Get Back In The Game With Sports Podiatry
A sports podiatrist is a podiatrist who deals specifically with foot and lower leg injuries and/or conditions caused by playing sports. The sports injuries that sports podiatrists see can be due to new, old, or reactivated injuries. Essentially, sports podiatry is a branch of podiatry that aims to assess, diagnose, and treat foot and lower limb injuries resulting from sports or exercise.
You don’t need to be a professional athlete by any means to see a sports podiatrist. People who play sports at any level are vulnerable to sports injuries, whether they’re a beginner or play in the big leagues.
Sports podiatry is also about prevention as much as it is treatment. Sports podiatrists regularly see athletes who do not have any current or previous sports injuries as a form of preventative treatment. This is so they can lessen their chances of acquiring an injury, and if they do, make it less severe and easier to manage.
