Result number: 1 Posted by Rick R on 7/07/10 at 17:42 Good one, I never had the scratch for the plane but got to watch the carnage. We built and armed square rigged boats and turned the local pond into a kill zone. Perhaps the greatest sport of all were the simple dirt clod wars. I lived next to wooded swamp land which was in the process of being filled to create the park. There were always dirt hills scattered around with an endless supply of ammo. These would get down right brutal. I earned my bones with the older kids by brazenly charging the opposition and unleashing a torrent or just one massive chunk to blast down their wall. I never got hit badly but sent many running off and home to mommy get patched up. I probably should have put the arm to better use. By the time I was one of the older kids things were much more civilized. My friend and I built an underground tunnel network to avoid the evil of iddleness. We would provoke a chase by taunting a happy motorist and disappear. This was also a winter sport when our main method of provocation involved snow balls which kept the arm in shape for dirt clod season. I also had a tunnel under the barbed wire fence to gain access to the Hinsdale Country club. It was great sport to get chased by goons in golf carts, but wasn't as much fun when they shot at me. I discovered that with inspired motivation I could skip the effort of tunneling. At times I wonder if creating the relative padded existance for kids these days gives rise to 'extreeme' sports in their late teens and twentys.
Result number: 2 Posted by Dale W. on 7/01/10 at 01:28 The play dough forms the retaining mold, it does not form the supporting contours of the orthotic. It's shape is of the outside margin of the foot all around. Thats why you use a knife to trace all around the foot, cutting right down to the pan. Its just as if you put your foot down on a sheet of paper and traced all around with a pen. The dough needs to be deep enough, about 1.5 to 2 inches. Try putting the saran wrap down into the mold and on the bottom of the dish, then lay in the silicone. Now lay on a sheet of felt that has been trimmed close to the same shape as your foot. Now put your foot on the felt and push down into the silicone. The felt will keep the silicone from sticking to your foot, and will also allow air to get through to the silicone so it can cure more readily. After drying the felt will be the liner that comes in contact with the foot. Can anyone think of something better than felt? A material that is slightly stretchy is what we are looking for.
Result number: 3 Posted by Nancy on 6/29/10 at 19:47 I need a really, really good podiatrist in the LA area (Pasadena, LA, Glendale) who is a specialist in biomechanical issues. Some podiatrists I have seen don't even touch your feet, or watch you walk, etc! I need someone a cut above. Please help me.
Result number: 4 Posted by leslieg on 6/24/10 at 10:37 My doctor is Scott Maling and is a surgical podiatrist. Google Desert Foot and Ankle in Mesa Arizona and you will find the link to the website. Mesa is about 25-35 minutes from Glendale, depending upon traffic. He is also the doctor that did four surgeries on my son for flat feet repair. If you read my full post you will understand my journey with TTS. After my symptoms were no longer mild and I paid attention to them, my process was rather quick because of my MRI and because I had no interest in staying like that. However, my recovery 8 weeks post opp feels long. My husband keeps asking--how long are you going to be on crutches? I have learned to measure foot progress by weeks and not days. Meaning, am I in a better place today then two weeks ago. My answer is yes. I may not like the place I am in, but I am in a better place. I also had a steroid shot that did not do anything and it was not ultra sound guided. I am sorry you are not having any luck in the UK. I would say looking at my bills (which I did not pay anything because of insurance) the cost before insurance discounts were: $1200 for dr. $1900 to go to sleep! $8500 for the surgical center. (which my insurance paid about $1600 for it's discounts.) Insurance companies cut huge discounts with doctors and facilities. The only problem with doing surgery far from home is follow up care. It has been extensive....
Result number: 5 Posted by Andrew UK on 6/24/10 at 10:19 May I ask your doctor's name? My contact is Lawstu_uk at hotmail dot com I have been thinking to visit a friend in Glendale, near Phoenix, to have diagnosis. But I don't know which doctor to see. It seems like you have an excellent doctor and I can't believe you're in Phoenix AZ! ( yesterday I posted a message in the doctor's section for recommendation of doctors in AZ!) The healthcare in the UK is so great that although it is free, you'll need to wait months to see an orthopaedic surgeon. It is also very great that they advocate steroid injection for everything (from PT, TTS, etc) because it is very cheap for the National Health Insurance. Of course it is not ultrasound guided. I decided to pay private to see a top orthopaedic surgeon in on of the largest hospital in the most prosperous region. Yet he completely ignored my complaints of burning/cold sensation and pins and needles. (These were also ignored by two other specialists I paid privately) In fact, one specialist asked me to wear more socks when I said I had icy cold sensation with pins and needles up my legs! If you have health insurance in the US, you sure do have a much better care than here in the UK. But if you don't, then UK is better (it's better than nothing) Andrew
Result number: 6 Posted by Dale W. on 5/08/10 at 13:04 So I made a double batch of play dough, and flattened it into a glass rectangular baking dish. The dough needs to be firm and a little deeper than the inside edge of your arch. While sitting with your shin vertical, gently push your foot down into the dough right to the bottom of the dish. Now take a knife and while keeping the blade vertical cut the dough all away around your foot right down to the glass. (Careful not to cut your foot). Remove your foot, and remove all the dough where your foot was. Now you have a retaining mold that will give you the same effect as the cut out ply wood. Bake the mold in the oven at 350C for about 15 minutes to firm it up. When you take it out it will have distorted somewhat. Thats O.K. After cooling put your foot back on the mold and true it up again with the knife, removing more dough to give you an accurate shape of your foot. Make the mold about 1/8 inch larger than your foot all the way around. Now you are going to lay in the silicone. I tried this by first laying a sheet of Saran wrap on the mold and laying the wrap down into the foot area. Lay in the silicone about 1/2' deep. Either coat the foot with Pam, or vaseline. Push your foot into the silicone and only go down so that your heel and ball of your large toe is barely touching the glass. Remove your foot, let the silicone dry and you have a DIY orthotic. My first try was not too successful because I mixed two kinds of silicone. I only had partial amounts available. This technique needs to be tweaked, but with experimentation I'm sure we'll get it right. Have a nice day. Dr. Dale
Result number: 7 Posted by Dr. Ed on 5/04/10 at 23:54 Dale: I find it interesting that a person who goes to trade fairs to buy prefabricated orthotics at an inflated price is referring to prescription devices as a 'scam.' Dr. Ed
Result number: 8 Posted by Dale W. on 5/04/10 at 00:26 Silicone - DIY - Great Idea! I'm a retired farrier and I have worn custom orthotics for over 25 years. My first pair were the best, and I got them at a trade fair. Since then I've had two pair, and paid $300.00/pair. Is the market going to support $400.00+/pair orthotics? My 11yr old daughter requires them too, and she was just fitted for a pair today, I paid $400.00. (50% covered by insurance) This is a scam, taking advantage of insurance plans. I need a new pair NOW, but I have been thinking about how to build a pair. This silicone idea is great. When preparing horse foot support pads, I used to use silicone along with an epoxy hardener to reduce the setting time. I will try this for a pair for myself this week. I like the idea of using a wall to fence the margin of the foot and retain the silicone under the foot area. Will report back.
Result number: 9 Posted by Allie on 3/25/10 at 20:18 Yes and could it be attributed to that only 6% of 'President Dale Carnegie's' advisors have business experience? A bunch of dumb and dumbers leading us. I am waiting to see what happens to our taxes after the new year to cover this wonderful plan. Yipee and do you think our health premiums and deductibles will be raised by a significant amount too?
Result number: 10 Posted by dale a on 3/17/10 at 01:19 Hi Sandy; I am a 48 year old letter carrier and have plantar fibromatosis on both feet as well as polyneuropathy.My feet have all the same symptomes as you except my feet feel like their getting crushed in a vise.I was diagnois with plantar fibromatosis and fibromyalga around the same time in 1996.In 2001 I had the lump removed from the bottom of my left foot and in 2003 five smaller ones grew back.In 2004 one grew on my right foot.Two weeks ago I was told that I have polyneuropathy which is untreatable because they dont know the cause.Just after surgury in 2001 I felt numbness in three of my toes.I am going in tomorrow for blood work to find out what drugs they will put me on.For the last eight months I can only stand for one minute at a time ( with shoes on),my feet would swell,and when Im not on anti inflammatories the lumps them selves would swell and not my feet.My shoes are one size larger than my feet.I also have gerd.I do believe all my diseases are related.
Result number: 11 Posted by Rick R on 1/13/10 at 10:06 Nichalos was my father-in-law's name. He was born in Italy in 1905 on the Adriatic coast, just brisk swim from Greece. That Eastern area of Italy, Carbonada de Bari, was originally settled by Greeks, while Etruscans came from the west and Lombards from the North. It would have been tough to grow up named Baby, worse than a boy named Sue. There was a science teacher named Holt at my high school in Hinsdale. I think his first name was Terry. Any relation? My in-laws wanted to name my wife Laura but it was Loretta on her birth certificate. Some of her old friends from her grade school days still know her as Loretta because that's what the teachers called her. I think there must have been some confusion due to a wee communication barrier. Her dad spoke impeccable english, having come to the US in 1920 at the age of 15. But her mom is still hard to understand. She got here in 1953 at the age of 29. Rick
Result number: 12 Posted by Jeremy L, C Ped on 12/06/09 at 09:39 My apologies. That was the reply I made last month that made it into the ether. The short of it is that I believe you have too many considerations to bother trying to find shoes online. You best route, and least time consuming, will be to see an experienced individual who can better assess your needs first hand. Here are some of the suggestions I attempted to make earlier: Robert K Hall DPM 1211 E Broward Blvd Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301-2133 Phone: (954)467-8554 Dr. Sam M. Horowitz, C.Ped.

