QuestionHi Doctor,
My lower back hurts -- need high comfort shoe as this helps tremendously but can never seem to find the right company. Can you recommend something that is good for someone on their feet a lot ? Have purchased otc orthotics and they help thank you
AnswerLynn,
I would recommend custom prescription orthotic devices that are made by a Podiatrist, especially if the OTC variety works.
If you are able to wear a running shoe, New Balance is often a good choice.
I would also consider seeing a Chiropractor or other Specialist to make sure all is well with your back.
Consider physical therapy, weight loss, sit-ups.
Hope you feel better.
