We usually don’t give a second thought to how we walk. You stand up, put one foot in front of the other, and get where you’re going. However, when your feet aren’t working right, you develop what we call a gait abnormality. These changes are often your body’s way of protecting itself or signaling an underlying issue.

Have you stared at the small aisle of one-size-fits-all insoles at the drugstore, wondering if a $20 piece of gel is going to fix your aching arches?

Here is the lowdown on how to gear up, courtesy of Podiatry Center of New Jersey.
There is a condition where a perfectly normal arch slowly gives up and collapses in adulthood. We at Podiatry Center of New Jersey refer to this formally as Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD), and we’re going over it in this blog.
You might think it’s a weird bug bite or a sudden allergic reaction, but it’s actually a classic winter condition we at Podiatry Center of New Jersey have seen before. No, it’s not an infection, but a circulation issue called Chilblains. We’ll explain more below.
At Podiatry Center of New Jersey, we never look at foot problems in a vacuum. Even slight abnormalities in your walking pattern or foot structure can worsen or, even worse, cause something like plantar fasciitis. In fact, that’s what we’re talking about today.

My toddler enjoyed her experience and I know she will be cooperative because her podiatrist told her he will help her with "Gotta go fast! Like Sonic!" What more can a father ask for?
Easy to schedule same day appointments. The staff was very nice and welcoming. I was seen by Dr. Eric Freiler with minimal wait time and he was probably one of the best doctors I have ever seen – he seems to genuinely care and explained everything perfectly. I came in for foot pain and he took the time to really evaluate what was going on and offer potential solutions/outcomes – he’s super smart and I trust all of his responses to my concerns.
We can help. Schedule an appointment today.
