Sports Medicine Basketball Foot and Ankle Injury Treatment

The impact of basketball injury on our feet and ankles after a great jump shot is substantial and as a result, foot and ankle sprain and other injury during basketball is common and these foot and ankle injury issues can be severe. Our podiatrists — foot and ankle doctors –know the importance of proper sports medicine treatment of a basketball foot injury and proper treatment of a basketball ankle injury to prevent long term complications, such as a lifetime of pain or foot and ankle weakness or ankle instability.

Basketball injury of the foot or basketball injury of the ankle can range from a simple sore toenail to a torn Achilles tendon or ligament, an ankle sprain or twisted ankle, or even a fracture of the ankle or foot (or in some cases, both!). Other common basketball injuries our podiatrist office provides treatment for includes Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, and an ankle sprain or ankle pain. Our foot and ankle doctors (podiatrists) provide treatment for basketball foot injury and ankle injury, ankle pain, including ankle sprain treatment and tendon injury treatment.

Sports Medicine Gymnastic Foot and Ankle Injury Treatment

Gymnasts appear to move gracefully, even effortlessly, but the reality is that gymnastics can strain and injure our feet and ankles. Our podiatrists know how important gymnastics is to those people involved in the sport and they strive to get gymnasts back on their feet as quickly as possible. Gymnastic foot injury and gymnastic ankle injury can be serious. The gymnastic injury can sprain or fracture the foot or ankle or even a toe fracture. Our foot and ankle doctors treatment may involve taping, casting, orthotics, injection or toe, foot or ankle surgery.

The most common gymnastic injury our podiatrists provide treatment for includes a sprained ankle, foot injury, tendon tear and fracture. Ankle sprains in gymnasts can be minor or severe. In a severe ankle sprain the ankle ligaments can stretch or even tear, and if these are not properly treated, gymnasts can be at risk for a lifetime of pain and weakness and instability (repeated ankle sprains). Ankle sprain treatment is an important part of the treatment our podiatrist office provides people in Northwest Indiana. Strains, such as heel pain, tendonitis and plantar fasciitis are sometimes treated by our Northwest Indiana podiatrists with a cortisone injection or a steroid injection. Sometimes this injection or this shot is successful in alleviating pain. 

Flatfeet can be a contributor to gymnastics and other sports injuries. If you or your child suffers with flatfeet, Dr. Nirenberg is trained in the HyProCure surgery procedure to improve the arch in a flatfoot. Read more about the HyProCure by clicking here.

Other gymnastic injuries our doctors see include ankle weakness, ankle pain, pulled tendons and even tendon tears, sesamoid bone injury (sesmoiditis), plantar fasciitis (heel pain), neuromas, painful bunions and a foot fracture or ankle fracture. Some treatment options for foot and ankle gymnast problems are treated with injections, orthotics, braces, surgery or other treatment options.

For athletes or other people who get ankle sprains or have weak ankles that “give out,” our practice offers a host of treatments including the Arthrex Internal Brace. The Internal Brace can be implanted during an outpatient surgical procedure to help alleviate ankle weakness and reduce the risk of ankle sprains.

Sports Medicine Baseball Foot and Ankle Injury Treatment

Ankle Pain due to Arthritis

Baseball may look tame but our foot and ankle doctors (podiatrists) have seen bones broken from the impact with the ball. Players feet and ankles are subjected to sprinting, twisting and sliding. The upshot is that baseball players often injure their feet or ankles, and they are particularly prone to an ankle sprain, ankle fracture or ankle injury.

Baseball foot and ankle injury treatment by our foot and ankle doctors can involve minor treatment, such as splinting or a cast or may require foot or ankle surgery. Our baseball injury patients range from children to adults. Baseball foot or ankle injury can cause a foot to fracture or an ankle to torque causing an ankle sprain (twisted ankle), ankle fracture or baseball injury of a tendon of the foot or ankle. The baseball injuries that our podiatrists (foot and ankle doctors) provide treatment for in our Northwest Indiana office includes treatment of an ankle sprain, foot or ankle fracture, toe fracture, ligament tears, ankle weakness, tendon tears and high impact contusions to the foot and ankle.

Our podiatry team will use a variety of options to treat your foot or ankle injury, including braces, physical therapy, custom-made foot orthotics, injections and when necessary, foot surgery or ankle surgery.

Sports Medicine Volleyball Foot and Ankle Injury Treatment

Nothing is better than executing the perfect spike in volleyball, at least until you land. That is when your feet and ankles endure the brunt of the impact. When a volleyball player’s feet are not landing after a jump, side-to-side movement can stress them (much like tennis players put side to side stress on their foot or ankle).

Foot and ankle injury, especially an ankle sprain, is common in volleyball players. Worse, an ankle ligament can rupture and an ankle tendon can tear or you can have a tendon rupture. Volleyball injury of the foot or ankle should be treated promptly and you should promptly seek treatment for ankle sprains and other volleyball foot and ankle injuries by our podiatrist office.

If you have a volleyball foot injury or volleyball ankle injury and need foot or ankle treatment, call us today and we work to schedule you for treatment of the volleyball injury with one of podiatrists. Our podiatrists often use our in-office diagnostic ultrasound technology to check for an injury to ligaments or tendons. When an ankle ligament is injured sometimes our podiatrist will treat the ankle with physical therapy, bracing, orthotics or surgery. If these problems are not correctly treated, the foot and ankle can remain sore and weak for years.

Treatment options for an ankle sprain or foot injury include custom-made foot orthotics, injections, physical therapy, specialized bracing and braces and foot surgery or ankle surgery measures. Children athletes or a child who is injured during sports has separate issues sometimes from an adult and a child with an injury should be treated promptly. Our entire podiatry foot and ankle team is here to give you our very best!

