In sports, it's common to injure an ankle, a foot, or a shin, for instance- but without getting proper and prompt treatment, an athlete's minor foot problem today can grow into a large, career-ending problem tomorrow. It's important to look at the hazards presented by a particular sport, as well as the individual needs of the patient who's playing in that sport. Common solutions include medication prescription, rehabilitation programs, or good old fashioned advice so you don't find yourself with a similar or worse injury in the future. Sometimes, surgery may be necessary, especially if a bone has been broken or a ligament is torn or damaged. But if you've had a sports foot injury, don't worry! We can help you out.
