Sports injuries
We live in an area where youth sports take place year-round and people of all ages stay very active running, biking, and doing aerobic activity due to the warmer temperatures we experience. The year-round activity leads to excessive training which can also lead to sports injuries. These types of injuries result in heel pain, achilles tendonitis, sesamoiditis, stress fractures, posterior tibial tendonitis and several others. Athletes should be aware of the risks and seek a podiatrist’s help when these types of injuries occur to help prevent further risk of injury.
Yes. Podiatrists treat a wide range of sports-related foot and ankle injuries, including sprains, stress fractures, Achilles tendonitis, and heel pain. They can also help with recovery, injury prevention, and custom orthotics to improve performance. Getting the right care early helps you return to activity safely. Set an appointment with Dr. Brad Herbst of Podiatry Associates of Florida San Jose Division.
