At Atherton Foot Clinic, I recognise the importance of staying active and participating in sports. However, these pursuits can sometimes lead to lower limb issues, with plantar fasciitis being a common concern. The podiatrist specialises in diagnosing and treating sports-related lower limb conditions, offering rehabilitation to help you get back to your active lifestyle.
Understanding Sports Injuries & Plantar Fasciitis:
Sports injuries and lower limb issues can result from various factors, including:
1. Overuse: Repeated stress and strain on the foot and lower limb due to sports activities can lead to injuries, including plantar fasciitis.
2. Biomechanical Factors: Irregular foot alignment, gait abnormalities, or inadequate footwear can contribute to the development of conditions like plantar fasciitis.
3. Trauma: Accidents or sudden impacts during sports can result in sprains, strains, or other injuries to the lower limb.
4. Plantar Fasciitis: This condition involves inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. It often causes heel pain, especially in the morning or after periods of inactivity.
