At Atherton Foot Clinic, I appreciate the importance of staying active and participating in sports. However, these pursuits can sometimes lead to lower limb issues, with heel pain being a common concern. The podiatrist specialises in diagnosing and treating sports-related lower limb conditions, offering comprehensive rehabilitation to help you return to your active lifestyle.
Understanding Sports Injuries & Heel Pain:
Sports injuries and lower limb issues can result from various factors, including:
1. Overuse: Repetitive stress and strain on the feet and lower limbs due to sports activities can lead to injuries, including heel pain.
2. Biomechanical Factors: Irregular foot alignment, gait abnormalities, or inadequate footwear can contribute to the development of conditions like plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendinitis, which often result in heel pain.
3. Trauma: Accidents or sudden impacts during sports can result in sprains, strains, or other injuries to the lower limb, potentially causing heel pain.
4. Heel Pain Conditions: Conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, bursitis etc can cause sharp, persistent pain in the heel area, affecting your mobility and enjoyment of physical activities.
