Re: Biofreeze and Orthotists

Oops, Lori, sorry about that here it is http://www.biofreeze.com

As for finding an orthopedist and orthotist for kids, let me know what state you

are in. Depending on where you live, one of the Centers of Excellence would be a

good place to start. You might also try Shriners in your area. They help kids

with CMT. Or ask your neurologist to recommend an orthopedist specializing in

feet and go from there. Or ask your physical therapist for a recommendation.Or

type in your zip code to find orthotists in your area (within 50 miles)

My Internist was the one who recommended my orthotist. My orthotist didn't need

to know about CMT per se, he just watched me walk in his hallways, examined my

shoes (to see where the wearing down was and the last) then measured my feet

length/width, made molds etc.

Some orthotists specialize in kids, others in adults, others in both.

No info attached? Also how would I go about finding a orthotist and

orthopedist for kids that know about CMT?
