“See a podiatrist to see if custom orthotics would help align your body and take the stress off load bearing joints”

Yep! My wife at during pregnancy went to this expert on women's problems (hips, backs, etc.). He soon figured out that the pregnancy wasn't the root of the problem, but the feet. So he morphed into a foot guy, and takes care of all my aches and pains too. The guy is amazing! He told me 95% of people have poor foot support.

My wife got braces when our kids did (the orthodontist did it for free!). Anyway, once she got her braces her hip quit giving her problems. Once she got the braces off, the hip problems came back, but not as bad. She mentioned that to the doc.

He smiled and said “I know. But don't tell anybody I said that. They'll think you are crazy, and they'll try to run me out of my profession. Again.”

Turns out he had figured that out awhile ago, and worked with an orthodondist to make jaw braces to get rid of back and hip pain. He wrote a paper about it and was almost run out of business.

For a short time I worked with a retired podiatrist who spent his 5 mil retirement on the state of the art machine for fitting people with custom orthotics. It is taken to the workplace where measurements for custom orthotics can be done in just a few minutes. I worked really hard to try to make a deal with unions in Las Vegas to solve some of their workers’ aches and pains, but they were unwilling to pay enough to make it workable for me. Custom orthotics for just $200 and they could not get it approved.
