Heel pain is one of the most common foot issues affecting people of all ages. Whether it’s a sharp pain when you wake up or discomfort after a long day, knowing the cause is key to finding relief.
When you experience foot or ankle pain, it’s essential to seek the right care. A foot and ankle surgeon is a medical expert specializing in treating conditions affecting the lower extremities, from minor injuries to complex surgical procedures.
If you suffer from pain due to tendon damage, you may be eligible for a minimally invasive procedure called Tenex. This is ideal for those who may have pain in the rotator cuff, tennis or golfer’s elbow, or runner’s knee. Advanced technology now offers a way for people to find relief without a lengthy procedure and recovery process.
Do you worry that the procedure may be invasive, painful, or limiting of your daily routines?
The Doctor Who show is an in-depth interview with local doctors to showcase who they are as a person, what drove them into their profession and specialty, some of their likes and dislikes and other fun insights into each doctor. It gives the viewer a look at the doctors as a person, not just a clinician.
Ankle sprains are fairly common and can happen while playing a sport like basketball or while out on a run, or even during every day activities like twisting your ankle while getting out of a car or walking down the sidewalk.

Wearing your favorite shoes can become a major chore when you have an untreated bunion. Know that help is available—you can get relief for your painful, aching bunions by seeing podiatrist Dr. Affan Akhtar at Optimal Ankle & Foot in Fort Lee, Wayne and Clifton, NJ.