Result number: 14 Posted by Renee B. on 11/11/09 at 22:48 Hi all My Dad is 74 and has neuropathy in his feet but is not diabetic at all. I'm pretty sure his homocystine levels are normal and according to his doc he's not B-12 deficient (but he has yet to do the urine test which I think is the true determination of B-12 deficiency) Anyway he went to this other doc in Scottsdale AZ (we're in TX) and this doc wants him to take the Metanx. I'm familiar with neurontin, Lyrica & Cymbalta which have all been prescribed to him by various other docs (he's seen so many), but I advised against him taking these drugs because at his age I don't think he could take the side effects. Metanx sounds a lot less 'toxic,' but I'm wondering if it will have any benefit at all, or will it be just be 'pissing in the wind' as the one gentleman suggested? Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Result number: 20 Posted by Susannah Jacobs on 6/02/09 at 14:26 I have a question. Is it safe for someone with PF to wear high heels? I heard that it is good to have a small heel lift, but what about 'kitten heels' or sandales with a 1/2 inch high heel? What about 2-inch heels? Will they put too much pressure on the fascia? Will they not provide enough arch support?
Result number: 21 Posted by Ryan on 2/19/09 at 21:56 Jenny I'm no doctor but you might consider taking your husband to the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale Arizona if they will see him. All the Mayo Clinics are loaded with doctors that treat all the areas you mentioned in your post. Maybe having all the doctors under one roof would help the situation. Recently while in a doctors waiting room I picked up a magazine listing leading hospitals and Mayo Clinic seemed to be the number one hospital for most medical conditions. I don't know if they would cut off your husbands feet (that's a big one) but maybe they can help him overall. Sorry about the post on the wrong board Dr. DSW. I just wanted her to see the post and possibly consider Mayo Clinic.
Result number: 22 Posted by Ryan on 2/18/09 at 13:49 Hey William I found this on the internet after I typed in Grafton Technique. Didn't know what Grafton Technique was. An interest read but it doesn't talk about using it on toes. I wonder how the 'tools' were used on toes. Ouch. It was posted by someone on this site in 2004. Have you done any research on this subject? Posted by Elyse B on 6/14/04 12:43 Poster's previous posts Active Release Techniques and The Graston Technique: Do we have to choose? by Dale J. Buchberger, DC Doctors, chiropractic students, academic colleagues, athletic trainers and physical therapists ask me everyday, 'what do you think of Graston?' or 'what do you think of Active Release Techniques®?' Which one should I learn first or at all? First of all it is important to understand my activity and involvement with each technique before you can judge as to my objectivity in writing this article. I believe that my experience with each technique is what allows me to maintain an objective view on each technique. My scientific and academic background also lend to objectivity. Despite my best efforts I am sure that proponents from either camp will find criticisms with my views. But it is the debate that makes life interesting. I have been involved with practicing Active Release Techniques since 1992. I was amongst the first group assembled in Bensalem, Pennsylvania at a CCSP seminar when Dr. P. Michael Leahy demonstrated (on me) what has become known as Active Release Techniques or ART. Since that time I have been utilizing Active Release Techniques. I have been an instructor for Active Release Techniques since 1998 and have published several articles discussing Active Release Techniques. My involvement with Graston began approximately two years ago. I am now a treating investigator on a research project involving the use of GISTM (Graston) for repetitive strain disorders of the hand and wrist. For the last year or so I have been using both ART and GISTM in my practice and have discussed both techniques with patients, colleagues and students. The following is my explanation of both techniques, usage in private practice, as well as practicality in the chiropractic profession. I believe this is a rationale unbiased explanation of both techniques. From there you have to make your own choices; ART, Graston or both? Active Release Techniques Developed by P. Michael Leahy, DC. Active Release Techniques Soft tissue management system® is a manual soft tissue technique using the examiners hands to apply the technique. The main concept is to reestablish motion between fascial planes thus reducing fibrous adhesions and reestablishing neural and myofascial glide between tissues. The technique utilizes patient active motion when ever possible. A tension contact is used as opposed to compressive contacts used in other soft tissue techniques. The primary direction is to go with venous drainage during an ART treatment although reverse directions are occasionally used with appropriate modification. I currently use ART on 100% of my patients. My practice is specifically referral from patients, medical practitioners, physical therapists and chiropractors. The technique is applied to acute, chronic, overuse; repetitive strain injuries and NMS post operative cases of all types. The number of postoperative cases is growing constantly. The technique is dynamic, it only requires you to use your hands and contrary to popular belief a lubricant is not necessary when the technique is applied correctly. One rap on ART is that it is tough on your hands. This is true in two cases: 1) Every patient you treat is built like Arnold Schwarzenegger. And at that this would be if you were working on them from the hip to the knee exclusively 2) You are applying the technique incorrectly. This is the most common cause of sore hands and thumbs with ART use. Harder is not better! Using ART is actually a case of less is more! The other big rap is that the technique is too expensive to learn and that Dr. Leahy is entrepreneurial. 1) I would agree that Dr. Leahy is entrepreneurial. But the last time I checked this was the United States of America and that was legal. As a health care practitioner, if you open a private practice you are an entrepreneur as well. So if that's your beef get over it. 2) No other technique gives you an instructional ratio of 5-8 students per instructor; i.e. you get what you pay for. 3) No other technique provides the hours of hands on instruction, instructional manual, videotapes, protocol updates and puts patients in your office. 4) If you are not using what you have learned in an ART seminar on Monday morning then it was too expensive (then you should put the tapes and manual next to the stationary bicycle in your basement). 5) The protection of the technique is for consumer protection not Dr. Leahy's. If the technique were not right protected it would be watered down like every other technique and would be essentially useless to the consumer. As it is there are folks in health care claiming to do ART and quite frankly they don't have a clue. You have instructors at chiropractic colleges who have never taken a course but claim to teach ART. In addition to opening their institution up to a copyright infringement lawsuit they are also doing their students a disservice by falsely representing themselves as something they are not. When I refer a patient to an ART practitioner I am confident that they are receiving ART as I perform it and not some bastardized version of something that was passed down from someone who read an article on it and was never trained. As chiropractors we get upset when a non-chiropractor learns to manipulate from some minimal training. ART falls into this category. If anything, Dr. Leahy should be applauded for not only raising the bar educationally but attempting to improve professional integrity in a profession that continues to shoot itself in the foot by washing it's dirty laundry in public and looking for the 'cheap' way out (more on this socioeconomic phenomenon later). The Graston Technique (GISTM) Developed by David Graston who suffered a multiple ligament injury of his knee in an accident in 1987. The surgical reconstruction left him with limited range of motion. Having failed traditional physical therapy or orthopedic management he began using cross friction massage as described by Cyriax. The extensive manual work caused fatigue in his hands and he subsequently developed stainless steal tools to assist in the application of myofascial work on scar tissue. The Graston Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization technique is a soft tissue technique designed to mobilize, reduce and reorganize fibrotic restrictions in the neuromusculoskeletal system. The technique is delivered through the use of six (6) hand held stainless steel instruments. A specially designed lubricant must be applied to the skin prior to utilizing the instrument. The lubricant allows the instrument to glide over the skin without causing irritation. The special lubricant also allows the instrument to glide without causing an accumulation of the lubricant on the instrument as commonly happens with ultrasound gel on an ultrasound head. The treatment is applied in multiple directions: with venous drainage, against venous drainage and cross fiber in multiple directions to the lesion. As with other soft tissue techniques the treatment application is also part of the diagnostic process. As the Graston tools are applied a 'vibratory' sensation is felt through the tool to the examiners fingertips. The patient simultaneously experiences a similar sensation while the tool traverses the area being treated. I currently use The Graston technique on approximately 30% of my patients. I have found the technique to be very useful on 1) very chronic cases, frozen shoulder, de Quervains, etc. 2) Cases where ART, proper rehabilitation and other traditional forms of treatment have been ineffective. When using the Graston instruments the examiner must be careful to keep the tools clean and use appropriate grips. As the tools become slippery the examiner has a tendency to grip harder. This in itself can cause repetitive strain injuries to the examiner. Again keeping the tools clean will help avoid treatment-induced injury to the examiner. Although the Graston workshops are not as pricey as the ART workshops the tools do carry a heavy price tag. Graston does provide you with an instructional manual. It is my understanding that they are also working on a provider network similar to ART. Instructional videotapes are not available for the Graston technique. Unlike ART, Graston does not have an individual that the health care professions can complain to regarding cost of the tools and workshop. Therapy Care Resources (TCR) of Indianapolis, Indiana is the owner/manager of the Graston Technique. If there were an individual versus a company this may change public voice regarding cost of the instruments as is the case with ART. Read response from Graston Application of Both Techniques While using both techniques I have found that the Graston technique compliments ART very well and vice versa. Something that is not talked about very much is the necessity of the patient to undergo an exercise routine consisting of strengthening and flexibility exercises specific to their condition. Either technique falls short of it's maximal effectiveness if the patient does not comply with a balanced program of strengthening and flexibility training. I believe that the effectiveness of either technique is limited by: 1) The starting product. Is the patient de-conditioned and lacking sufficient muscular volume to apply the technique to? Are we applying the technique to tissue that has undergone fatty degeneration? How will this affect the duration and outcome of the treatment? 2) How long have they had the problem? 3) Once treated, will they go back and perform the injury inducing task again? Graston is a good precursor to ART when the patient presents with diffuse fibrous restrictions that for practical time and financial restraints are better treated with Graston initially. The examiner must realize that the goal of Graston is to create an inflammatory response and allow remodeling to take over from this point. This is contrary to ART, which attempts to establish motion without inducing a dramatic inflammatory response. Once the restrictions reduce and become more isolated, introducing ART into the treatment plan at this point has been a very effective scenario. Practicality in the Chiropractic Profession Both techniques will positively impact and compliment private chiropractic practice. Manual soft tissue techniques address an aspect of manual therapy practice (chiropractic) that joint manipulation cannot address. Adding soft tissue manipulative techniques to your practice will only improve your outcomes and expand the areas of the body and number of conditions you can treat rationally and effectively. This being said, Active Release Techniques is probably the more practical technique to introduce into chiropractic practice. It can be applied readily without the need of extra equipment. When properly trained the practitioner can treat a given region or condition in a reasonable office visit and compliment Chiropractic Manipulative Therapies (CMT's) immediately. Along the lines of reimbursement ART has begun the 'ART Elite Provider Network' (ART EPN). This is a PPO based on improved care with appropriate reimbursement for the service provided versus watered down care with ridiculously low reimbursement. In other words better treatment equals better outcomes and should receive better reimbursement. This is a great idea and hopefully it will flourish. The ART EPN is new and data is not available at this time. Graston, while it is a valuable adjunctive therapy to chiropractic practice can be less practical in areas of the U.S. where chiropractic reimbursement is limited to CMT or global fees. To repeat what I have stated earlier in this article, Graston is extremely affective in stubborn cases. These are the cases however where the majority of patient's will pay almost anything to get better. This reduces the reimbursement issue. Graston does add significant time to the office visit, especially if you follow the Graston protocol to the letter. If you alter the protocol to fit an increased number of patients into the office secondary to lower or no reimbursement then the effectiveness of the technique may suffer. In My Opinion Both ART® and Graston® techniques are invaluable adjunctive therapies for the practicing chiropractor. Both techniques provide an avenue with which to address the soft tissue component of the injury and treatment equation. Although chiropractors by their training have good manual skills when it comes to joint manipulation the DC education falls grossly short when it comes to soft tissue applications and skill. Since the chiropractic institutions are too busy arguing over who is going to control the political and financial arena of 'soft tissue' treatments or 'proprietary techniques' the student's pay the price of educational censorship. In fact students just want the information to give them a competitive edge in the market. The world is changing and it includes soft tissue management working in conjunction with joint manipulation and rehabilitative exercise programs. Chiropractic institutions need to recognize this or the physical therapy and athletic training professions will leave them behind. My recommendation is to learn ART first for the following reasons: 1) You get reacquainted with the anatomy we long forgot. 2) You get reacquainted with your hands and tactile sense. 3) It's dynamic. Wherever you are, you have your tools. 4) It is a system of diagnosis and treatment. 5) Continuing education in biomechanical education and application is available. 6) You actually get patients referred to you. 7) The athletic and occupational world knows what ART can do for them. 8) It makes sense. 9) You spent between 60-120K on your chiropractic education (depending when you graduated), the 5-8K you spend on ART won't kill you. 10) You can still be the first on your block to know something new and chiropractic students can enroll in ART workshops while in school for a significant discount. Then learn Graston (for students-you cannot take Graston until you graduate so this is an additional reason to take ART first). Graston gives you that added bullet in your arsenal to get those difficult cases better. When you combine ART, Graston, manipulation and rehabilitation you are the most complete NMS treatment machine. The bottom line is you should consider learning both techniques. You and your patients will be better for it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Depression is very possible if something isn't done and soon. Does Obama have the plan? 2.5 million new jobs. A two year plan. I really like the fact that Obama will be posting his radio addresses on Youtube. Yesterday....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1nz60J39eM&feature=channel http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/24/us/politics/24transition.html A member of the Obama economic advisory team, William M. Daley, acknowledged that because of the gravity of the situation, Mr. Obama was leaning toward letting a Bush tax cut for the wealthy expire on schedule in 2011 rather than repealing it sooner. There were hints Sunday that a stimulus package might be extraordinarily large. Austan Goolsbee, a senior Obama economic adviser, charged that the Bush administration had “dithered” as the economy turned down and suggested that the incoming administration would take dramatic action. “We’re out with the dithering, we’re in with a bang,” he said on CBS. A senior Democrat, Senator Charles Schumer of New York, said that any package should be as much as $700 billion, equivalent to the recent financial bailout plan.

