Isn't it time to finally get painfree?

Piscataway, NJ- An innovative doctor’s office adds another element to their complete head to toe package with a certified pedorthist. Family Foot & Ankle Specialists, a podiatrist office in Piscataway and Hillsborough, NJ is a one stop shop for all of your foot care needs. Complete with a medical spa, physical therapy, nutritional supplements and now, a Certified Pedorthist, Family Foot & Ankle Specialists wants to ensure the community is educated about their foot health. A Pedorthist is a specialist in using footwear such as shoes, shoe modifications, and orthoses. They are highly skilled at using footwear to solve problems with the feet and lower limbs.

“People do not realize their footwear greatly influences their feet, and can create or eliminate pain,” says Dawn Lewis, Certified Pedorthist at Family Foot & Ankle Specialists. Eighty five percent of people are wearing the wrong size shoes. This can cause many unnecessary foot problems such as bunions, ingrown toenails, hammertoes and more. “Footwear is an essential part of a treatment plan when the foot or lower limbs is involved,” continues Dr. Peter Wishnie, DPM, owner of Family Foot & Ankle Specialists.

Pedorthists create foot orthotics that will help to support the foot and provide a regular gait (walking) pattern. Orthotics can be custom molded to suit your foot or may be pre-molded. Orthotics are great for those suffering from plantar fasciitis (heel pain), athletes, people suffering from fallen arches, and those simply experiencing pain. “It’s usually during the summer season that people realize how much their feet hurt during limited activity. Just a walk around the park can cause crippling pain for many people,” says Ms. Lewis.

Orthotics will force your foot to walk correctly while adding support to the arches. It is not normal to experience foot pain. When your feet hurt, they are asking for help. Orthotics provide missing support while correcting an abnormal walking pattern. Pedorthists have the experience to get you the best orthotic for your foot type. A Pedorthist will choose the best shoe, including shape and size, for your foot type. These simple adjustments can provide you with the pain relief you’ve been searching for.
