Don’t buy orthotics from ‘fly-by-night’ operators

Dr. Allan Horowitz, published newspaper article, The Liberal, Copyright January 16, 1991


In last week’s column I discussed some of the causes and treatments of a common condition known as ‘shin splints’.

One of the possible aids which is often used in protecting athletes from acquiring shin splints is something called ‘orthotics.’ Orthotics cannot only prevent shin splints, but can also be used to treat the various biomechanical conditions which have caused shin splints and therefore are often used when the condition has already become well established.

Here are some car trip survival tips

Dr. Allan Horowitz, published newspaper article, The Liberal, Copyright April 17, 1991


Today’s column will be a continuation of last week’s “Helpful Hints for Travelling with Children in the Car.’’ As I mentioned last week, this information was sent to me by the Ministry of Transportation, and the ministry feels that happy, contented children on a motor trip will relax everyone in the car, including the driver. This results in a more careful, attentive driver, and therefore less accidents. Last week the suggestions were regarding safety of children in the car.
