Does your very first step out of bed in the morning feel like you are stepping directly on something sharp?

That heel pain is the hallmark sign of Plantar Fasciitis. When you sleep, your inflamed arch ligament tightens up; your first step stretches it back out.

Don't just "walk it off" while the ligament tears further! From targeted stretching routines to prescription custom orthotics, Dr. Debra Manheim and the team at Step By Step Family Foot Care can help you permanently overcome the inflammation.

Check out our step-by-step guide to beating heel pain on our latest blog, or call our Parsippany office at (973) 917-3785 to schedule your evaluation today: https://stepbystepnynj.com/a-step-by-step-guide-to-plantar-fasciitis/

🚨 World Arthritis Day Fact: Did you know that severe ankle sprain you suffered in high school 20 years ago could be the reason your ankle aches today? It’s called Post-Traumatic Arthritis, and it happens when an old injury accelerates cartilage breakdown in the joint.

Thanks, Mom and Dad. 🙄🧬

Did your parents give you your sparkling personality? Great. Did they also give you that painful, bony bump on the side of your big toe? Not so great.

Welcome to the Bunion Club! Despite what you’ve heard, your favorite pointed heels didn't cause your bunion (you can blame your inherited foot structure for that). But squeezing into those tight shoes is definitely making that bump angry and accelerating its growth.

Read our new step-by-step guide to learn exactly what is happening to your big toe joint and how to manage the pain: https://stepbystepnynj.com/a-step-by-step-guide-to-bunions/

Roller derby is a full-contact, high-adrenaline sport that demands agility, power, and mental toughness. But behind every flawless crossover and crushing block is a pair of feet taking a serious beating. Between the rigid structure of derby skates, the repetitive circular motion of the track, and the sudden impact of toe-stop maneuvers, it’s no surprise that skaters frequently deal with lower extremity pain.

The culture of derby often encourages "skating through the pain," but ignoring foot and ankle issues can quickly sideline your season. That’s why we wrote this Step By Step Family Foot Care checklist for common derby injuries. It covers when it is safe to handle them at home…and when it’s time to call in a professional! https://tinyurl.com/4wtp5phr

If your standing desk leaves you with swollen ankles and throbbing heels by the end of the workday...

Your healthy habit might actually be doing more harm than good. Standing perfectly still for hours shuts down the vital calf muscle pump that pushes blood back to your heart, causing painful blood pooling and constant tension on your arches.