Result number: 30 Posted by larry m on 11/12/08 at 11:40 Is this part of the change we so desperately needed? Obama's Ethics Rules Won't Ban Big Fundraisers From Transition By Jonathan D. Salant Nov. 12 (Bloomberg) -- President-elect Barack Obama is barring lobbyists from participating in the transition that will help install his administration. He will still leave room on his team for the rich and powerful. Top fundraisers and other well-connected supporters will serve in an advisory capacity before the Democrat takes office on Jan. 20. Five of the 12 members of Obama's transition advisory board raised at least $50,000 for his presidential campaign, and eight contributed the maximum individual donation of $4,600. Other transition team members include a partner in a lobbying firm and two executives of financial companies whose employees were among his biggest donors. ``If an Obama administration is going to sell influence, these are the ones who have bought it,'' said Craig Holman of Public Citizen, a Washington-based advocacy group that favors stronger campaign-finance and lobbying laws. Obama spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter defended the advisory board, saying it ``was selected based on the skill and experience of each member, and they are providing critical advice to ensure a smooth transition process.'' Transition co-Chairman John Podesta yesterday released rules banning registered lobbyists from raising money for the transition or working for the new administration in areas on which they represented clients. The new rules also prohibit members of the transition team who become lobbyists from trying to influence the administration on any issues that they worked on. Podesta called them ``the strictest, the most far-reaching ethics rules of any transition team in history.'' Bundlers Exempt The rules, however, won't prevent campaign fundraisers known as bundlers from serving. Valerie Jarrett, a transition co-chairwoman, raised between $100,000 and $200,000 for Obama, according to his campaign Web site. Two advisory board members, Julius Genachowski, managing director of Rock Creek Ventures, a Washington firm that invests in online companies, and Donald Gips, a vice president of Broomfield, Colorado-based Level 3 Communications Inc., each raised at least $500,000 for Obama. A third, Michael Froman, brought in between $200,000 and $500,000 for the campaign. Froman is a managing director at New York-based Citigroup Inc. The financial institution's employees and their families contributed $581,216, Obama's seventh-biggest source of campaign cash, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington-based research group. Campaign co-chairman William Daley, a vice chairman at New York-based JPMorgan Chase & Co., also sits on the advisory board. JPMorgan employees and their families were Obama's sixth-biggest source of donations, giving $581,460. Registered to Lobby Another board member, Mark Gitenstein, was registered to lobby through June, House records show. Gitenstein is a partner in the lawyer-lobbying firm of Mayer Brown LLP, whose clients include Dearborn, Michigan-based Ford Motor Co., which is pushing for government help, and New York-based Merrill Lynch & Co., which sold itself to Bank of America Corp. in September. Obama may be learning quickly that what sounds good on the campaign trail may not always be best for governing, said Costas Panagopoulos, director of Fordham University's Center for Electoral Politics and Democracy in New York. ``They want to find the most qualified people; some will have been donors,'' Panagopoulos said. ``It was probably shortsighted to make promises that such individuals would not be included in his administration.'' Plenty of Jobs The president-elect will have plenty of opportunities to fill jobs before he takes office. Podesta said he expects the transition to have a $12 million budget and employ about 450 people. With less than half that amount coming from federal appropriations, Obama's transition team will raise money privately, he said. As in the campaign, Obama won't accept money from registered lobbyists and political action committees, Podesta said. Obama raised a record $650 million for his presidential campaign as he became the first major party nominee to shun federal funds for the general election.
Result number: 31 Posted by john h on 11/10/08 at 16:22 Judy: I would not personally call it a 'landslide' when it comes to the popular vote. The last, what I would call a landslide, was when Regan won every state but one. Obama received 65,431,955 total votes. McCain received 57,434,084 total votes. Obama won by 7,887,871 votes. If my math is correct he then won by 6.4% of the total vote. That is a significant defeat but not a landslide. In 1984 Ronald Regan won all but one state against Senator Mondale. Regan won 525 electoral votes out of 538, the highest margin ever recorded. Regan received 58.8% of the vote vs 40.6 for Mondale. Now that is a landslide. We had a bad recession in 1981-1982 which probably led to this overwhelming defeat of Mondale. Somewhat the same scenario the Republicans faced this year. Obama and all should remember that there were 57,434,084 Americans who voted for McCain. These people are part of America and deserve to be heard. I think Obama will hear them and try to govern just to the left of center. Presidents who stray to far left or right often do not get re-elected. It is the Congress who could drift hard to the left as the Leadership in Congress weld enormous power and they are certainly hard to the left. It is still a sad thing that out of a population of over 300 million we could only turn out 122,866,079 voters. That is less than 50% and this was considered a good turnout. In a move long overdue, Senator Byrd of West Virginia will resign his post as Chairman of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee. He had been on that committee for over 50 years and he is now over 90 years old. He will likely be replaced by 84 year old Daniel Inouye of Hawaii. Senator Inouye is one of the last members of Congress who served in WWII and lost the use of an arm as a result of the war. At one time nearly all of our Senators and House members were former members of the military from WWII. They brought with them a perspective that will be missed in our House and Senate.
Result number: 32 Posted by David H on 10/09/08 at 22:58 Thanks Jeremy. I took a quick look online and found all shoes you mentioned, with exception of Saucony Grid Instep, which I could only find in women's shoes. I had not mentioned other shoes I have been wearing the past few months: Saucony Grid Omni Walkers - This has been an okay shoe, though it depends on which orthotic I use (Superfeet green or orange actually work better than my presciption orthotic). It also could be stiffer in the forefoot. Using Orange Superfeet with my carbon plates made the shoe too snug. New Balance 803 Court - This has plenty of space and is fairly stiff, but not ideal for hallux rigidus. When actually playing tennis, these work best with the NB stock insole and my carbon plates; I haven't tried the plate with the Superfeet or prescription orthotics. For work shoes, a local pedorthist put me in Dunham Holyokes and Oakdale Sports - these have been too flexible. I do have 3 more questions for you: 1) When I shop for shoes, what should I look for in with regard to where the flex point of the shoe is, particularly in relation to where the toe joint is. 2) When I walk, I tend to first hit on the outsides of my feet and roll in, but not much - is that underpronation? 3) A few months back, you had mentioned earlier about pre-preg fiberglass plates - would you know of a pedorthist in the Atlanta area who works with these and/or who is well versed in working with hallux rigidus? The current status of my hallux rigidus is that my podiatrist and I feel we have done what we can with conservative therapy (orthotics intended to try to restore motion, steroid injections). The next step would be surgery - he and an orthopedist have told me I'm not a good candidate for cheilectomy (my toe has more narrowing of the joint space than bone spurring) so fusion is what they would recommend. I'm really not ready to go there yet, so I would like to maximize what I can do with shoes and orthotics. The doctors have pretty left me to work with the shoe stores and pedorthists on these, so I do greatly appreciate the help and guidance you've provided. Thanks again.
Result number: 33 Posted by Jeremy L, C Ped on 9/10/08 at 19:40 The Progrid Guide is certainly a very well made athletic shoe. Based on your history of blistering, it will also likely help in that regard. As far as whether it's the right shoe for you, I would gauge part of that on where you did your shopping. If the fitter is experienced and knowledgeable, and had the option of fitting with a Progrid Ride (and chose that it wasn't the optimum shoe for you), then I wouldn't be too concerned. Please do keep in mind that most OTS orthotic devices are biased to the medial side, and will shift gait pressure to the lateral column. There is the potential that the combination of this shoe and your insert may be doing too much of a good thing. (What insert is it, anyway?) A couple other tips for you: 1. Absolutely, positively avoid cotton socks. They will gather moisture, make a more abrasive environment within the shoe, and increase your risk of blistering. Select quality socks made of wool or modern synthetic fibers that transport both moisture and temperature. My personal favorite brand is Bridgedale, out of Ireland. 2. You may benefit from adding shear resistant material to the front of your inserts, beneath the location of your toes. Moleskin should be fine; Shear Ban works better, and is way more durable.

