Rootwise Media publishes plain-language, clinician-written guides on the foot and ankle conditions that don't get enough airtime — from the everyday to the complex. Written by a podiatrist, for patients and the people who care for them.
Most patient education stops at a pamphlet. Ours doesn't. Every Rootwise Media guide is written by Dr. Elise Matichak, DPM, drawing on her clinical training and current research to explain not just what a condition is, but why it happens, what the treatment options actually involve, and when something is worth a closer look.
We built this library because people living with chronic and complex conditions are so often left piecing together answers from forums, outdated pamphlets, and rushed appointments. That's a design failure, not a personal one.
Rootwise Media is one piece of a larger platform: Rootwise App helps you prepare for and remember what happens in the room, and Rootwise Market connects you to the products that help. Rootwise Media makes sure you understand what's happening in between.
Everyday condition guides for the issues that show up in daily life, and clinical deep dives for the complex conditions that deserve more than a pamphlet.
Our library of guides doesn't have its own early-access list yet. In the meantime, join the waitlist for Rootwise™ App — our companion app that helps you build a summary before your appointment, record the conversation, and walk away with a plain-language recap and action list. See how it works →
