As a practitioner, you know foot pain should be addressed as soon as possible, as pain in one or both feet can potentially lead to impairment of foot function. But rather than treating foot pain with over-the-counter pain and anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, or prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or even corticosteroid injections for chronic foot pain, why not try red light / infrared therapy?
Correction
In the Jan. 1, 2001 "News in Brief," which was bannered on the front page, we identified ICA President Dr. Robert J. Hoffman with the photo of Dr. John A. Hofmann. We apologize to both doctors for the misidentification.
Contrary to appearances, we do know the difference between Robert and John, as we've spoken of them numerous times in DC.
- Dr. Robert Hoffman (2 f's, 1 n) was elected president of the ICA at the association's 73rd annual convention, May 20-23, 1999 in Atlanta, Georgia, which we reported on in the June 14, 1999 issue of DC.
- Dr. John Hofmann (1 f, 2 n's) wrote the "View from the Field" column for DC (1994-1995). He is an active member of the ICA and was the ICA's "Chiropractor of the Year," an honor we reported on in the June 4, 1993 issue of DC.
