If you are experiencing painful swelling in the back of your foot just above the heel, you may be suffering from Achilles Tendonitis. This troublesome condition affects the Achilles tendon, which is the strongest and largest tendon in the body and connects the leg to the foot as it stretches from the lower leg to the heel bone.
Typically occurring in both feet, brachymetatarsia is a condition characterized by a short metatarsal. The foot has five metatarsals and this condition results in one shortened toe. If more than one of the long bones of the foot is affected, it is known as brachymetapody.
The causes of brachymetatarsia are genetic or situational, meaning that you can be born with it or it can be induced by premature closure in the metatarsal growth plate due to a trauma.If you suffer from brachymetatarsia, you may find it difficult to properly balance or smoothly transfer weight across the toes when walking or running.

Most often found on the inner foot near the big toe but sometimes located on the fifth toe, bunions are a painful yet common condition caused by inflammation of the bursa. Bursa resides in the connective tissues of the bodies and is essentially a small fluid filled sac. The inflammation and thickening of these sacs creates a problematic bone formation that forces the toe out of alignment and causes great discomfort.
It is rare to find someone who walks with both feet in perfect alignment. Often we walk on the inside or outsides of our feet, or with our toes or heels rotated inward. These typical walking patterns can cause many problems not just with the feet but also for the whole body as the alignment of the feet sets the foundation for the whole body's alignment.

Great staff! Very knowledgeable and welcoming! I was afraid of pain, but DR was great and eased my concerns and I had MINIMAL pain. My procedure was quick but thorough. The office was very clean and well kept. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a podiatrist. I wish I could give more stars! I would go back if I was in need again!

Omg.... I just want to say the best experience I’ve ever had , the staff is super friendly. And the doc that worked on me was so honest and sweet as well . He was honest with all he did and it was fast . He made sure I was not in pain during the whole procedure. I’ll definitely recommend this place hands down .

Dr Rick helped me last summer when I broke my toe. He really knows everything about feet and caring for them. He gave me a boot to wear while I was healing and his treatment was thorough. I would recommend Dr. Rick Ginsberg to anyone experiencing foot or ankle problems. He has top notch staff who are easy to work with.
