Whether you are a professional athlete or play sports just for fun, the demands made on your feet and lower limbs can lead to a range of injuries, including blisters, sprained ankles, torn ligaments, shin splints (leg pain), plantar fasciitis, knee pain, low back pain and other joint or muscle problems. Added to these are common complaints such as corns, calluses, and Athlete’s foot. 

 

Your running style, excessively flexible feet, wrong choice of athletic footwear and even minor limb length differences, can also contribute to a sports injury.

 

Your feet are your foundation. If they are misaligned and overly flexible, it can cause a twist at your ankle, lower leg, and knee. Something as simple as a pair of custom orthotics can take away abnormal stresses across multiple joints.

 

If you suffer from any of these issues, call us today. Dr. Steinberg will counsel you, so you don’t develop an overuse injury, or if you already have, put you on the road to recovery, and keep you active and on your feet.
