Sports Medicine Q&A

What is sports medicine?

Sports medicine is a podiatry subspecialty that diagnoses and treats activity-related injuries.

At Stepping Stone Foot & Ankle, the team uses sports medicine to help athletes and other active people prevent injuries and maximize their performance.

Sports Medicine takes a minimally invasive and integrative approach to pain relief. Instead of masking symptoms with prescription drugs, it addresses the underlying cause and promotes healing.

What types of foot and ankle problems can benefit from Sports Medicine?

Stepping Stone Foot & Ankle is proactive about preventive care. The team encourages you to schedule an exam regularly — typically once or twice a year — to have a comprehensive exam. This gives your dedicated podiatrist a chance to thoroughly evaluate the health of your lower extremities and talk with you about any concerns they may notice.

Foot and ankle injuries
Plantar fasciitis
Hammertoes
Flatfeet
Sprains and strains
Fractures
