Sports Injuries Care

Sports and physical activity put tremendous pressure on the feet and ankles, making them highly vulnerable to injuries. Athletes, gym-goers, and even recreational sports enthusiasts often experience conditions such as ankle sprains, Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, fractures, ligament tears, and stress injuries. Proper sports injury care ensures safe recovery and long-term foot health.

Types of Common Sports Injuries

  • Ankle sprains - Caused by Twist of ankle on uneven or flat surfaces.
  • Stress fractures – Common in runners due to repetitive strain.
  • Plantar Fasciitis - The heel attachment of plantar fascia gets sore
  • Achilles tendon injuries – Caused by overuse or improper warm-up.
  • Turf toe – A sprain of the big toe joint, common in athletes.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Accurate diagnosis is essential before treatment. At Delhi Foot, we perform clinical examinations, imaging, and gait assessments to pinpoint the exact cause.

Treatment and Recovery

  • Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) for acute injuries.
  • Braces, orthotics, and taping for stability and faster healing.
  • Physiotherapy to restore strength, flexibility, and balance.
  • Minimally invasive procedures or surgery for ligament tears or chronic conditions.

Rehabilitation and Prevention

  • Progressive rehabilitation programs help athletes return to their sport safely.
  • Customized footwear reduces stress on the foot and ankle.
  • Warm-up exercises, stretching, and strength training prevent recurrence.
  • Gradual return-to-play schedules lower re-injury risk.