Result number: 35 Posted by Jeremy L, C Ped on 6/28/08 at 19:24 I know what you mean. New Balance makes an okay line of hiking products, but they are not comparable in durability to more dedicated outdoor lines. If you are choosing the New Balances due to fit and/or shape, I do have better options for you. Most New Balance boots (as well as their sub brand, Dunham) are made on shapes similar to their SL-2 last. This provides a broader, more oblique forefoot shape compared to other New Balances (as well as other brands). Traditional hiking brands that will offer greater support, structure, water repellency, and stability include Garmont and Asolo. Some also possess a similar shape as the New Balance. Best options will also include a partial mesh upper with a Gore-Tex XCR waterproof membrane. The latter part is extremely important as it both keeps water out of the boot, plus assists the active expulsion of excess moisture from inside the boot. Traditional Gore-Tex does NOT do this in humid climates, so make sure it's XCR. Better socks will also assist in transmitting this moisture vapor, and Bridgedale is the only brand that Gore-Tex specifically recommends as they products actually makes Gore work better. My favorite is the Ventum Hiker.
Result number: 36 Posted by Jeremy L, C Ped on 6/27/08 at 15:46 Okay, here goes .... Question #1: I can offer you a definitive 'whatever works best'. Most of the time what we're talking about is a fit issue. On occassional basis, some orthotics perform better when not placed on top of a shoe's stock inlay. An example would be the classic Clark's oxford. That thing has a polyurethane inlay that is well beyond 1/4' thick. For those with significant medial or lateral stability issues, placing a prescription orthotic onto an inlay like that will only get greater instability and substandard results. All I can tell you is that this is on a case by case basis. If it feels better to you, then more often it likely is better for you. In situations where additional cushioning is required because of work duties and environment your doctor/pedorhtist can add an appropriate top cover material to the insert to permit that benefit. Question #2: I won't bore regular readers here with another diatribe from me on Crocs. Even the brand I prefer (Waldies) over Crocs has significant biomechanical consequences for certain foot types. Hence, I do not recommend them for primary footwear, with or without prescription inserts. There are a couple better options for you. If you are wearing cotton socks, nothing is hotter, wetter or nastier, especially in summer months. I am also not a fan of most acrylics, as they can also maintain a very high perception of heat. Trying one of the high performance wools is not only resistant to most peoples' allergies, it's about as cool of a summer sock garment as one may find. Solid fiber synthetics, like Cool Max, are other good options. Bridgedale is now using Be Fresh fibers in their Ventum sock line, which I have found to be utterly remarkable in both my skate boots and athletic/golf shoes. There are sandal options from a variety of brands that offer outstanding cushioning, but are far more supportive and durable than Crocs. Ones to consider come from Keen, Mion, Montrail and Durham. Teva and Merrell are also making some good options; however, careful selection must be made since some are completely lacking in appropriate levels of midfoot support. Going this route will also save you from compromising in fit and function.

Result number: 38 Posted by Dr Kiper on 4/22/08 at 17:40 Isn't it interesting that in this post you said you've only refunded three patients, when in a previous post you said in all the years you've been in practice you've only refunded 'TWO' pts. Either you must have just recenty refunded another pt since the earlier post or you're lying again like you did when you backpedaled to say you don't have plantar fasciitis, but you were walking barefoot and got it back again. PF doesn't work instantaneously like that. Your answers are amateurish, just like when you said you had 'significant relief' at first with the SDOs and then said you still have 'significant pain'--don't you realize that pain is part of the healing phase? What a nonsensical and ridiculous person you are. No wonder I can't keep up with you. As for extrapolating your product or anyone else's product is bad, just look at the numbers.
Result number: 39 Posted by Ann on 4/10/08 at 16:26 Hello, First--sorry long history before question: I have a problem in that I cannot find an athletic shoe that I can comfortably wear with my orthotics in (left foot, right foot is fine. I had five neuroma surgeries on my left foot with three incisions in the metatarsal space between the little toe and the fourth toe, so lots of scar tissue. I have since had cryosurgery several times and am pain free as long as I wear Birkenstocks. However, to walk in the mornings and go to the gym, I need gym shoes. The podiatrist made the orthotics (rigid with met pad). I have a very boxy forefoot. When he first made them, these shoes fit: Nike Pegasus 2004, 4E.. and Brooks Adrenaline GTS 5, I bought all I could, but since then nothing works. (The men's sizes ww were what I used). Since those two brands/years ran out every shoe, no matter the brand or the width or the size with my orthotic in, causes the scar tissue in the baby toe to throb. (The new My pod has no idea what to do. (Keen sandals fit okay, but do not have enough cushion for me.) So, my question is what do I do? Any ideas? Is it the orthotic? Or (gulp) me--Should I go to a certified CPed in my area (scottsdale) to try and adjust the orthotic? There are a couple, one is with foot solutions or do I need a custom built shoe? Thanks so much. Ann

Any Doctors reading this in total disbelief can kiss my A*S I am infuriated that doctors do not know about this. I am thankful that after many years of internet 'research' I was able to discover it. But it was only after visiting doctors in New Hampshire, Cleveland, and Detroit did I figure it out. Contrary to popular belief of foot doctors...it is not necessarily a foot problem, but it could be something else... Am I 100% pain free? No. 90% better is more accurate, and improving every day.

Result number: 43 Posted by scott r on 9/02/07 at 11:28 Dr Ed, when i'm looking at something to see if it can replace the tension in the PF like tape and psc, i look for non-flexible material anchored to the heel in some way that prevents the calcaneous from moving back. Ideally, it would follow the PF, connecting forward and as far beneath the arch as possible. This reduces tension in the strap. The higher up the strap is, the more tension is in it. For example if you connect the bottom back of the heel with a strap that goes over the top of the arch, there's going to be 2 or three times as much tension in it as there is in the PF. If this isn't obvious, think of the ankle as being the location of a hinge with the calcaneous and forefoot as the two pieces being hinged. The PF connects the endpoints of those two pieces of the hinge to keep them from seperating. If you move the connection point of one of the pieces half way towards the crux of the hinge (ankle complex) then you double the tension based on the leverage or torque principle. My point is that i can't understand your description of how to alter the application of the Stromgren - Double Strap Ankle Support to get the forward connection. i can see from the picture something at the bottom back of the and that there might be more to it on the medial side which is not shown.  The PSC looks better because its strap method goes from the back of the heel very much in the forward direction. Although the PSC connects over the arch which requires more tension as i mentioned above, the other half heads straight for the bottom and front of the foot like the PF. The part of the tension that goes over the arch is very well distributed with a really good material for doing the job. The manufacturer's picture of the PSC is not applied very well. It's too far up the back of the heel. See first pic below. I found a seller of it that shows a better application of it, closer to the bottom of the heel. See 2nd pic. Neither picture shows the other side which is more important.

