Treatment For Moderate To Severe Sports Injuries
If you experience a moderate to severe sports-related foot injury such as a fracture or break, it is vital that you see your podiatrist as soon as possible to prevent severe pain and permanent damage to the affected area. Severe sprains, strains, and dislocations should also be examined by a foot doctor to ensure that it heals properly and no additional treatment is needed.
Treatments for these more severe sports-related foot injuries can vary from a simple brace and activity restriction to complete foot surgery. Severe tendonitis may require something to restrain the affected tendon from making the movement that is causing the inflammation and may require stronger medications. Treatment for severe dislocations may consist of the bone being properly reset or repositioned and immobilized. If you are uncertain about the severity of a sport-related injury that you have received, it is best to go ahead and give one of our offices a call to ensure that the injury is properly treated!
