Effective short and long-term solutions

We use modern methods including video gain analysis to reveal how you move and how this impacts your sporting performance – as well as your risk factors for potential injury. Often, this analysis will show us the cause of the pain or discomfort that you are experiencing. This enables us to formulate a treatment plan.
We combine effective short-term pain relief such as massage and strapping with comprehensive long-term strategies to resolve the issue, including stretching and strengthening programs, customised orthotics, and footwear advice. Our experienced Sydney sports podiatrist also provides treatments such as shockwave and prolotherapy. These modalities transfer heat into tissue, joints, and tendons promoting an increased flow of blood to the injury site which encourages faster healing.

What causes foot and lower leg sports injuries?

Acute sports injury

An acute sports injury is caused by one single traumatic event. This could be landing awkwardly when jumping or vaulting, or a fall when running. One example of an acute sports injury is a sprain of the ankle. Poor strength, poor footwear and poor biomechanics are all factors that may increase the risk of an acute sports injury.

Chronic sports injury

A chronic sports injury affecting the lower leg and foot is often caused by biomechanical faults and overuse. When a person plays a sport, the feet and lower legs are often required to take forces that are 3 times their body weight. This increased force places an increased load on joints, tendons, and muscles. If a person has poor lower leg biomechanics it may mean the load is increased on specific muscles and can lead to injury. Examples of overuse injuries include tendinopathies and shin splints. Increased loads, poor conditioning, poor lower leg biomechanics and poor footwear are all associated with chronic sports injuries.
