In my experience, they DO have useful suggestions, but they are often buried in in the list that you mention. When I had pain in my foot, the options given me were:
1) Get orthopedics 2) Have us zap your foot with our electro-device regularly 3) Steroid injections 4) Stop tying your shoes so tight 5) Surgery
I ended up doing (1) and (4), but after leaving the orthopod orbit, I realized that (4) would have done it by itself.
