A sharp ache in your heel after getting up from your desk or stepping out of the car can make the first few steps surprisingly difficult. When heel pain is worse after sitting or resting and eases somewhat as you move, plantar fasciitis is a common possibility.
Noticing a lump on the top of your foot can be concerning. Some foot lumps are harmless, but the cause is not always obvious from appearance alone. The podiatrists at Podiatry Center of New Jersey explain several possible causes and when a new or changing lump should be examined.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re walking on a pebble or experienced burning pain between your toes, you may be dealing with Morton’s neuroma. This common foot condition affects the tissue surrounding a nerve in the ball of the foot, often causing discomfort that worsens with walking or wearing certain shoes.
There’s nothing better than spending a summer day at the beach, strolling on a boardwalk, cheering at a sporting event, or exploring a theme park. But after hours on your feet, your shoes may suddenly feel tighter than they did that morning. Swollen feet after summer activities are common, but recurring or painful swelling shouldn’t be ignored.
It’s not unusual to see toddlers walking on their toes as they learn to balance and explore the world around them. In many cases, children naturally outgrow this habit. However, if toe walking continues beyond the early toddler years or suddenly develops later in childhood, it may be worth having your child’s feet and gait evaluated.
If you’ve been dealing with nagging back pain, your feet may not be the first place you think to look. However, the shoes you wear every day can have a significant impact on your posture, alignment, and the way your body moves.
Does it feel like you’re walking on a bruise even though you don’t remember hurting your foot? You’re not imagining it. A bruised sensation in the foot can develop without a specific injury and may be a sign of an underlying condition that needs attention. Whether the discomfort is under the heel, the ball of the foot, or along the arch, persistent pain should never be ignored.
Whether it was new shoes that needed to be broken in, a stylish shoe for a special occasion, or simply footwear that seemed “close enough” in size, it’s common to wear shoes that are a bit too tight.
Many people assume bunions are purely a cosmetic issue. While bunions often start as a small bump at the base of the big toe, they can gradually become more painful and begin affecting your daily activities. Knowing when a bunion needs treatment can help prevent worsening symptoms and protect your long-term foot health.
Most people do not spend much time thinking about their toenails unless there is a problem. However, changes in your toenails can sometimes provide important clues about your overall health.

I was with my aunt who had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Carter. Man oh man was he an excellent provider. He took his time explaining everything to her and she did not feel rushed once. Even though her English isn’t the best, he made sure she understood everything. He removed an ingrown and to this day she’s very pleased with the pain relief and results. I would definitely recommend them!!

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.