Running Foot Injury Treatment and Running Ankle Injury Treatment

Runners are at high risk for a toe, foot or ankle injury. Dr. Nirenberg is an avid runner and participates in barefoot and minimalist running (and has even penned a chapter on the subject!). Running injury of the heel, foot and ankle is common. Our podiatrist office physicians — foot and ankle doctors — provide treatment of running injury of the toe, heel, foot and ankle routinely. Our foot and ankle doctors (podiatrists) know how important it is to solve and provide treatment of a running foot or ankle problem so the athlete can get back to doing what they love – running.

Foot Fracture – Metatarsal fracture of 5th metatarsal due to injury

Our podiatrists (foot and ankle doctors) provide treatment for a host of runners, from young children to teenagers to adults who run marathons. The range of runners our podiatrist office (foot and ankle doctor office) provides treatment for ranges from long distance runners to sprinters to weekend joggers or even those people who run or walk on a treadmill. The repetitive nature of running (or even walking) can cause many different problems for runners (and walkers), including heel injury and heel pain (plantar fasciitis), or even a running-related foot fractures or heel fracture (or a stress fractures).

An ankle sprain is a common painful ankle problem our foot and ankle doctors commonly see in our Northwest Indiana office. Treatment of an ankle sprain by our doctors (podiatrists) can range from taping or casting to immobilization in a brace or improved biomechanics with custom made orthotics to surgery.

Running takes a toll on the tendons in the foot and ankle and running can cause severe tendonitis or a running injury can tear a tendon (rupture a tendon). Other running problems include bursitis (particularly painful bursitis of the heel), running nerve problems (such as a neuroma or tarsal tunnel syndrome), Achilles tendon pain or an Achilles tendon tear or a serious running injury, such as an ankle sprain or foot fracture or even simple issues such as heel pain, a heel spur or plantar fasciitis; or even a painful ingrown toe nail.Treatment for these (and other foot and ankle pain and problems) is common in our Northwest Indiana foot and ankle doctor (podiatrist) office.

Plantar fasciitis, heel spurs or heel pain may also be treating with an injection of cortisone (steroid injection). Many runners suffer with heel pain and an injection may be a good option to get back to activity quickly. Cortisone injections for heel pain or tendonitis issues of the foot and ankle are not for everyone. 

Runners can easily take a wrong step and end up with an ankle sprain or twisted ankle, or a foot injury, including a foot or ankle fracture (broken bone), strained ankle or ligament, or torn tendon. Running injury can occur nowadays just about anywhere – both indoors and outdoors. Our podiatrist office offers treatment for treadmill running injury of the foot or ankle, or treadmill walking injury of the foot or ankle, and we have seen elliptical injury to the foot and ankle as well.

Running can aggravate a bunion and cause bunion pain as well and you may need treatment for a painful bunion. If you are a diabetic and a runner, it is important to watch your feet for a diabetic foot problem or a diabetic foot infection. A simple blister in a person with diabetes can become serious very quickly. Persons with diabetes are prone to develop neuropathy and neuropathy in the feet is nerve problem that we may be able to help alleviate for you.

Some minor foot or ankle problems are often treated in the office. In these cases, we autoclave surgical instruments and employ high standards of safety for our patients and pride ourselves on educating patients about their foot or ankle injury or problem. We also try to get you in quickly when you have an urgent foot or ankle problem. If you are interested in being a new patient you can make an appointment by clicking here or calling (219)663-2273 (our new patient forms are here). You can read patient reviews here.

Most runners who have a running foot or ankle injury or running pain dread the thought of not being able to run because of a foot or ankle injury. The podiatrists at our Northwest Indiana practice strive to keep runners running, while alleviating their foot or ankle problem, or at a minimum, getting the patient running as soon as possible. If you have a running injury of the foot or ankle, do not run through it hoping it will subside (which it often does not), make an appointment for treatment with one of our podiatrists.

Barefoot Running Injury Treatment

Barefoot running is common nowadays, and Dr. Nirenberg has long worn minimalist shoes when running and usually wears a minimalist, zero drop heel shoe in the office (Vibram).

Barefoot running and barefoot runners who need treatment of a barefoot running injury (barefoot running injury treatment) will find Dr. Nirenberg very knowledgeable about the benefits of barefoot running (and the risks). Barefoot running is not for everyone, though there is scientific evidence as to the benefits of barefoot running and walking — he is truly a barefoot friendly podiatrist!

Sports Medicine Dance Foot and Ankle Injury Treatment

Dancing may not be considered a sport but dance can be just a grueling as many other sports. Dance injury of the foot or dance injury of the ankle can be minor or serious. Our foot and ankle doctors (podiatrists) treat a range of dance problems, from an ankle sprain to tendon tears to a toe fracture. Treatment of dance foot and ankle injury is common by our podiatrists (foot and ankle doctors) at our Northwest Indiana office and may involve custom made arch supports (foot orthotics), physical therapy, casting, injections or foot or ankle surgery.

Dancers often subject their body, and particularly their feet, to severe stress. Common problems our podiatrists treat with dancers includes dance injury of the toenail (including an ingrown toenail), a nerve entrapment, shin splints, tendonitis and heel pain (plantar fasciitis).

For flatfeet in dancers or other sports enthusiasts, the HyProCure may be a good option to restore an improved arch in the foot. Dr. Nirenberg is trained in the HyProCure procedure, a relatively small surgery that can lessen strain and pain in person’s with a low arch or a flatfoot. The HyProCure can be done for adults or children.
