Sports Medicine

Running and jumping for extended periods is all in a day’s work when it comes to practice, game time, and everything in between. Unfortunately, sports players are prone to developing plantar fasciitis due to the repetitive movements and stress they place upon their feet. This painful foot condition inflames the plantar fascia, the tissue that supports your arch. Our physicians can treat you with minimally invasive options to get you back to performing—and feeling—your best.

The Achilles tendon runs along the back of the leg from the calf to the heel and is crucial for more explosive moves like sprinting and jumping. However, overuse can cause it to ache and become swollen. From track stars and runners to basketball and volleyball players, many athletes can develop Achilles tendinitis. Our sports doctors can provide patients suffering from this condition with non-surgical or surgical treatment, depending on the severity of the sports injury.

One of the most common injuries addressed in sports medicine, an inversion ankle sprain occurs when you twist your foot upward and your ankle rolls outward. One way this can occur is when landing a jump, especially if you’re touching down on an uneven surface. These sprains happen in sports like basketball, baseball, and gymnastics. When rest, ice, compression, and elevation aren’t enough, our physicians have the resources and expertise to treat you effectively.
