RE: Re: Newbie:*) ???Podiatrist for hip pain???

[Guest guest]

Hi Stacey and Cheyenne and all…

I also paid 400.00 for orthotics…it was an interesting process because I

was also prescribed a very interesting type of running show…..well I put

out 200.00 in running shoes also….then I get told that the orthotics

that were made would not be helping me as the running shoes were made

crooked….

well I pondered crooked running shoes….i pondered what the person who

made the orthotics said….it confused me….but my knees and hips ankles

and feet still hurt…it is hard to say if they would hurt more without

them….

but in canada a podiatrist has four years of foot training….so they

might truly be able to give you some insight…there are many different

types of orthotics made from different companies with different

components…if you are going to put out the money I guess make sure you

are getting your money’s worth…hahah I do have to laff that my shoes

truly were made crooked…I was reimbursed by the company…but walking

crooked for a year I don’t think helped me….

my husband swears by his but he has a stress fracture in his foot…his

hips don’t bother him…

I hope this does not add to the confusion of your decision making

process….but I guess just gather more information..

just a little blurb here…the article is at

http://www.podiatrychannel.com/aPodiatrist.shtml

Podiatrists are medical specialists of the foot, ankle, and lower leg. A

podiatrist holds a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (D.P.M.) degree.

To receive this 4-year degree, a person must attend one of seven

podiatric medical schools in the United States. These schools offer

courses similar to those at allopathic schools where graduates earn

medical degrees to become a medical doctor (M.D.).

Sincerely

Cheyenne,

I have custom made orthodic inserts that I wear in my shoes. they

ehlp keep my knees aligned, and are supposed to help my hips. I do my

physical therapy to keep specific muscles storng to help my knees and

hips. Now, ask me if it really and truly helps. Well, the answer is

no. Godd luck, maybe it will help you.

Take care,
