Sports Injuries
What are sports injuries?
Sports injuries include damage your body incurs when playing a sport or engaging in physical activity. Sports injuries are common and affect people at all fitness levels.
You can be injured in an accident, while overtraining, or improperly using gear and equipment. Not warming up or doing too much too soon can also lead to a sports injury.
What are some common foot and ankle sports injuries?
In sports, you rely on your feet and ankles when standing, walking, running, jumping, and climbing. The stress placed on these parts of your body when engaged in high-impact sports makes them vulnerable to injuries.
Sports injuries of the feet and ankles include:
- Sprains and strains
- Achilles tendinitis
- Achilles tendon tear
- Fractures
- Stress fractures
- Plantar fasciitis
- Shin splints
- Heel pain
- Chronic ankle instability
- Sesamoiditis (inflammation of the sesamoid bones)
- Trigger toe
Though they provide expert care for all athletes, the podiatrists at AIRE Podiatry Studio have particular expertise in managing sports injuries affecting dancers.
When should I see podiatry for sports injuries?
You should see the foot and ankle experts at AIRE Podiatry Studio if your sports injury involves your foot or ankle. The podiatrists have expertise in handling these injuries and can provide the specialized care you need.
During your initial consultation, your podiatrist asks detailed questions about your injury.
