Sports Injuries

Understanding Sports Injuries

Sports injuries can affect any part of the foot and ankle, from strains and sprains to fractures and tendonitis. Common sports injuries include:

• Ankle Sprains: Injuries to the ligaments surrounding the ankle, often caused by sudden twists or turns.
• Achilles Tendonitis: Inflammation of the Achilles tendon, frequently resulting from overuse or intense physical activity.
• Stress Fractures: Small cracks in the bones of the foot, often due to repetitive stress or high-impact sports.
• Plantar Fasciitis: Inflammation of the plantar fascia, leading to heel pain that can impact athletic performance.

Comprehensive Sports Injury Treatment

At Alpine Foot & Ankle, we offer a range of effective treatments tailored to your specific sports injury:

• Accurate Diagnosis: Dr. McCall utilizes advanced diagnostic tools, including digital imaging, to precisely identify the nature and extent of your injury.
• Non-Surgical Treatments: We provide conservative care such as rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), physical therapy, and custom orthotics to relieve pain and promote healing.
• Advanced Therapies: For more severe injuries, we may recommend modalities like shockwave therapy, ultrasound therapy, or corticosteroid injections to accelerate recovery and reduce inflammation.
• Surgical Intervention: When necessary, Dr. McCall performs minimally invasive surgical procedures to repair damaged tissues, stabilize fractures, or correct structural issues, ensuring a safe and effective recovery.
