Sports Podiatry: Foot & Ankle Care for Athletes in Auckland

What is Sports Podiatry?

Sports podiatry focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing foot and lower limb injuries related to physical activity. A sports podiatrist assesses foot biomechanics, gait, and movement patterns to develop tailored treatment plans.

Common Sports-Related Foot & Ankle Issues

Athletes are prone to various foot and ankle conditions due to repetitive strain, improper footwear, or poor biomechanics. Some common issues include:

• Plantar Fasciitis – Inflammation of the plantar fascia, causing heel pain

• Achilles Tendinopathy – Overuse injury of the Achilles tendon, leading to pain and stiffness

• Shin Splints – Pain along the shin bone due to stress on the muscles and bones

• Stress Fractures – Small cracks in bones due to repetitive impact

• Ankle Sprains – Ligament injuries from sudden twists or rolling of the ankle

• Flat Feet or Overpronation – Can lead to instability and pain in the lower limb
