If you suffer a sports injury to your foot, ankle, or lower leg, the specialists at San Juan Health Partners Foot and Ankle are here to help. Common sports injuries we treat include:
Pain that occurs in the front of the lower leg along the shin bone. It is frequently caused by running on hard surfaces or sudden increases in exercise intensity.
Sprains involve ligament damage, while strains affect tendons or muscles. Both cause significant swelling, pain, and instability.
Given the complexity of the 26 bones in the foot, athletes are particularly prone to stress fractures and acute breaks from impact or sudden twists.
This condition causes painful microtears in the tissue connecting your heel to your toes, often triggered by repetitive strain from running or jumping.
Triggering pain and inflammation in the large tendon at the back of the ankle, this injury often results from overuse or lack of proper stretching.
Toenails can be bruised, displaced, or broken during sports, leading to significant discomfort and potential infection if left untreated.
Trauma—such as landing poorly after a jump—is a common cause of acute sprains and fractures. However, many injuries result from repetitive strain. Runners often suffer from overuse conditions like plantar fasciitis. Factors like improper footwear, lack of safety equipment (like shin guards), or sudden changes in activity level can also contribute. No matter the cause, our podiatrists are ready to help you recover.
Your provider makes a diagnosis after a careful physical examination and review of your symptoms. San Juan Health Partners Foot and Ankle provides on-site diagnostic imaging, including X-ray and MRI machines, to quickly verify the extent of your injury and determine the best treatment plan.
