General Practitioners

Arthritis
Plantar Fasciitis
Do you experience heel pain in the morning or after sitting for a long time? Chances are you have plantar fasciitis or heel spurs. Heel pain is one of the most common complains in the foot care world. Most of the time, pain is caused by the inflammatory condition known as plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is caused by the inflammation of the fibrous tissue on the bottom of the feet (plantar fascia). This tissue, which supports the arch of your foot when you walk, is attached to the heel bone and fans forward into the ball of the foot. Abnormal motions or stress can cause breakage of the fibers resulting in pain and swelling. The pulling of the plantar fascia on the heel bone often causes the development of the heel spur. The presence of the spur doesn’t cause pain but overstretching, swelling and degeneration of collagen fibers at the heel bone does.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care

Ultrasound
There are some good techniques you can use to slow the deformity and minimize pain. Start by wearing shoes with a wider toe area. Or get yourself some custom shoe inserts known as orthotic devices to reposition the foot inside your shoe to decrease pressure. You can also pad the bunion and/or tape your foot to keep it in a normal position. To treat pain and inflammation, we can prescribe anti-inflammatory medication or provide cortisone injections. For a more active bunions treatment, physical therapy techniques like ultrasound therapy can treat bunions and associated soft tissue issues.
X-Rays

Sciatica
Wound Care
Our diabetic wound care services offer a comprehensive treatment for acute and chronic wounds. We customize treatment plans for every patient addressing sugar control, foot circulation, presence or absence of sensation and the need to offload or cushion the area.
Ankle Surgery
Anthroscopic ankle surgery requires precision and skill. At the Family Foot & Ankle Center of Central Jersey, we offer you both. Dr. Holli Alster is Board Certified in rear foot and ankle surgery, placing her in the top five percent of podiatric surgeons in the country. When you need ankle surgery, trust the surgeon other surgeons trust.
Bunions
A bunion is known as a hallux valgus deformity, which is more or less a large bump on the side of the big toe. This bump is caused by the misalignment of the bones causing the big toe, the hallux, to point toward the other toes. Bunions are a progressive disorder, and the misalignment is usually followed by arthritic changes within the joint causing pain and discomfort.
Reconstructive Surgery
One of the top podiatrists in Monmouth County, Dr. Holli Alster ranks among the nation’s most highly trained foot and ankle physicians, with dual board certification from the American Board of Podiatric Surgery in foot and rearfoot and ankle reconstructive surgery. Dr. Holli Alster and our friendly, highly skilled staff are committed to keeping you healthy and on your feet. Serving all of your foot and ankle concerns, we treat all of our patients like family with a combination of excellent medical care and compassion.

Eczema
Fungus
Have you ever seen someone with thick, yellowish toenails? Or do you have them yourself? It’s probably onychomycosis or nail fungus – a common medical condition in patients with diabetes.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Physical Therapy
No two ways about it, this injury requires surgery. Recovery involves six weeks non-weight-bearing in a cast, then three to four weeks in a walking boot with physical therapy for several weeks to regain strength.
Flatfoot Correction
Heel Pain
Ankle Sprain
Whether it’s a small chip off the anklebone or a major dislocation shattering many bones, ankle fractures are occur when the ankle rolls. Often mistaken for an ankle sprain, ankle fractures cause pain, swelling, bruising, redness, and difficulty walking or moving the ankle joint. When dislocated, you may see blistering or an abnormal appearance of the ankle. If bone is seen protruding through the skin, get to the hospital immediately.
Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

General Podiatry
NJ podiatrist Dr. Holli Alster graduated from the Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine in Philadelphia in 2000. She completed a highly competitive surgical reconstructive residency at Temple University Hospital and Temple Children’s Medical Center, where she also served as chief resident.
Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles tendonitis. As we age, our Achilles tendons become less flexible, because they begin to weaken. This form of tendonitis is a common sports-related injury not only in runners, but in people who play only on weekends.
Ankle Sprain
Sports related ankle injuries and foot injuries are fairly common, and many can be helped with icing, taping and stretching. A sports injury doctor will examine your injury through touch and imaging, and determine whether or not you need surgery. At the Family Foot & Ankle Center of Central Jersey, we’ve helped patients suffering with...
Bunions Problems
Although bunions tend to run in families, it is the foot type that is passed down not the bunion. In other words, our parent’s problematic food type can make us prone to developing bunions. They’re a symptom of faulty foot development usually caused by the way we walk, our shoes or other sources of pressure. Both men and women suffer from bunions, but they’re more common in females – usually because they wear high heels with a tapered toe area. The abnormal motions and pressure exerted on and within the foot cause these bone and joint deformities. Because of the progressive nature of this affliction, a bunion left untreated can lead to enough pain and disability to make walking difficult. It could even require surgery.
Diabetic Foot Care
Flat Feet
As a flat foot doctor, we must examine your feet before any treatment is recommended. Fallen arches treatment, if required, must be carefully managed to prevent new issues or deformities from arising. Some of the recommended treatments included limiting or changing daily physical activity, and the use of orthotics, serial casting, splints, braces or footwear. Be sure to contact a flat foot doctor if you have a fallen arch as it can lead to claw and hammer toes, bunions or can lead to knee, hip and lower back problems. Have your children evaluated early if there is a family history of this condition.
Fungus Toenails
But the fact is, anyone can get toe fungus infections. It tends to be more common in people who are under a lot of stress, wear shoes that don’t fit well, frequent nail salons, or tend to go barefoot in warm places like public showers, swimming pools or locker rooms. Onychomycosis is a fairly common condition, and in most of the cases, it’s caused by the same dermatophytes that cause athlete’s foot. These dermatophytes feed on the nail’s keratin causing changes within the nail. The toenail fungus can spread easily with direct contact of objects containing fungal spores like socks, shoes and towels. Untreated toenail fungus can spread to other parts of the body, nails, hands and legs. Excessive skin breakdown can lead to a secondary bacterial infection, which is potentially dangerous in diabetics and those with a suppressed immune system.
Hammertoes
Heel Spurs
Heel Pain
Foot Injuries
Metatarsalgia
Plantar Fasciitis
If you’re suffering from plantar fasciitis, it’s most likely because of faulty foot biomechanics (flat feet or high arched feet), inflexible calf muscle, poor footwear, arthritis, diabetes, irritation or repetitive trauma to the heel tissue.
Podiatric Deformities
Until you’re evaluated by us, treatment for ankle fractures is the same as ankle sprain treatment. It’s all about RICE – Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Cease physical activity. Apply ice 20-30 minutes per hour when awake. If possible, wrap your ankle snugly (but not too tightly) with an ace bandage. Elevate your foot often to at least your hip level. Medical treatment will involve X-rays to investigate broken bones. Immobilization is necessary for all ankle fractures to allow sufficient bone healing, so we may provide a below-knee cast or boot. Pain medication and/or anti-inflammatories will help reduce discomfort and pain. Without adequate care, long-term complications can include pain, arthritis, and severe ankle and foot deformities.
