Sports Injuries
Foot & Ankle Injuries in Athletes
Many sports are hard on the feet and ankles because of quick repetitive movements, constricting footwear, and increased exposure to trauma. From weekend warriors to elite athletes, foot and ankle injuries can sideline anyone — but with proper diagnosis and treatment, most athletes make full recoveries.
Common sports-related conditions we treat include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, sesamoiditis, ankle sprains, stress fractures, and tendon tears. Team sports like football, basketball, soccer, and lacrosse often lead to ankle injuries due to artificial playing surfaces, improper footwear, and inadequate stretching.

Treatment & Rehabilitation
Diagnostic imaging (X-ray, MRI) to accurately identify the injury.
Bracing and immobilization to allow healing without surgery when possible.
EPAT shockwave therapy and PRP injections to accelerate tissue repair.
Physical therapy and rehabilitation protocols tailored to your sport.
Surgical repair for fractures, tendon ruptures, and ligament tears when needed.
Custom orthotics and proper footwear to prevent re-injury.
