. While the majority of her peers have shifted to a simpler process offered by 3D printing labs, Dr. Janson is passionate about creating handcrafted orthotic insoles for her patients using the painstaking Plaster of Paris method. This unique approach, often considered a lost art form in modern podiatry, has garnered significant attention for its ability to uncover nuances in foot structure and function that remote imaging technology can easily overlook.
