Injuries of the foot and ankle during sporting activities can be caused from trauma such as twisting of the foot or ankle or from repetitive strain. Continuing to participate in sports on an injured foot or ankle can lead to inability to compete and in some cases long-term pain. Playing through the pain and hoping that an injury will heal on its own can often make the problem worse Some of the most common injuries that we see and treat as podiatrists are:

• Sprains and strains
• Fractures
• Dislocations
• Crush injuries
• Toenail injuries
• Tendon and ligament injuries

If you are experiencing pain in your foot ankle you should seek consultation to accurately diagnose and treat the injury.
