Sports Medicine

Overview

Sports and exercise can place significant stress on the feet and ankles. Common problems include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon injuries and ankle sprains. Early evaluation of persistent pain or injury can help prevent a minor problem from becoming more serious and support a safe return to activity.

When to See a Podiatrist

If you're experiencing persistent pain, swelling, changes in skin or nail appearance, difficulty walking or bearing weight, or a condition that isn't improving with basic home care, it's a good idea to schedule an evaluation. Early assessment often leads to simpler, more conservative treatment options.
