(There was no single event leading to the pain and it has continued for several months as a chronic condition.) The physical therapist's exam revealed over pronation in both feet and that her right tibia is 1/4 inch shorter than her left tibia. I have worn orthodics in both shoes to correct over pronation my entire life and wonder if my daughter's knee problem would not be helped by orthodics and/or a lift to correct the tibia disrepancy. Is this a possible treatment for a 12 year old? Should we be seeing a podiatrist along with the physical therapist?
