Treatment for sports podiatric injuries involves a full biomechanical assessment to look at your posture, strength, flexibility and movement of your feet and lower limbs. Evaluation of your shoe wear, as well as application of various physical therapies, active release of muscular trigger points, dry needling and the fitting of orthotics, are ways in which our podiatrists can help to address your injuries.
