Sports Injuries We Commonly Treat

Our podiatrists assess and manage a wide range of foot, ankle and lower limb sports injuries.

Heel Pain and Plantar
Fasciitis

Heel pain is common in runners, walkers and active people who spend long periods on their feet. It may be linked to plantar fasciitis, footwear, training load, foot posture or calf tightness.

Achilles Tendon
Pain

Achilles pain can develop from running, jumping, hill training, sudden load increases or poor footwear support. Early assessment can help reduce the risk of ongoing tendon irritation.

Ankle Sprains and
Instability

Ankle sprains may occur during sport, running or uneven-ground activity. 
Some people also develop recurring ankle instability after repeated sprains.

Shin Pain

Shin pain may be linked to training load, running surfaces, footwear, calf strength, foot mechanics or stress-related bone irritation.

Forefoot Pain

Pain in the ball of the foot can affect running, court sports, gym training and daily walking. It may be related to pressure distribution, footwear or foot structure.

Stress Reactions & Stress Fractures

Stress injuries can occur when bone is placed under repeated load without enough recovery. A podiatrist can help identify contributing factors and refer for imaging where required.

Blisters, Callus & Nail Trauma

Repetitive sport and footwear pressure can cause skin and nail problems, particularly in runners, footballers and court-sport athletes.

Children’s Sports Injuries

Children and teenagers can experience sports-related heel pain, foot pain, ankle injuries and growth-related discomfort. Treatment should consider activity, growth, footwear and sport demands.

Acute and Ongoing Sports Injuries

Sports injuries can be acute or chronic.

Acute Sports Injuries

Acute injuries happen suddenly. These may include ankle sprains, impact injuries, sudden tendon pain, bruising or trauma during sport.
You may need assessment if you have:

  • sudden pain during sport
  • swelling or bruising
  • difficulty walking
  • pain after twisting or landing awkwardly
  • pain that does not improve with rest
Chronic Sports Injuries

Chronic injuries usually build over time. They may be caused by repeated load, footwear issues, changes in activity, biomechanics, muscle weakness or incomplete recovery from a previous injury.
You may need assessment if you have:

  • pain that keeps returning
  • symptoms that worsen during training
  • pain after activity
  • reduced performance due to discomfort
  • recurring foot, ankle, shin or heel pain

A podiatry assessment can help identify why the injury has developed and what can be done to support recovery.

How Our Podiatrists Assess Sports Injuries

A good treatment plan starts with understanding the cause of the problem, not just the painful area.

Symptom and Activity Review

We discuss your pain, sport, training habits, footwear, injury history and recovery goals.

Foot and Lower Limb Assessment

Your podiatrist may assess foot posture, joint movement, muscle function, balance, loading patterns and areas of pressure.

Gait and Movement Analysis

Where appropriate, we may use gait assessment to understand how your feet and lower limbs move during walking or running.

Footwear Review

Your shoes can play a major role in sports injury management. We can review your current footwear and provide recommendations based on your activity and foot type.

Treatment Plan

Your treatment plan may include load management, footwear changes, orthotics, taping, shockwave therapy, laser therapy, strengthening advice or referral where needed.

Return-to-Activity Guidance

We help you understand how to return to sport or exercise in a way that supports recovery and reduces the risk of recurrence.

Sports Injury Treatment Options

Treatment depends on your injury, activity level, symptoms and goals.

Gait Analysis

Gait analysis helps assess how your feet and legs move during walking or running. This can be useful for recurring injuries, running pain and biomechanical issues.

Custom Orthotics

Custom orthotics may be recommended when foot posture, pressure distribution or movement patterns are contributing to pain. They can help support the foot and reduce strain in specific areas.

Footwear Advice

The right footwear can make a significant difference for running, sport and everyday activity. We can help you choose shoes suited to your foot type, activity and injury.

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy may be used for some soft tissue and tendon-related conditions, depending on your diagnosis and suitability.

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy may be used as part of a broader treatment plan for selected injuries and soft tissue concerns.

Taping and Bracing

Taping or support braces may help reduce strain, support healing and improve comfort during recovery.

Load Management

Many sports injuries are linked to sudden changes in activity. We can help adjust your training load while you recover.

Rehabilitation Advice

Your podiatrist may provide stretching, strengthening or mobility guidance to support recovery and reduce recurrence.
