They are the only specialist I see anymore as they also prescribe braces.
Just curious as to what type of braces you will get. I know you mentioned orthotics once and they would be custom made I'm sure and they just go in your shoe. AFO (Ankle Foot Orthosis) - braces - are quite different as you know. Thanks for your reply.
