Sports Injuries

Comprehensive Sports Injury Care
Expert Treatment to Keep You Moving
Whether you’re a competitive athlete or enjoy staying active on the weekends, your feet and ankles endure tremendous pressure with every stride, jump, and pivot. These demands can lead to a wide range of injuries—from blisters and ankle sprains to shin splints, tendon tears, and joint pain. Even small factors such as poor footwear, muscle imbalance, or differences in leg length can increase your risk of injury and affect performance.
