Athletic Injuries

Participation in athletics will inevitably lead to injuries including those to the feet. In particular, sports tend to cause problems such as Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis stress fractures and sprains. If you suffer any such injury while competing in sports, don’t suffer in silence. Ask for help from our Peoria, AZ team by dialing (602) 547-2111. Our foot specialists will evaluate your unique sports injury and develop the optimal treatment plan.

The treatment for your athletic injury will be tailored to your unique pain and mobility challenges. For some patients, the use of over-the-counter anti-inflammatories will help significantly decrease swelling. In some cases, applying ice to the injury, wrapping the ankle, elevating it and resting it will help. However, if the foot injury is more significant such as a severe sprain, more powerful pain relief along with a walking boot or brace will be necessary to keep the ankle immobilized and the ligaments healthy enough to potentially fully heal. The use of a brace or boot for a severe foot sprain or other injury will also help to mitigate pain.
