[quote=Anonymous]I get custom orthotics. I find the ones with the pronounced bump work better for me that the less "intrusive" ones.

The first time it got really bad the podiatrist at the time did I think a laser therapy, maybe it was the one you mentioned. I was shocked it helped and I think it was covered with insurance.

Many years later a different podiatrist didn't have access to that treatment. I made it clear I was not going to wear a boot. She gave me a bunch of exercises, one of which was with w frozen plastic bottle of water. I think I would roll it under the foot back and forth. Another was tip toe walking.She also gave me stretches. I diligently did it all every night. It took over a month, maybe over 2 months, but it worked.

Also I am way more careful about getting new orthotics every year. I will still use the old ones in other shoes, but it's important to have new ones. Also, I am much more careful about buying new sneakers more often and not trying to save money, by waiting until they are completely worn out.[/quote]
