SPORTS INJURIES

At City Foot Health, we understand the essential role physical activity plays in maintaining your health and wellness. Yet, with the thrill of sports comes the risk of injuries, especially to the lower limbs. 

Whether you're a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, sports injuries like Lisfranc fractures, turf toe, and foot stress fractures can not only halt your athletic pursuits but also impact your daily mobility and quality of life. 

Our team of highly skilled podiatrists is here to guide you through your recovery, offering specialised treatments for these conditions and more, helping you regain your confidence and functionality.

What are the most common sports injuries? 

Depending on your sport of choice, there are several common injuries you might come up against. Plantar Fasciitis, tendinitis, and bursitis, for example, tend to be caused by overuse when running, dancing, cycling, and playing football. 

However, these aren’t the only foot injuries keen sports players may face. Let’s take a look at some other sports-related injuries and your treatment options. 

Lisfranc fracture treatment

A Lisfranc fracture is a complex injury involving the bones and ligaments in the midfoot. It often occurs due to direct trauma or twisting injuries in sports. Recognising the complexity of this injury, our clinic provides comprehensive Lisfranc injury treatment, starting with an accurate diagnosis followed by a tailored treatment plan. 

Treatment options may include immobilisation, physical therapy, or surgery, depending on the injury's severity. Our goal is to restore function and minimise the risk of long-term complications.

Turf toe treatment

Turf toe is an injury to the big toe joint resulting from excessive upward bending. It's common in sports played on hard surfaces, like tennis and netball. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, impacting your ability to walk and run. 

Our approach to turf toe treatment includes rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), alongside specialised orthotics and physiotherapy to reduce pain and inflammation while ensuring a safe return to activity.

Foot stress fracture treatment

Foot stress fractures are tiny cracks in the bones of the foot, often caused by repetitive force or overuse. Runners and athletes in high-impact sports are particularly susceptible. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent further injury. 

Our clinic offers effective foot stress fracture treatment options, including activity modification, protective footwear, and physical therapy to promote healing and strengthen the foot to prevent future fractures.
