From Urgent Care to Expert Care

Many local urgent care centers trust and refer their patients to us for specialized foot and ankle treatment. Urgent care is valuable for immediate evaluation, X-rays, or initial stabilization. But when it comes to definitive care, they turn to us — the foot and ankle specialists.

At About Feet Podiatry Center, we take it from there: we pinpoint the root cause, provide the full range of treatment options, and perform procedures when needed to get you back to full activity.

Common Sports-Related Injuries We Treat

• Achilles tendonitis / tendinopathy
• Plantar fasciitis / plantar fasciosis
• Ankle sprains / ligament injuries
• Sesamoiditis and stress fractures
• Tendonitis of the foot / overuse injuries
• Tendon tears or ruptures
• Cartilage damage and joint impingement

If your foot or ankle has been giving you persistent pain, swelling, stiffness, or instability while training or competing — don’t ignore it.

Our Approach to Sports Injury Care

We don’t throw a one-size-fits-all plan at you. Every athlete, every body, every injury is different. Here’s how we tackle it:

Detailed Evaluation

Physical exam, gait and biomechanical analysis, and imaging if needed to identify the exact source of the problem.

Personalized Treatment Plan

• Rest and activity modification
• Physical therapy and guided rehab
• Bracing, taping, or custom orthotics
• Advanced therapies (for example PRP and other regenerative options)
• Minimally invasive surgery when possible
• Traditional foot and ankle surgery when required, including tendon repair, ligament reconstruction, and fracture fixation

Rehabilitation and Prevention

We build strength, restore mobility, and correct underlying imbalances to keep you from getting sidelined again.

Return-to-Sport Plan

Step-by-step guidance so you can get back to training or competition safely — without repeat injury.

Why Choose a Podiatric Group Over an Orthopedic Group?

• Exclusive focus on the foot and ankle
• Surgical expertise in minimally invasive and reconstructive techniques
• In-office surgical facilities for many procedures
• Personalized attention and faster access to care

When your livelihood, fitness, or ability to stay active is at stake, you want the experts who focus exclusively on the foot and ankle.

Why Your Injury Isn’t Getting Better on Its Own

Many sports injuries are silent aggravators — small damage, micro-tears, or strain accumulate over time until a sudden flare-up stops you in your tracks. Common factors that worsen issues include:

• Poor footwear or inappropriate shoes
• Skipping or rushing warm-up and stretching
• Training errors such as too much too soon
• Biomechanical imbalances or alignment issues
• Previous injuries not fully healed

Waiting for it to go away often means it gets worse, not better.

When to See a Specialist

If you experience any of the following, it’s past wait and see:

• Pain not improving (or worsening) after a week
• Swelling, bruising, or redness
• Instability in the ankle
• Pain during normal walking
• Difficulty putting weight on the foot
• Recurring issues in the same area