Result number: 45 Posted by john h on 8/09/07 at 20:05 Huckabee was very popular with both Democrats and Republicans and would have easily won another term had not he been term limited. Arkansas is a very Democratic state. Maybe the most Democratic in the South. Clinton was never wildly popular except with the core Democrats. He could not even carry the state in the national election and that is hard to do being a Democrat. Hillary never did go over well in Arkansas. Until Bill ran for President she never gave up here name and was known as Hillary Rodham. This does not go over very big in this Southern state. She remained aloof from the people and has only been back to Arkansas a couple of times-to raise money. Bill, on the other hand is back often and has an apartment in his Library. Huckabee is a great speaker and speaks off the cuff very well. Down to earth guy. I had lunch with him and his wife during his first run for Governor. I could easily vote for him no matter what party he ran for. He tells you where he stands on issues and does not dance around them. He does not have very much money for the race. He is known for losing over 100 lbs this past 2 years and running in marathons around the country. Arkansas has a law that the state budget has to be in balance every yea. He was an excellent administrator. His wife strikes me as sort of a tom boy but is very nice and smart. She would not fit into the Washington scene very well in my opinion. He was on the Jay Leno show some months ago and at the time was living in a double wide trailer on the grounds of the Governor's Mansion. It was being remodeled. Lot of jokes about that. Strangely, Arkansas has produced some very Liberal Congressman such as William Fullbright, David Pryor, Dale Bumpers and of course Bill Clinton. I do not ever recall Fullbright coming back to Arkansas in my 35 years here. He remained in Washington after he left office.
Result number: 46 Posted by Jeremy L, C Ped on 7/31/07 at 12:22 Glad to hear are working out well for you. When you make the change into the current Adrenaline model, you should expect substantial improvement. The use of their MOGO midsole compound has enhanced the shoe's durability and cushioining far more than I expected. I don't have any serious reservations regarding the Jungle Moc for you. The last shape ought to be a pretty good match, and it does have a cushion pocket beneath the heel along with adequate shanking. Others to consider include: Merrell Throttle Moc, World Transport, and Omega Moc The latter's soling is built most similarly to the Adrenaline of these three models. HS Trask Cutter, Sun Valley and Rover Extraordinarily well made men's shoes. In my opinion, these are retail listed substantially less than they ought to be. Dunham Oakdale The best of their slip-on models. PW Minor Westside This is from a new Smart Casual collection for men to be released this coming spring. These are very well made for their forcasted price.
Result number: 47 Posted by JM on 7/15/07 at 13:46 Great info, thanks. I'd no idea about the Velocy's (or Innov-8) and I rightly or wrongly have avoided Nike's as I am very much a clydesdale runner at 230 lbs. I agree that the roll out of their shoe line has been underwhelming and maybe a bit clannish (or cult-ish, if you like)....While I was excited about the prospect of a shoe like theirs and hopeful that it would benefit someone like me, I had come to infer from the online chatter and the Newton website that they (Newton Running) weren't interested in the relatively low-mileage, average speed, non-Elite runner like myself. Moreover, Newton seems to be going after the serious Triathlete, which unless they're counting Sam Adams and ice cream consumption as the other 2 events rules me out completely. As always, Thanks for your time. JM
Result number: 48 Posted by Jeremy L on 6/30/07 at 15:46 Considering the nearly non-existant number of choices in women's lasted steel toed boots, it would likely serve you well to do a little homework and find someone near you with a good understanding of matching footwear for both fit and function. If you have a combination shaped foot (which many women do), it will be even more critical for your well being. In addition, if you are used to wearing cotton socks, it would be a good idea to make a change there. Cotton absorbs moisture, but fails to transport it or manage temperature well. You will likely find some improvement right away by switching to one of the better performance wool products (Bridgedale, Smartwool) or Coolmax. Best wishes for you.
Result number: 49 Posted by kareval on 6/16/07 at 15:26 I didn't realize there was such an extensive board here when I asked my question. Obviously, my POD did not give me any alternative to the Plantar Fibroma..just told me that he does surgery ALL THE TIME on them, and that it is very common...I didn't realize there were alternatates. Can you refer me to a doctor in the Ft. Lauderdale/ Miami area who would be willing to give me a better prognosis? Thank you for your time. Karen
Result number: 50 Posted by Dale G on 6/11/07 at 14:35 Is there some reason you trust diagnoses over the internet vs. seeing a real physician? ................................. I'm not doctor but it doesn't take a medical degree to known that the exact same thing could be said for almost all personal questions asked on sites like this. People who insist on asking questions about their personal situations instead of just for general information are begging for trouble and they will probably get it.
Result number: 51 Posted by ARIZONA on 6/06/07 at 15:16 As I posted in 6/1/06. ASTYM has worked for me real well. Did 7 treatments at $50 per session in Scottsdale, Az. in Aug. 05. It did take some time to heal from the treatments, about 2 months. But it worked! Sessions were painful in a good way because you knew healing was taking place. I still remember 5 years of dealing with PF from the start of 2000. I come to this board from time to time, but not in pain anymore. Glad to see that ASTYM is getting talked about, you all really need to try it. But do what ever works best for you and get over IT !!!!!!!!
Result number: 52 Posted by Joe on 5/25/07 at 15:02 Hello. I work as a law enforcement official in a penal setting. My job duties consist of running/responding to personal alarm devices as they are activated( usually run on the spur of the moment) I am now almost 43 years old, a bit overweight and a type 2 diabetic. I consider myself a 'Clydesdale runner'. Now I have been dignosed with moderate calcaneal spur and small posterior spur. I got a cortisone shot and orthotics, the doctor still wants me to rest. For exercise to keep the blood sugars down, I have resorted to swimming. I felt a tug on my foot when I swam for the first time and had to take an inflammatory to help the sensation. Could you lend some insight on my prognosis? Will I be able to run again? Also, does the piezoelectric wave treatment help?
Result number: 53 Posted by Ralph on 4/03/07 at 11:21 Not the one I was looking for but a very encouraging story. http://www.rsdalert.co.uk/stories/Lisonbee.htm Another paper I found by Dr. H. Hooshmand, M. D. says: 'The RSD patient has to learn that they will have pain with too much exercise, and the patient will have more pain without exercise. The patient will have to find a happy medium. The patient will have to rest and exercise frequently. Three days a week in the P.T. Department is not enough. The RSD patient should continue the instructions of the physical therapist from morning to night with equal periods of rest and exercise. The patient should learn from the human heart which beats approximately once a second for 80 to 90 years without taking a vacation. The reason is the heart beats half a second and rests half a second. The same principle should apply to physical therapy in RSD'. Neither of these is the article I was looking for. Still searching.

Result number: 57 Posted by Jeremy L on 2/26/07 at 10:22 Are they still trying to hock this program? Thorlo is a performance sock brand, manufactured about an hour east of me. They became big in the late 80's by changing from cotton construction to acrylic, and by strategically adding more padding around certain areas of the foot. The padding of the socks also took an enormous amount of space inside the shoe, reducing it's effectiveness for other key catagories, like soccer and skiing. As more athletes started trying this brand (especially runners and tennis players) they started to find that acrylic gets insanely hot during activity. The brand started losing market share in the late 90's and beyond as brands like Smartwool and Bridgedale started offering similar padding with less bulk and cooler temperatures. To combat this Thorlo started making shoes under license, and marketed them with their socks as a combo purchase to pedorthic centers. Although all of my colleagues in this region were approached by Thorlo under this program, I don't know anyone who bought into it. The shoes met the standards set by SADMERC for diabetic shoes, but I don't believe they actually received certification under Medicare. All in all, the shoes/socks aren't bad. I personally did not see enough value in the program to make it available to my patients. There are better socks and better shoes available at comparable pricing.
Result number: 58 Posted by john h on 2/21/07 at 09:54 Dale: Correction: all of my shots were from the SIDE>
Result number: 59 Posted by john h on 2/21/07 at 09:44 Dale: I have had four such shots and yes they were very painful. I have found that if you take a very very deep breath and exhale as he administers the shot it is much more tolerable. Remember it should only last several seconds. If it works it will be worth it. If it does not then you can cross that off your list. Did he administer the shot from the side or from the bottom. All of mine were from the bottom. I think that most of the Podiatrist include a small amount of pain killer of some sort along with the cortisone but that did not stop the pain. Good luck. John H (Little Rock

Result number: 61 Posted by marie on 2/09/07 at 18:12 Oh yeah her job........ The RNC, GOP if you will, has wasted 2 weeks playing politics and lying about nancy Pelosi who Bush has now given his full support. I can understand why Republicans may not respect or believe George W. Bush because little he has said in the past has been truthful either but this rukis has hurt their party perhaps beyond repair. You see the American people are sick of lies, deceipt, corruption and most of all they are sick of this CRAP! Lets see what Pelosi was doing.......... Pelosi Names Members for House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct http://speaker.house.gov/newsroom/pressreleases?id=0068 Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced today the Members of the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct. With their commitment to the highest ethical standard, this group of Members will serve with integrity, building on our bipartisan efforts to restore accountability, honesty, and openness to the House of Representatives. Pelosi said. _____________________________________________ From a commitment on tackling global warming, the Iraq War and National Security Nancy has been a busy lady doing the job the American people elected her to do. http://speaker.house.gov/newsroom/multimedia Republicans had nothing to share after the first 100 hours so they played their distraction card once again. The GOP counts on it's followers to fall for this stunt over and over again. Using the Washington Post, who pitched the Iraq War to the American people via reporters like Judith Miller (gag) and is owned by the MOONIES they sprang into action thinking no one would find them out. But the GOP was outed once again. Most of the Republicans have figured this game out and jumped ship.......now declaring themselves as independents. My advice for the GOP is stop playing this game you basically suck at and serve the American people that elected you. Your independents are anxiously awaiting the return of the REAL Republican Party. What went on this week.......I didn't find much at the RNC just a bunch of blathering Dem hate talk.

Result number: 63 Posted by kate on 1/23/07 at 16:11 Dale - You need to ask the surgeon because only he/she know what procedure will be done. Don't be afraid to ask this question and if you got any written materials, there might be something in them about asking for time off. By the way - you might also get FML forms (Family Medical Leave) from your employer (assuming this pertains) and if you have it, short term disability forms. If you are elegible for either/both, take the forms to your doc. Good luck!
Result number: 64 Posted by Dale C on 1/23/07 at 15:41 I'm going to have surgery on left foot how long will i be off work
Result number: 65 Posted by Jeremy L on 1/18/07 at 09:36 In addition to what Dr Wander stated, it's important to do something with excess sweat from the foot as it accumulates. Many get benefit from wearing the proper socks (like CoolMax or performance wools - Bridgedale, Smartwool, etc.). Just so you know, there are already a few brands which have patented technologies for increasing air flow to cool the foot. Usually they are channels molded into the soles of the shoes which are activated by pressures during the walking gait. Sort of like a bellows expels air, so do these shoes.

