you can't even walk around to re-
lieve them.
At any rate, when the patients
arrive at the DOCTORS Office, they
are usually distinguished by hav-
ing an AL crouch. They have
been led along various paths of du-
bious treatments with all sorts Of
hopes held out for them and no re-
lief in the end.
They have been misled by all
sorts Of advertising aids and semi
specialists and usually bring bag
Of various kind. Of arch supports
and devices accumulated over the
passing years. This eloquent re-
minder of past failures is put on
the foot specialists desk with a
sort Of attitude which says, 81 dare
you to try to give me some relief"
Has Many Complaints
The fellow with bad feet has
both general and local complaints.
He is fatigued, irritable and I'M
happy. His heels ache. pains
shoot up from his ankles, or the
discomfort may center entirely
about the arch.
Obviously in handling these pa
tients the specialist will take into
account the general as well as the
local condition. The patient doesn't
always necessarily and inevitably
need arches. Perhaps his condition
is due to a lifelong habit of walk
ing badly. So the first step in the
examination of such a patient is TO
get him to walk around and see
how he does it.
Badly Distributed Weight
His foot may be strained be-
cause something is the matter with
his lower back, hip, knee or ankle
joint, or because he has continued
over a period of years to distrib-
ute his weight badly. Perhaps
there is a history of strain on
some part of his foot that makes
him unable TO bear that weight on
it. The color of his skin is impor-
tant, as well as signs Of infiam-
nation such as bursitis, planter
warts. callosities or bunions.
After this the feet are studied
in relation to the weight-bearing
function, and an X-ray is indispen-
sable in disclosing painful bone
conditions that are otherwise not
clearly evident on physical exami-
nation. Not only shoes. but socks
are checked for adequate size.
In the long run, however, the es-
sential thing about most foot con-
ditions is the use Of proper shoes.
Again this means an individual ad-
justment of the shoe to the require
ments of the patient. A shoe that
may be all right for one person is
by ne means necessarily all right
