Piedmont Sports Medicine
Healthy feet and ankles are essential for your top performance when you are an athlete, either professional, amateur, or a weekend warrior. We at Premier Foot & Ankle Center, LLC, our Piedmont sports medicine is designed to address pain and discomfort, as well as the root cause of them. It is our priority to have you back and playing at your best as quickly as possible.
Virtually all sports and physical activities require the use of your feet, which cannot be said for other parts of your body. Baseball, football, soccer, and basketball are good examples of team sports for whose participants we can offer help. And even many that you do on you own, such as hiking, running, and tennis, will still lead to the occasional foot or ankle injury. Among the more common ones are those of the heel, which includes plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. Achilles tendonitis is also a typical concern. And ankle sprains occur with unfortunate frequency. And while blisters, corns, and Athlete's foot do not present the same level of concern that structural injuries do, they are still bothersome. And in the case of any fungal infection, you don't want it to spread. The good news is that our Piedmont sports medicine will focus on the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment in the most effective manner. Our podiatrist has expertise and experience in working with athletes and understands the difficulties and challenges involved. The goal of our Piedmont sports medicine is to help you to not only heal promptly, but to avoid surgery unless it is the only viable option to deal with the severity of your injury.
We understand that you don't want to be sidelined at all, and our foot doctor is committed to having you back at your full capacity in the most timely fashion under the circumstances. Call us to schedule an appointment.
