- Foot Surgery: How To Know When It's Needed
By: Ian Ray | - Yet, if you or I were asked when the last time was that we visited a podiatrist, we would probably say, Never. Why would I want to see one of them? Foot doctors are for wimps."

- Hammertoe Can Be Lessened By Wearing Proper Footwear

- Quality Shoes For People With Plantar Fasciitis

By: Kent Smith | - When most people think of shoes with orthopedic support, they think ugly. I am certainly no stranger to this phenomenon. I had to wear orthopedic shoes for the first six years of my life and no matter how many times my mother told me they were special, to me the shoes looked hideous. Wearing special shoes meant that I didnt get to choose the shoes I wanted, that I had limited selection when it came to style and color (yes, this does matter to a five year old), and that I had to ...

The lead character in that movie played a Vietnam veteran, a veteran with one leg.
