PRODUCTS
Many of the patients that come to see me in the office spend hundreds of dollars on shoes, inserts, and other treatments before coming in.
I have put together some of the best products I have found here for you to get better fast.
This does not replace medical care but is a good place to start. If you have spent lots of time and money trying to get better might be best to see someone.
