Here in Soldotna, AK, our podiatrist office sees many injuries of the feet and ankles, including sports injuries. Sports injuries can occur in many people, including students during practice or games, professional athletes during sporting events, or people who participate in fitness or sports as recreation.
Injuries of the feet and ankles are more common among athletes because they use these parts of their bodies so much, requiring the use of them for stability and movement and subjecting them to an overuse injury. It also makes it more important that they see us as soon as they notice signs of an injury.
Some of the more common sports injuries we see here in our podiatrist office include:
1. Hip stress fractures
2. Pulled hamstring
3. Shin splints
4. Achilles tendonitis
5. Sprains and strains
6. Arch pain
7. Plantar Fasciitis
8. Knee injuries
9. Swollen muscles
10. Shin bone pain
11. Fractures
12. Dislocations
As soon as our patients get an injury, we first encourage them to stop their sport or running activity, get rest, and schedule an appointment to be seen in our Soldotna, AK podiatrist office. The faster we can diagnose the problem, the sooner we treat it and enable our patients to get back to physical activities.
Contact podiatrist Dr. Harry Cotler today to get help with your sports injuries.
