Ratlam is the furthest of the three areas this centre covers, so the thing that matters most is keeping the number of trips down. That is largely about what you send us before the first visit and how the appointments are grouped. This page is about that.
A custom device normally means more than one visit. What we can do is make sure none of them is wasted.
We will also tell you when something genuinely needs a separate trip. Compressing a fitting that needs proper time produces a device you will not wear.
Custom work needs casting and fitting in person: prostheses, custom AFOs and KAFOs, polio calipers, spinal braces and custom insoles. Off-the-shelf supports do not.
The full range made at the Indore centre is open to Ratlam patients:
Read the relevant page before you travel — it will tell you how many appointments to expect.
The Indore centre is open every day from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm. Message us before travelling so we can confirm the right person will be there for what you need.
See the Indore centre page for the full address and directions. Travelling from Ujjain instead? That is covered on the Ujjain page.
No. The centre serving Ratlam is Shri Krishna Orthopedics in Indore. Ratlam is a service area, not a location — we have no premises, no local staff and no local address there, and we are not going to suggest otherwise.
The first conversation can. Send photographs and a description on WhatsApp and we will tell you whether a visit is needed and what it will involve. Ready-made supports can be arranged without a visit. Custom devices cannot.
Anything custom-made — prostheses, custom AFO and KAFO, polio calipers, spinal braces, custom insoles — needs casting and fitting in person. Off-the-shelf knee sleeves, cervical collars, lumbar belts and similar do not.
Tell us at the first appointment that you are travelling from Ratlam. We will try to group what can be grouped into fewer, longer visits rather than several short ones, and we will be honest about what genuinely needs a separate trip.
The Indore centre is open every day from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm. If you are travelling from Ratlam, message us before you set out so we can confirm the right person will be there.
Yes. Long leg bracing for post-polio weakness is made and fitted at the Indore centre. See our polio caliper page for what is involved.
