Frequently Asked Questions

What sports injuries can be treated with Sports Podiatry?

Sports Podiatry can effectively treat a wide range of foot and lower limb injuries commonly associated with sports activities. These may include conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, shin splints, stress fractures, ankle sprains, patellar tendonitis, overuse injuries, and foot and ankle instability.

How can custom orthotics help improve sports performance?

Custom orthotics are tailored to address biomechanical issues and provide support, stability, and alignment to the feet and lower limbs during physical activities. By correcting imbalances and reducing excessive stress on specific areas, custom orthotics can enhance biomechanical efficiency, reduce the risk of injury, and improve overall sports performance.

No, Sports Podiatry is beneficial for athletes of all levels, from recreational enthusiasts to elite professionals. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a competitive athlete, or someone who enjoys staying active, our Sports Podiatry services are designed to address your specific needs and support your performance goals.

How soon can I return to sports activities after a foot injury?

The timeline for returning to sports activities after a foot injury varies depending on the severity of the injury and individual factors such as healing rate and rehabilitation progress. Our podiatrists will assess your condition, provide appropriate treatment, and offer guidance on a safe and gradual return to sports activities to minimise the risk of re-injury.

Will I need ongoing treatment for my sports-related foot issues?

The need for ongoing treatment for sports-related foot issues depends on various factors, including the nature of the injury, your activity level, and your response to treatment. In some cases, ongoing maintenance or monitoring may be necessary to manage chronic conditions or prevent recurrence. Our podiatrists will work with you to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses your current issues and supports long-term foot health and performance.
