Expert Sports Injury Treatment (and Prevention!)

Foot and ankle injuries can seriously impact athletes and active individuals, often putting performance, and even daily activity, on hold. Whether you’re training for a marathon or enjoying recreational sports, getting injured can be frustrating and limiting. That’s why fast, expert treatment is essential.

At Premier Podiatry Group, we understand the demands placed on your feet and ankles during sports. Our experienced team specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of sports-related injuries, helping you recover quickly and safely.

Common Sports Injuries We Treat

Sports injuries typically fall into two categories: overuse injuries that develop gradually from repetitive motion, and acute injuries that occur suddenly during activity. At Premier Podiatry Group, we treat a wide range of both.

Some of the most common conditions we see include ankle sprains, Achilles tendinitis, and plantar fasciitis, a leading cause of heel pain. We also manage stress fractures, shin splints, metatarsalgia (pain in the forefoot), turf toe, and muscle strains. No matter the type or severity of your injury, we tailor treatment plans to your needs and athletic goals.

A Two-Part Treatment Philosophy: Relief Now, Prevention for the Future

At Premier Podiatry Group, our approach begins with a thorough evaluation to pinpoint the exact cause of your pain. We conduct a physical exam, review your medical history, and, when necessary, perform on-site imaging such as X-rays or ultrasound.

From there, we implement initial care strategies to reduce pain and inflammation. This may include rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), immobilization, or bracing. We also offer advanced solutions like MLS laser therapy to accelerate healing and relieve pain.

Beyond short-term relief, we focus on long-term recovery and injury prevention. Through gait analysis and biomechanical assessments, we identify movement patterns that may be contributing to your condition. We provide recommendations for supportive footwear, guide you through customized stretching and strengthening routines, and create a safe, gradual return-to-sport plan. When needed, custom orthotics are prescribed to support proper alignment and reduce strain.

Advanced Care When You Need It Most

If your injury doesn’t improve with conservative treatment or you’re experiencing worsening symptoms, such as persistent swelling, instability, or trouble walking, it may be time to consider more advanced care. At Premier Podiatry Group, we offer additional diagnostic options, including imaging and gait or biomechanical assessments, to gain a deeper understanding of your condition.

In some cases, a surgical evaluation may be appropriate. While we prioritize non-invasive solutions, we also provide referrals for minimally invasive procedures when necessary. Our team will guide you through pre-operative decisions and coordinate comprehensive post-surgical recovery planning to help you return to activity safely and confidently.
