$1200 for a pair of Orthoses. Seems cheap! I assume they mean $1200 for the left foot and $1200 for the right foot?
Yesterday I visited the dentist to have a loose crown cemented back into place. By the time my Dentist was done, I got a bill for $6000+.
I think the the Orthoses are a great deal!

IS YOUR DENTIST NAMED ORENSTEIN ? Staying with that dentist is like staying and paying the APMA.

Dang that’s more than insurance would pay for surgery. More power to the doc!! Good for him/her if that’s what the patients pay! It’s not the devices, it’s the VALUE of the pain relief and improved function.

You can get similar relief for $12.95 at the Dr. Scholl rack. You know, that BUSINESS THAT owns a foot school in Chicago. Show me where those quack finger measurements, quactograph, and fake gait analysis TRULY makes a STATISTICAL difference than an OTC INSERT. FOOT TECHNICIANS HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED OVER THE 4 YEARS TO BELIVE ORTHOTIC BIOMECHQUACTICS ARE SCIENTIFICALLY VALID. Even the biggest arch SUPPORTER argues that the theories are in error and not really proven.

The truth hurts your delusion doesn’t it. Too bad you don’t take your frustration out on podiatry, your quack college, the APMA, and liar in chief PM news.

don’t u wish u could do more ? You can’t though. You’re on the LOSING SIDE. NO DEFENSE. NO FUTURE. NO HONESTY. NO MD DEGREE . just the fantasy YOU NEED to rationalize a medical school rejection. Get over it. YOU ARE NOT A DOCTOR.

Harry Truman said, “Show me a politician who gets rich while in office and I’ll show you a crook”. Now let’s see what can we say about APMA officers and presidents ?

So many opinions here. Fun fact -648 1st year students began podiatry school in fall of 2021!

648/9 =72 per school on average. Not even a thousand for ALL the quack colleges. One MD MEDICAL SCHOOL HAS MORE THAN THAT TOTAL PER SCHOOL! High Schools have greater class numbers than foot school. There’s JUST NOT ENOUGH FOOT BUSINESS IN PODIATRY TO BE SUCCESFUL WITHOUT ADVERTISING AND CREATIVE BILLING. Podiatry is still a duplicative elective BUSINESS. It was never designed to be a real medical profession, just a business

Irving! I told you Dat podiatry was a nice little BUSINESS. CHARGE SCHMARGE. SOME SUCKER WILL PAY and those schlemiels with dat surgical-schmurgical boards will make the same as you. Give ’em the biomechquactics talk. Ya know, humans weren’t meant to walk on man made surfaces. Give ’em the rear foot varus compensated mumbo jumbo and watch them walk PRETENDING LIKE YOUR SEEING SOMETHING NO M.D. COULD SEE. Paint their footsy with gentian violet after you measured with your fingers and QUACK toe graph. It’s a show. Give ’em a good one and charge charge charge. That’s the podiatry legacy… Read more »

He needs total foot and ankle reconstruction with 12 weeks of physical therapy at the Podiatrists office, of course this is all dependent on his insurance. If there is no insurance then a nice running shoe will do. ( we have those also)
