A sports podiatrist specifically treats sports injuries that involve the feet. Your feet are responsible for holding the full weight of your body, making them incredibly important, especially if you need to move quickly and precisely. Podiatrists understand how weight and repeated use damage the bones and muscles of your ankles and feet; sports podiatrists have additional education to learn how the motion and stress of sports impact these conditions. As a result, they're able to offer several valuable services:
Orthotic testing and prescriptions
Shoe evaluations
Foot screening and assessments
