In Brooklyn, where life moves fast and walking is often the quickest way to get around, your feet bear a lot of responsibility. Whether you’re commuting through the boroughs, enjoying a weekend walk in the park, or hitting the pavement for a run, the impact on your feet can eventually take its toll. If you're dealing with pain, (in your heels, arches, knees, or even your lower back) it might be time to consider what’s underneath your shoes: custom orthotics.

Ankle pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek the expertise of a podiatrist. Your feet and ankles are hardworking structures that support the entire weight of your body, absorbing shock with each step. But despite their strength and resilience, the complex network of bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles can become injured or inflamed. Understanding the cause of your ankle pain is the first step in effective treatment and recovery.
