Common Sports-Related Foot and Ankle Injuries

Athletes face a wide range of foot and ankle injuries. Some of the most common we treat include:

• Ankle Sprains — Stretching or tearing of the ligaments that support the ankle.
• Stress Fractures — Small cracks in a bone caused by repetitive force or overuse.
• Achilles Tendinitis — An overuse injury that brings pain and inflammation to the Achilles tendon.
• Plantar Fasciitis — Inflammation of the tissue running along the bottom of the foot.
• Heel Spurs — Calcium deposits that form on the underside of the heel bone.
