Sports Injuries & Rehab

Some of the most common sports injuries involve the lower limb, such as ankle sprains, shin splints, ACL tears, jumper’s knee, and Achilles’ tendonitis. Podiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat all lower limb injuries and will help create tailored management plans for your individual situations.

Rehabilitation comes after the diagnosis. Your podiatrist will gather a general history of your injury, living condition and assess the severity of the condition before prescribing one, or a mixture, of the following:

• Stretching and strengthening the structures injured and/or surrounding the injury
• The use of orthotics to correct and offload pressure sites
• Taping and strapping to support injured structures
• Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (link to ESWT page)
• Refer you on for surgery if cases are severe.