Result number: 68 Posted by Jeremy L on 1/06/07 at 08:31 As part of my duties as a pro skater, I hold summer camps. Picture in your mind, if you will, summer heat in the South radiating off of black pavement with your foot confined snugly in a skate boot. It gets HOT! I used Thorlo for one season, and I couldn't get over how miserable my feet felt. It took clammy and gross to new levels. Once the last child was picked up, I stripped off those socks as quickly as I could. After switching to performance wool fibers I have never experienced that uncomfortable feeling again. In fact, my feet typically feel worse once I remove my Bridgecale socks. Regarding padding. Although I consider Bridgedales to be well padded (as well as most of the athletic styles from Smartwool), they are not as thick as most of Thorlo's models. That said, I do believe that these wool products are denser, so the padding they do employ work better and last longer. I personally use Bridgedale's Trail models (both the crew and low cut) for most of my skating. The rare times I use a competition carbon race boot, I wear either thin Smartwool sock or one of Bridgedale's semi-thermal liners. I get the same outstanding moisture transport; however, there is very little or no bulk.
Result number: 69 Posted by LARRYM on 1/06/07 at 07:12 Jeremy, I do use thorlo sometimes. One issue I have is with eva topcover they seem to get "damp" or "clamy" feeling. Kind of warm but almost like the hold the moisture. I dont know if that is real moisture or if it is more a temperature things. Do the Bridgedale socks have the same soft cushion feel as the Thorlo? I know one good thing with Thorlo is the high thread count and softer feel, kind of like faine bed sheets vs hotel sheets that are rough

Result number: 71 Posted by Dorothy on 1/01/07 at 18:21 I like Smartwool also, haven't tried Bridgedale, but also recommend Thorlo. The Thorlo hiking sock is cushiony and they last a long time and they keep a comfortable heat/sweat level.
Result number: 72 Posted by Julie on 1/01/07 at 14:44 Jeremy, I agree that Bridgedale is a wonderful sock, but I agree with you even more about Smartwool. I wear mine (the light hiking weight) all the time, winter and summer, whether hiking Cretan mountains or London streets. I'm still wearing some that I've had for four years, and they're showing no signs of wear yet. Great socks! .
Result number: 73 Posted by Jeremy L on 1/01/07 at 10:33 My favorite sock brand (by far!!) is Bridgedale. They are an Irish company being distributed in the US by Garmont (www.garmontusa.com). What makes them special is their proprietary construction of fusing merino or new wool directly to synthetic fibers. In this way they are able to dramatically improve wear durability with these softer natural fibers, as well as fine tune the warmth/coolness and moisture transmission properties. On average their suggested pricing is more than most socks (range from $12 - $20 per pair); however, since my oldest pairs are still going strong after 3 years of wear, I consider them an outstanding value. They are also the best socks I have ever worn for my skating applications (teaching, marathons) and hiking. In fact, my feet usually feel worse if I were to take them off after activity. On a final note, this is the only sock brand recommended by Gore-tex, as it makes the breathable properties of their waterproof membranes work better. Second favorite is Smartwool. They also use better wool fibers, but do not have nearly the durability of Bridgedale. One advantage they have is producing lines of dress socks. They also have some fun styles made for women.
Result number: 74 Posted by Dr. Ramsey, D.C. on 12/20/06 at 08:33 I don't mean to interrupt your posts, but I came across this thread while inquiring about TTS. This syndrome seems to really have impacted your lives. Currently I am trying to help a pt with the same issues as you guys. I will be brief with my comments, and with due respect to all. Sciatica is a stubborn problem but needs to be handled by a capable chiropractor. Second, after the MRI, the problem still exists. Normal orthopedic testing should reveal the cause of the sciatica. The Dr. in the above thread was (I believe) speaking of the MRI in regard to discal protrusion in the spine. Feel free to mail me ( drramseyoakdale at yahoo.com ) Health to all.
Result number: 75 Posted by dr g. on 11/19/06 at 09:49 Anne how long did you have TT syndrome before surgery? If nerves have to regenerate as in long standing TT, then it can be more painful as they do regenerate. I would not panick yet. Try to get NueroEze Cream (Scottsdale Peripheral Nerve Institute) or EMLA cream (rx only). I also have patients use actiPATCH(YOUR DOC WILL HAVE TO ORDER IT).This is a 30 day stimulator thay may speed up healing and usually helps to decrease pain. There are many other "nerve pain" meds such as cymbalta, lyrica, neurotin, elavil etc..

Result number: 80 Posted by marie on 10/30/06 at 20:08 Liar, liar pants on fire. Ed, your burning up. No one is buying this crap anymore & that includes Republicans.This in from Vermont. The following editorial was brought to my attention by a GMD reader. It's an affirming read and spot on endorsements of Sanders and Welch - but what's of particular note is that it comes from the editorial page of the Herald of Randolph, a conservative paper. Editor and Publisher Dick Drysdale (who was kind enough to send the complete text for reproduction here, as it's currently behind the web site's subscription wall) is about as far from a wild-eyed left winger as you can get: http://greenmountaindaily.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=599
Result number: 81 Posted by oma on 10/26/06 at 22:52 Dear Hope: For every ailment, I believe that God has or will inspire individuals to create that technology or if it's totally from nature, He has that here also. Go to www.electromedicine.com and read the patient info. I tell you it works and stops pain long term and for all different types of things. There is protocol for RSD. CRPS?? I'm not sure what that stands for. All I know is this is a miracle machine and you need it. I'm not just at the stage of hope, I have seen it. I mentioned earlier the Mayo Scottsdale Clinic put it in their budget for 2007 after three staff members were pain free after the 45 minute treatment. The one gal 6 weeks later, still pain free in her "80 year old Knees" and not limping. Some doctors are using it for saving people's limbs that are scheduled for amputation, e.g. as diabetic that has severe venous flow. It increases blood flow. It stimulates electrical and chemical changes in the cell. Sure, I sell them but just go to that website and see if there is a doctor close by that has one. I believe you need this therapy. I believe it will work for you. You can read the studies on their websites. No more do we have to be at the mercy of drug companies for pain relief, pain medications that will make you dependent on them, lessen your facilities, and fatten their pocketbook, and most with horrendous side effects. How many attorney commercials do you see every day, "Have you taken such and such and now have whatever they myriad of problems may be?" It's ok to be hopeful. There is an answer. I've seen it work miracles on my family, my friends, doctor's patients How helpless we feel when a family member is in pain and your doctor really doesn't know what to do? Sincerely, Oma Z
Result number: 82 Posted by Auntie on 10/10/06 at 12:38 A Middle East expert and best-selling author says the new military alliance between Russia and Iran could be the sign that an ancient Old Testament prophecy may be fulfilled in the current generation's lifetime. Joel Rosenberg, a Messianic Jew and Mideast scholar, recently released a book called Epicenter: Why the Current Rumblings in the Middle East Will Change Your Future (Tyndale House). He believes the recent arms pact between Tehran and Moscow is a dangerous development, with Russia clearly joining Iran in the "axis of evil." Rosenberg believes this new military alliance may have biblical implications. "The ancient Hebrew prophet Ezekiel, writing 2,500 years ago, described an alliance between Russia, Iran, and a group of other Middle Eastern countries that would encircle Israel in the last days and try to destroy her," he notes. "Now the strange thing about that prophecy," the author points out, "is that there has never been a Russian-Iranian military alliance since the prophecy was written, until now.” However, he is quick to add, "Now, does that mean that the prophecy’s imminent, in terms of coming true? I would be hesitant to draw that conclusion yet." But, even though he is not prepared to state that what Ezekiel 38 and 39 foretold is on the verge of fulfillment, Rosenberg says, "I’ve got to tell you, it’s certainly worth noting, because this is a relationship that has never existed." Never, in the 25 centuries since the ancient prophecy was written, has a military alliance existed between Russia and Iran. "Now it does," the Middle East expert says, "and you have to start to wonder, 'My goodness, is it possible for this major cataclysmic Bible prophecy to literally come true in our lifetime?’ On a side note - I am so tired of hearing Pres. Bush (and other prominent people) saying "nucular"! (not really politically important, but it gets on my nerves...sounds hick-ish.)

