Being Grateful for Good Foot Health

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family from Middlesex County podiatrists Dr. Jason Grossman and Dr. Paul A. Osemene and everyone at Advanced Feet and Ankle Care!

 When we think about what we’re grateful for, our patients are at the top of the list. We’re also grateful to receive the care that we need to stand, walk, run, and play comfortably. What about you? Are you grateful for any of the following?

• We’re grateful that nature has arranged the 26 bones of each foot into a series of delicate arches that allow humans to stand and move upright, unique among all species on earth.

• We’re grateful for the over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments in each foot. We know, when they’re strong and healthy, we can move through our daily activities free from discomfort. We also know if we experience issues like tendinitis, our podiatrist can provide an examination, diagnosis, and treatment.

• We’re grateful for the over 7,000 nerve endings in each foot. These make it possible for us to note small injuries and report them to an experienced foot doctor so we can receive prompt, expert treatment.

• We’re grateful for the abundant food such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources like chicken and fish that help us stay healthy and reduce our risk of illnesses such as diabetes.

• We’re grateful to be able to buy comfortable, sensible shoes that keep us stable throughout the day and help keep us safe from falls that could lead to foot and ankle injuries.

Keep feet, ankles, and lower legs healthy with regular visits to an experienced foot doctor like Jason Grossman, DPM, and Paul A. Osemene, DPM.
