Sports Injuries We Commonly Treat
Our podiatrists assess and manage a wide range of foot, ankle and lower limb sports injuries.
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.
