Sports Injuries Treatment to Help You Get Back in the Game

Treatment of Sports Injuries

Whether you're an exercise enthusiast, novice runner, or athlete, it's your feet and ankles that are the real MVPs, allowing you to walk, run, jump, or pivot your way to greatness. Unfortunately, working so hard and doing so much can put your feet and ankles at risk for a number of sports injuries that can threaten to keep you in pain and out of the game.

Is a foot or ankle sports injury disrupting your life and athletic goals? Are you finding it difficult to complete basic tasks, much less participate or compete in your favorite sport or athletic activity? Don't let a foot or ankle sports injury disrupt your long-term athletic goals. Help is available.

We Offer Conservative to Advanced Treatment Options for Podiatric Sports Injuries

When a sports injury puts your athletic goals on pause, you need treatment that provides results. That's exactly what you'll find at Optimum Podiatry. We're dedicated to providing the most effective podiatric interventions possible, offering advanced non-surgical and surgical treatment options.

Non-Surgical Solutions

We understand that when an injury forces you out of the game, having to undergo surgery can further delay your progress. That's why we use non-surgical treatments when possible. These may include:

R.I.C.E., a first-line treatment that stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation
Lifestyle changes, such as wearing more supportive shoes or performing stretching and strengthening exercises prior to activity
Laser therapy, which uses red and near-infrared light wavelengths to improve circulation and stimulate the body's natural healing process
Custom orthotics, which provide personalized cushioning and support

Surgical Interventions

In cases where non-surgical treatments fail to provide the desired results, surgery may provide the best chance for pain relief and recovery. Our talented podiatric surgeon, Dr. Cowans, performs minimally invasive and traditional open surgeries for a wide variety of sports injuries. After surgery, he'll oversee your recovery to ensure that you're able to bounce back better than ever.

You Deserve a Treatment Plan as Unique as You Are

Effective podiatry care isn't one size fits all. What works for most or some might not work for you. That's why you can count on Dr. Cowans to take the time to answer your questions, address your concerns, and understand your overall athletic goals, so he can develop a customized treatment plan that's right for you. Why? Because you're more than just a number—you're a member of the Optimum Podiatry family. Ready to find out how we can help you get back on your feet and back in the game?