Result number: 86 Posted by Dr. Ed on 9/21/06 at 19:56 They should use Linux instead of Windows. Yeah,I remember how the Kennedy clan rallied the political bosses to create votes for John F. in 1960. Mayor Daley of Chicago ensured a win for Kennedy. The entire state of West Virginia was handed to Kennedy. Nixon knew that he won the popular vote but decided that it was best for the country not to challenge the election unlike Mr. Earth in the Balance.
Result number: 87 Posted by larrym on 8/14/06 at 17:51 Katrina Victims Blamed for Houston Crime By PAUL J. WEBER, Associated Press Writer 1 hour ago HOUSTON - A letter to inmate No. 1352951 and a cell phone bill for $76.63, both found in a soggy New Orleans duplex ruined by Hurricane Katrina, led Louisiana bounty hunter James Martin to Texas. Again. It marked the seventh time since Katrina that Martin, whose pursuit of bail jumpers often begins with clues salvaged from abandoned New Orleans homes, has followed a trail to Texas. "I don't think Texas really knows what they got," Martin said. Katrina sent a lot of bad guys to Texas, as Houston is finding out. Houston took in 150,000 evacuees _ the most of any U.S. city _ after Katrina struck on Aug. 29. Houston police believe the evacuees are partly responsible for a nearly 17.5 percent increase in homicides so far this year over the same period in 2005. About 21 percent of Houston's 232 homicides through July 25 involved an evacuee as either a suspect or a victim, according to police, who attribute much of the bloodshed to fighting among rival New Orleans gang members. "New Orleans allowed a lot of these guys to stay on the street for whatever reason or be picked up and released after 60 days," said Capt. Dale Brown, who oversees Houston's homicide division. "Texas law, I don't want to say it's tougher, but we take these offenses very seriously." Judge Robert Eckels, chief executive of Harris County, which includes Houston, said Katrina evacuees arrested in the Houston have cost the county's criminal justice system more than $18 million. In June, Texas Gov. Rick Perry sent $19.5 million to Houston to help pay for additional officers and overtime to police the city after Katrina. The police and the Harris County sheriff's department said they have no figures on how many Katrina evacuees have been arrested. Houston police said misdemeanor and felony arrests overall actually dropped last fall from the same period a year earlier. But the sheriff's department reported a 41 percent increase in felony arrests in November from the year before. "I think some saw (Katrina) as an opportunity," Martin's bounty-hunting partner, Michael Wright, said of evacuees who fled New Orleans with criminal records. "No one knows who they are over here." Katrina evacuees received fair warning when they arrived in Houston. Days after the storm, Mayor Bill White went on television, flanked by Houston police, and welcomed Katrina's bedraggled survivors with a stern warning that a jail cell was waiting for anyone who crossed the line. Evacuee Vincent Wilson, a leader of the Katrina Survivors Association, was impressed. He said that in New Orleans before Katrina, "everyone knows that if the jail's crowded you get a slap on the hand and get released." Eckels predicted the county's worst guests will go home once their federal assistance dries up. And if many choose to stick around, the county will be ready: "We don't put up with it here. If you break the law, you're going to be prosecuted."
Result number: 88 Posted by Oma Z on 8/04/06 at 21:42 Dear Michael: There is a machine that we sell to doctors. It is electro-analgesic. It has clinical studies that showed 200 knee osteoarthtitis patients went off their pain meds, mainly for long term, up to three years. It is the most amazing equipment I've ever seen. I treated a friend that had his knee torn up 20 years ago and 3 treatments later he was pain free. IT is used for all pain. I call our demo unit, "Jesus in a Box". I hope that doesn't sound sacraligous. I don't know where you live but I could probalby find a doctor or talk to your doctor about it. My husband separated his shoulder, was in horrible pain for 3+ months, after three treatments, no more pain. Four months later he had to do another series of three treatments. It costs $33,000, (the machine to the doctor) can be billed. Wonderful for circulation. Some doctors have used it to save limbs from amputation as it increases blood flow. The contraindications are localized baterial infection (it could cause it to spread), hemmoraging (increases blood flow), pacemaker (electro-medicine), pregnant uterus, cancer (the inventor from Germany, told us that it only works on Europeans as they use it to treat cancer in Europe, but it's a no-no here.) He brought interferential therapy (short term electro-medicine treatment). The Mayo Clinic-Scottsdale PT is getting one since all three of their PT staff were pain free at the end of their first treatment. The one gal with the "80 year old knees needing surgery" was still pain free 6 weeks later and still not limping. It spreads the pain chemicals out so that they are not at the threshhold to feel pain. It works on the biochemical and bioelectrical components of the cell - depolarizing them. It is most incredible. It's called Horizontal Therapy since it uses the fm frequency and not the am like most short term electrostim. Carpal tunnel patients have avoided surgery. They then had my husband speak to all of the PT clinics monthly meeting in Phoenix. I have no doubt it will work for you. God Bless.
Result number: 89 Posted by john h on 7/17/06 at 18:53 Dr. Z. There may be some questions about the legality of using a daisy cutter under some rules of war. Of course these rules of war are only good so long as they serve your purpose. When anyone is backed ito a corner anything is used. You would not want to be within a mile radius of where one of these babies hit. When they hit they let loose a lot of gas of some sort that rapidly spreads in a circle on the order of half a mile in all directions. At that time there is an ignition and an explosion that will break your eardrums and level every tree in the circle. The could create helipads in an instant. To this day there probably is nothing more fearful (outside an atomic weapon) than a B-52 with its enormous payload dropping bombs from 40,000 feet. You do not hear the bomber or hear the bombs until they start hitting in a string for what seems like miles. The old B-52 is over 50 years old now is scheduled to fly through 2020. Some of our Desert Storm missions were in excess of 35 hours long. Barksdale,La to Iraq and back non stop. Our B-1s flew from Missouri to Iraq and back non stop but they flew much faster. Todays fighters fly 8-10 hour combat missions with air refueling. That really takes it toll on the body. Try fling an 8 hour combat mission and then come back and make a night weather carrier landing with the ship tossing up and down with zero margin for error. The Daisy Cutters we had in Vietnam weighed in at about 15,000 lbs and could only be dropped out of the back of a C-130 by a parachute. With guidance systems we have now you could place one in someones back yard. They were rather top secret at that time but it is hard to keep the troops from seeing a 15,000 lb bomb. We had one that fell unintended in Laos in 1968 and did not go off. I was assigned to go and try and pick it up with a large helicopter. I could not budge it. They may have called in a Crane helicopter which can lift just about anything.
Result number: 90 Posted by john h on 7/13/06 at 19:49 We all meet heroes every day and do not even know it. Making it though your life and raising your children and getting them through school is often a heroic effort. Many military heroes you will never read about or hear about. They will die a lonely death with no one looking or cheering them on but will be doing their job. We run across single moms working two jobs and making on their own with little help from anyone. You will see a Policeman who last night may have walked into a dark alley in a bad area by himself with no backup. No one was there but he did not know it. Pat Tillman the starting DB for the AZ Cardinals quit his multi millionaire job to join the Army Special Forces with his brother. He was shot and killed in Afganistan the next year. Mr. Rogers, the quite man on TV who did all the childrens shows for years was one of the first to hit the beaches at Okinawa and was awarded the Silver Star. Their are heroes all around you but you want hear it from them. Roy Rogers and Dale Evans took in so many children to raise it is hard to believe (seems there were 13 or more). One of my Doctors recently quit his practice to go to Guatamala to treat the poor.

Result number: 94 Posted by john h on 7/03/06 at 19:02 Scott: When you enlist in the military you commit to obeying orders and going where you are sent. You do not pick your station or you do not pick your wars. That is what makes the military a cohesive force. It makes no difference if your Commander In Chief is George Bush or Walter Mondale. When you get your marching orders you march. I have been a Private and I have been a Colonel and I have served under Presidents Kennedy on forward for 21 years. I never questioned whether they were liberal or conservative or Democrats or Republicans. A lot of men and women have died between July 1776 and today giving us all the right to post what we like within the limits of common decency. When you enter the military you give up some of your rights. The highlight of my life has been my military service. Many may think I must have lived a limited life if that is the case. I still get tears when the flag goes by and I am an unashamed American Patriot.

Result number: 97 Posted by Jeremy L on 4/02/06 at 09:50 I truly admire what Smartwool has done to energize the market and public interest in better-made socks. They, however, are not the innovators in the treatments and selection of wool for more comfortable wear. The Scots, Irish and Kiwis have bene practicing these techniques for decades. The difference is in marketing power. Smartwool is actually not a manufacturer. They are a marketing company which contracts with garment makers, and distributes/advertises the finished product. There's nothing wrong with that. Phil Knight and Nike have made a pretty decent living doing similarly. Companies like Bridgedale and Thorlo (and countless boutique weavers in Scotland and elsewhere) created the technologies and own the looms themselves. With that kind of intimacy with their own products, I usually find better finish and quality control. Savvy shoppers can also sometimes find knowledgable retailers who contract out to have better socks made for them, under private label. One major outdoor retailer in the southern Appalachians has done that in the past (Mast General Store). these are usually made on the same looms as Smartwool products, using the same finished wool fibers, and at an even more attractive price. Happy shopping to everyone!
Result number: 98 Posted by Jeremy L on 3/30/06 at 21:02 I would have to challenge some of what that article states. Although I am a firm believer that cotton is a substandard fiber for socks, there are many shearings of wool fibers which are far superior to synthetics on a case by case basis. Soft, first cuts from merino sheep is a perfect example. After standard treatments prior to spinning, merino wool better manages moisture and temperature than polypropelene, acrylic and polyester. When merino is fused with select synthetics (as Bridgedale does) it is also incredibly durable. Nevermind shoes, when I teach my summer skate camps every fiber I ever tried made my feet scorching hot (Charlotte pavement in summer's radiating heat always helped) and sickeningly damp. Only when I wore modern performance wool socks (Bridgedale and Smartwool, to be exact) was I completely cool, dry and comfortable. To be honest, my feet only felt worse when I finally removed the socks at the end of the day.

