When should you see a sports podiatrist?
Consider seeking help from a sports podiatrist if you experience any of the following:
- Foot pain: Foot pain can significantly impact your athletic performance and may be caused by various conditions, such as plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, or Achilles tendonitis.
- Ankle pain: Ankle injuries are common in sports, and early intervention is essential to prevent further damage and promote proper healing.
- Shin pain: A common condition for runners, shin splints can develop due to various types of physical activity, causing discomfort and pain along the shin bone.
- Calf pain: Calf muscle strains and tears can be painful and limit mobility, making it challenging to participate in sports activities.
- Nail and skin: Blisters, fungal infections, and ingrown toenails are common issues among athletes that can be painful and affect athletic performance.
