STQARRIJA IMPORTANTI:
L-Assoċjazzjoni tal-Podjatri ta’ Malta tixtieq twassal dawn il-punti lill-pubbliku:
1. L-APM jew podjatri membri tagħha ma’ jirrakomandaw l-ebda’ suletta li qiegħda tigi reklamata ‘online’ minkejja ċertu messaġġi promozzjonali li jinferixxu dan.
2. Hemm differenza sostanzjali bejn suletti li jingħataw wara konsulta ma’ podjatra iddisinjati sabiex ifejqu jew jillimitaw l-uġiegħ għall-kuntrarju ta’ suletti ġeneriċi li jinbigħhu online.
3. Riklamar li jinferixxi dijanjosi klinika mingħajr konsulta professjonali jista jagħmel iktar ħsara milli ġid. Afda saħħtek u saqajk f’idejn min hu kwalifikat.
4. Għal kwalunkwe problema fir-riġlejn, podjatra jista’ jghinek. Agħżel il-podjatra ta’ l-għazla tiegħek b’moħħok mistrieħ minn hawnhekk:

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
The Association of Podiatrists of Malta would like to pass on the following points to the general public:
1. Neither the APM nor its members recommend any generic insole sold online despite claims to the contrary currently being advertised inferring this.
2. There is a substantial difference between custom orthotics dispensed and prescribed following a thorough podiatry consultation designed to treat and limit pain as opposed to generic insoles that are sold online.
3. Any advertisement that infers a clinical diagnosis without a professional consultation may be harmful. Always seek care from trusted health professionals.
4. A Podiatrist can guide you with regards to all lower limb issues. Choose your trusted, registered podiatrist with peace of mind here: https://www.podiatry.org.mt/podiatrists/