I believe that my experience with each technique is what allows me to maintain an objective view on each technique. My scientific and academic background also lend to objectivity. Despite my best efforts I am sure that proponents from either camp will find criticisms with my views. But it is the debate that makes life interesting. I have been involved with practicing Active Release Techniques since 1992. I was amongst the first group assembled in Bensalem, Pennsylvania at a CCSP seminar when Dr. P. Michael Leahy demonstrated (on me) what has become known as Active Release Techniques or ART. Since that time I have been utilizing Active Release Techniques. I have been an instructor for Active Release Techniques since 1998 and have published several articles discussing Active Release Techniques. My involvement with Graston began approximately two years ago. I am now a treating investigator on a research project involving the use of GISTM (Graston) for repetitive strain disorders of the hand and wrist. For the last year or so I have been using both ART and GISTM in my practice and have discussed both techniques with patients, colleagues and students. The following is my explanation of both techniques, usage in private practice, as well as practicality in the chiropractic profession. I believe this is a rationale unbiased explanation of both techniques. From there you have to make your own choices; ART, Graston or both? Active Release Techniques Developed by P. Michael Leahy, DC. Active Release Techniques Soft tissue management system® is a manual soft tissue technique using the examiners hands to apply the technique. The main concept is to reestablish motion between fascial planes thus reducing fibrous adhesions and reestablishing neural and myofascial glide between tissues. The technique utilizes patient active motion when ever possible. A tension contact is used as opposed to compressive contacts used in other soft tissue techniques. The primary direction is to go with venous drainage during an ART treatment although reverse directions are occasionally used with appropriate modification. I currently use ART on 100% of my patients. My practice is specifically referral from patients, medical practitioners, physical therapists and chiropractors. The technique is applied to acute, chronic, overuse; repetitive strain injuries and NMS post operative cases of all types. The number of postoperative cases is growing constantly. The technique is dynamic, it only requires you to use your hands and contrary to popular belief a lubricant is not necessary when the technique is applied correctly. One rap on ART is that it is tough on your hands. This is true in two cases: 1) Every patient you treat is built like Arnold Schwarzenegger. And at that this would be if you were working on them from the hip to the knee exclusively 2) You are applying the technique incorrectly. This is the most common cause of sore hands and thumbs with ART use. Harder is not better! Using ART is actually a case of less is more! The other big rap is that the technique is too expensive to learn and that Dr. Leahy is entrepreneurial. 1) I would agree that Dr. Leahy is entrepreneurial. But the last time I checked this was the United States of America and that was legal. As a health care practitioner, if you open a private practice you are an entrepreneur as well. So if that's your beef get over it. 2) No other technique gives you an instructional ratio of 5-8 students per instructor; i.e. you get what you pay for. 3) No other technique provides the hours of hands on instruction, instructional manual, videotapes, protocol updates and puts patients in your office. 4) If you are not using what you have learned in an ART seminar on Monday morning then it was too expensive (then you should put the tapes and manual next to the stationary bicycle in your basement). 5) The protection of the technique is for consumer protection not Dr. Leahy's. If the technique were not right protected it would be watered down like every other technique and would be essentially useless to the consumer. As it is there are folks in health care claiming to do ART and quite frankly they don't have a clue. You have instructors at chiropractic colleges who have never taken a course but claim to teach ART. In addition to opening their institution up to a copyright infringement lawsuit they are also doing their students a disservice by falsely representing themselves as something they are not. When I refer a patient to an ART practitioner I am confident that they are receiving ART as I perform it and not some bastardized version of something that was passed down from someone who read an article on it and was never trained. As chiropractors we get upset when a non-chiropractor learns to manipulate from some minimal training. ART falls into this category. If anything, Dr. Leahy should be applauded for not only raising the bar educationally but attempting to improve professional integrity in a profession that continues to shoot itself in the foot by washing it's dirty laundry in public and looking for the "cheap" way out (more on this socioeconomic phenomenon later). The Graston Technique (GISTM) Developed by David Graston who suffered a multiple ligament injury of his knee in an accident in 1987. The surgical reconstruction left him with limited range of motion. Having failed traditional physical therapy or orthopedic management he began using cross friction massage as described by Cyriax. The extensive manual work caused fatigue in his hands and he subsequently developed stainless steal tools to assist in the application of myofascial work on scar tissue. The Graston Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization technique is a soft tissue technique designed to mobilize, reduce and reorganize fibrotic restrictions in the neuromusculoskeletal system. The technique is delivered through the use of six (6) hand held stainless steel instruments. A specially designed lubricant must be applied to the skin prior to utilizing the instrument. The lubricant allows the instrument to glide over the skin without causing irritation. The special lubricant also allows the instrument to glide without causing an accumulation of the lubricant on the instrument as commonly happens with ultrasound gel on an ultrasound head. The treatment is applied in multiple directions: with venous drainage, against venous drainage and cross fiber in multiple directions to the lesion. As with other soft tissue techniques the treatment application is also part of the diagnostic process. As the Graston tools are applied a "vibratory" sensation is felt through the tool to the examiners fingertips. The patient simultaneously experiences a similar sensation while the tool traverses the area being treated. I currently use The Graston technique on approximately 30% of my patients. I have found the technique to be very useful on 1) very chronic cases, frozen shoulder, de Quervains, etc. 2) Cases where ART, proper rehabilitation and other traditional forms of treatment have been ineffective. When using the Graston instruments the examiner must be careful to keep the tools clean and use appropriate grips. As the tools become slippery the examiner has a tendency to grip harder. This in itself can cause repetitive strain injuries to the examiner. Again keeping the tools clean will help avoid treatment-induced injury to the examiner. Although the Graston workshops are not as pricey as the ART workshops the tools do carry a heavy price tag. Graston does provide you with an instructional manual. It is my understanding that they are also working on a provider network similar to ART. Instructional videotapes are not available for the Graston technique. Unlike ART, Graston does not have an individual that the health care professions can complain to regarding cost of the tools and workshop. Therapy Care Resources (TCR) of Indianapolis, Indiana is the owner/manager of the Graston Technique. If there were an individual versus a company this may change public voice regarding cost of the instruments as is the case with ART. Read response from Graston Application of Both Techniques While using both techniques I have found that the Graston technique compliments ART very well and vice versa. Something that is not talked about very much is the necessity of the patient to undergo an exercise routine consisting of strengthening and flexibility exercises specific to their condition. Either technique falls short of it's maximal effectiveness if the patient does not comply with a balanced program of strengthening and flexibility training. I believe that the effectiveness of either technique is limited by: 1) The starting product. Is the patient de-conditioned and lacking sufficient muscular volume to apply the technique to? Are we applying the technique to tissue that has undergone fatty degeneration? How will this affect the duration and outcome of the treatment? 2) How long have they had the problem? 3) Once treated, will they go back and perform the injury inducing task again? Graston is a good precursor to ART when the patient presents with diffuse fibrous restrictions that for practical time and financial restraints are better treated with Graston initially. The examiner must realize that the goal of Graston is to create an inflammatory response and allow remodeling to take over from this point. This is contrary to ART, which attempts to establish motion without inducing a dramatic inflammatory response. Once the restrictions reduce and become more isolated, introducing ART into the treatment plan at this point has been a very effective scenario. Practicality in the Chiropractic Profession Both techniques will positively impact and compliment private chiropractic practice. Manual soft tissue techniques address an aspect of manual therapy practice (chiropractic) that joint manipulation cannot address. Adding soft tissue manipulative techniques to your practice will only improve your outcomes and expand the areas of the body and number of conditions you can treat rationally and effectively. The management difficulties arise with time and reimbursement or the proverbial "bottom line". In some U.S. States DC's can be reimbursed for soft tissue manipulation (STM). In many states however reimbursement for STM's is not common and getting patients to pay for these services outside of their HMO/Insurance coverage may be like pulling hens teeth until they are at the end of their rope. Now I am sure there are some very good business people in certain geographical areas of the U.S. who are receiving both patient and insurance reimbursement for STM's. These however are not the masses. For example: New York State workers compensation reimbursement is around $26 (rounded up!) regardless of what service is performed. For a practicing chiropractor to pay the bills and feed a family treating 2-3 patients per hour at $26/visit is absurd. Considering what we pay for the additional training, we should be reimbursed at a fair and reasonable rate for the service that is provided. Not because of the additional training but because the additional training allows us to provide a better service that leads to improved outcomes. This being said, Active Release Techniques is probably the more practical technique to introduce into chiropractic practice. It can be applied readily without the need of extra equipment. When properly trained the practitioner can treat a given region or condition in a reasonable office visit and compliment Chiropractic Manipulative Therapies (CMT's) immediately. Along the lines of reimbursement ART has begun the "ART Elite Provider Network" (ART EPN). This is a PPO based on improved care with appropriate reimbursement for the service provided versus watered down care with ridiculously low reimbursement. In other words better treatment equals better outcomes and should receive better reimbursement. This is a great idea and hopefully it will flourish. The ART EPN is new and data is not available at this time. Graston, while it is a valuable adjunctive therapy to chiropractic practice can be less practical in areas of the U.S. where chiropractic reimbursement is limited to CMT or global fees. To repeat what I have stated earlier in this article, Graston is extremely affective in stubborn cases. These are the cases however where the majority of patient's will pay almost anything to get better. This reduces the reimbursement issue. Graston does add significant time to the office visit, especially if you follow the Graston protocol to the letter. If you alter the protocol to fit an increased number of patients into the office secondary to lower or no reimbursement then the effectiveness of the technique may suffer. In My Opinion Both ART® and Graston® techniques are invaluable adjunctive therapies for the practicing chiropractor. Both techniques provide an avenue with which to address the soft tissue component of the injury and treatment equation. Although chiropractors by their training have good manual skills when it comes to joint manipulation the DC education falls grossly short when it comes to soft tissue applications and skill. Since the chiropractic institutions are too busy arguing over who is going to control the political and financial arena of "soft tissue" treatments or "proprietary techniques" the student's pay the price of educational censorship. In fact students just want the information to give them a competitive edge in the market. The world is changing and it includes soft tissue management working in conjunction with joint manipulation and rehabilitative exercise programs. Chiropractic institutions need to recognize this or the physical therapy and athletic training professions will leave them behind. My recommendation is to learn ART first for the following reasons: 1) You get reacquainted with the anatomy we long forgot. 2) You get reacquainted with your hands and tactile sense. 3) It's dynamic. Wherever you are, you have your tools. 4) It is a system of diagnosis and treatment. 5) Continuing education in biomechanical education and application is available. 6) You actually get patients referred to you. 7) The athletic and occupational world knows what ART can do for them. 8) It makes sense. 9) You spent between 60-120K on your chiropractic education (depending when you graduated), the 5-8K you spend on ART won't kill you. 10) You can still be the first on your block to know something new and chiropractic students can enroll in ART workshops while in school for a significant discount. Then learn Graston (for students-you cannot take Graston until you graduate so this is an additional reason to take ART first). Graston gives you that added bullet in your arsenal to get those difficult cases better. When you combine ART, Graston, manipulation and rehabilitation you are the most complete NMS treatment machine. The bottom line is you should consider learning both techniques. You and your patients will be better for it. Response from Graston: GT was developed and proven in clinical trials at Ball Memorial Hospital and Ball State University in Muncie Indiana Purpose of the technique is for the diagnosis and treatment of soft tissue dysfunction The instruments are used to break cross-fiber links, splay fibers and increase fascial mobility When clinically indicated, GT is used to re-initiate the inflammatory process, stimulating the healing cascade by introducing small amounts of micro-trauma to the tissue resulting in a proliferate invasion of blood, nutrients and fibroblasts to the region resulting in collagen depreciation and maturation GT is currently in the core curriculum at Bridgeport, National College, Northwestern College and in the kinesiology graduate curriculum at Indiana University for athletic trainers. It is also on track to be an elective at NYCC, Cleveland Kansas City and Palmer- West. Clinic faculty at CMCC have been trained in GT and the Technique is used with some limitation there. There are currently 5 research projects taking place on the Technique as follows: NYCC - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Texas Back Institute - Lumbar Spine Range of Motion Post Surgical Fusion Louisiana State University - Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization: Effect on Strength and Range of Motion St Vincent Hospital Indianapolis Indiana - Comparison of Outcomes of GT Instruments with other Rigid Tools Indiana University School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences - Effects of Instrument-assisted Cross Fiber Massage on the Biomechanical and Histological Properties of the Collateral Ligament in a Rat Model As to pricing, this is not posted on our website because it is a PUBLIC site. We do not feel that the general public should be privy to the cost to the clinicians to become a GT provider. We always make available the total cost of the GT Instrument Package via fax or phone. In the event of any complaint, we have two provider relation representatives to answer questions, complaints and/or forward the call to Carla as Director of Operations or to me, as clinical director. We also offer direct contact with our instructors to answer questions of a clinical nature. Richard E Vincent DC Exec VP Director of Clinical Services Graston Technique 508-457-5057 References
