Sports Injuries
Treating Foot and Ankle Pain from Active Lifestyles
Expert Care for Athletes and Active Individuals
Whether you’re a competitive athlete or simply enjoy staying active, your feet and ankles endure tremendous stress. Sports injuries can develop from overuse, poor conditioning, or improper footwear — leading to pain, inflammation, and limited mobility. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent long-term complications and keep you moving pain-free.
Common Causes
Sports injuries often occur when the feet or ankles are pushed beyond their limits. Contributing factors include:
- Overuse and repetitive stress from running or jumping
- Improper footwear or lack of arch support
- Sudden changes in activity level or intensity
- Poor biomechanics or uneven surfaces
- Previous injuries that haven’t fully healed
Typical Conditions
Athletes are prone to a range of injuries, including:
- Ankle sprains and strains
- Stress fractures
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendonitis
- Shin splints
- Sesamoiditis
- Metatarsalgia
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the severity and type of injury but generally includes:
- Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE)
- Supportive taping, bracing, or orthotics
- Anti-inflammatory medication to relieve pain and swelling
- Physical therapy to rebuild strength and mobility
- Custom orthotics to correct foot mechanics and prevent reinjury
In more severe cases, surgical intervention may be required to repair torn ligaments, tendons, or fractures.
