The experienced podiatrists at Central Jersey Ankle & Foot Care Specialists treat rheumatoid arthritis on a case-by-case basis because every patient has different symptoms and needs. Relieving pressure on irritated and inflamed areas is often the first goal. Specialized shoes, such as Vionic shoes with Orthaheel technology, can give you optimal foot and ankle support while relieving pressure from painful joints. If you’re suffering from other foot problems like corns and calluses or foot wounds, your podiatrist can remove the dead tissue and restore your healthy skin. Your podiatrist will review all the treatment choices with you so you can decide the best way to manage your rheumatoid arthritis long term.
