A podiatrist is well-suited to treat lower-extremity athletic injuries.
With a deep understanding of foot, ankle, and lower extremity function,
the doctors at Mirkin Foot Specialists understand how the rigors of
sports affect the foot and ankle structures. Furthermore, as each
doctor has participated in competitive sports ranging from running
to football to soccer to golf, we understand the "athletic mentality"
of wanting to "get back on the field." |
 |
The high impact of running, and the twisting and pivoting involved
in sports often lead to:
• fractures (broken bones)
• ankle/foot sprains
• tendonitis
• toe
nail injuries
• heel pain
• neuromas
|
As you are treated and rehabilitate through a sports related injury,
the doctors at Mirkin Foot Specialists often use the following modalities
in your care:
• X-rays
• Gait analysis/Muscle
Strength Test
• Anti-Inflammatory Medications
•
Cortisone Injections
• Orthotics (Custom Arch Supports)
• Athletic Taping
• Physical Therapy
•
Surgery
|
Again, as athletes ourselves, we understand the importance of getting
you "back on your feet" to compete, exercise, or just have
fun as soon as possible.
