Nice, but I do not actually want any metal pins in my bones though, in fact I go into hospital on sep 5th to remove all the metal and in both my legs and now have appointment on October 15 to look at inserts and balancing me so will settle on the inserts

Nonsurgical Treatment

For minor limb length discrepancy in patients with no deformity, treatment may not be necessary. Because the risks may outweigh the benefits, surgical treatment to equalize leg lengths is usually not recommended if the difference is less than 1 inch. For these small differences, the physician may recommend a shoe lift. A lift fitted to the shoe can often improve walking and running, as well as relieve any back pain that may be caused by the limb length discrepancy. Shoe lifts are inexpensive and can be removed if they are not effective.

If your talking about shoe raisers then Col's Cobble shop is your man. After my girls crash he does all her shoes for a 14mm difference. Good guy and cheap.

We were told ACC are only interested for a 15mm or greater difference.

ACC pay for two shoes per year to be raised. If I want the other 22 shoes done I pay for them myself. Rob is correct, the coble Balmoral is only about $30 or so for my 12mm raise. For compensation for leg length discrepancy it has to be 15mm or more.

You need to get your doctor to request to ACC that you need shoes raised, if the leg discrepancy is from the accident they have to fund two a year.

Inserts may not give you the same stride. A raised sole on the other shoe is like walking with two same leg length legs.

Cheers for the info Sharry. I got given an insert to try the other day by someone from a hospital wow what a totally amazing difference.


It is such a shame that acc is run like the welfare system though ie if you do not ask you do not get.


I also believe I am owed 236 weeks of CORRECT income from them also and my lawyer will awnser that after the 6th of this month when back from his holiday

The only trouble with inserts is that they can make the shoe tighter due to the insert taking up room. Plus you can get summer sandles raied that cannot take inserts.

It makes such a difference walking with equel leg lengths
