Sports Injuries

Sport forms a large and important part of many people’s lives. However, many sports increase the force and pressure on the feet and lower limbs and, whether you are a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, occasionally sports injuries can occur. Foot and lower limb injuries can be caused by multiple reasons from pressure to overuse injuries. Some of the common sports injuries include:

• Plantar fasciitis
• Achilles tendonitis
• Ankle sprain
• Shin splints
• Knee pain
• Stress fracture

If you experience any foot or lower limb pain due to sports or exercise, visit North Queensland Podiatry for a comprehensive assessment, diagnosis and treatment plan.
