Dr Nrupa Shah of Affiliated Foot and Ankle Care discusses the sports related foot problems and Sports Medicine.

Your feet are one of the most overlooked body parts when it comes to exercise, yet they can tell you so much about your overall health. As you exercise, pay attention to what your feet are telling you.

 

Make sure to consult your physician before beginning any fitness program. This includes a complete physical and foot exam and especially important for those who are overweight, smoke, or haven't pursued any physical activity in a long time.

 

The American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) stresses the importance of foot care in exercising. People don't realize the tremendous pressure that is put on their feet while exercising. For example, a 150-pound jogger puts more than 150 tons of impact on his or her feet when running three miles. The APMA also reports that improper foot care during exercise is a contributing factor to some of the more than 300 foot ailments.

http://ww.footandanklenj.com

 

 

Hello, I completed my Bachelors degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, NJ and completed my medical school training from New York college of Podiatric Medicine in New York. I then completed my foot and ankle surgical residency training at Hoboken University Medical Center in Hoboken NJ.

 

One of the reasons I became interested in podiatry is this is one field I can see variety of backgrounds ranging from pediatrics to geriatrics to athletes. Podiatric medicine is a unique and comprehensive approach for treating foot and ankle pathologies covering medicine, biomechanics and surgery all in one.

 

It gives me an internal happiness when I see the smile on patient's faces after the treating their condition. I can make difference in people's lives by getting them back into their normal life.

Midlothian and Chesterfield, VA - Sports Injuries - Podiatrist - John McMahon, DPM

Dr. John McMahon of Adult & Child Foot & Ankle Care, discusses the symptoms, causes and treatments for sports injuries.

http://www.acfac.com

Many sports are hard on the feet because of quick repetitive movements, constricting footwear, and/or increased exposure to injury or trauma. Following is a brief overview of some of the most common injuries that result from particular sports.

Martial Arts and Kick Boxing
Injuries commonly seen as a result of martial arts and kick boxing include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, sesamoiditis, and ankle sprains. Stretching is recommended to help prevent injury: specifically, a minimum of 15 minutes of stretching before performing any kicking or punching.

Aerobics                                                 
Impact forces from aerobics can reach up to six times the force of gravity, which is transmitted to each of the 26 bones in the foot. That is why proper shoes are crucial to successful, injury-free aerobics. Shoes should provide sufficient cushioning and shock absorption to compensate for pressure on the foot many times greater than found in walking. They must also have good medial-lateral stability.

Team Sports
Activities such as football, baseball, basketball, soccer, field hockey, and lacrosse often lead to ankle injuries as a result of play on artificial surfaces, improper footwear, and/or inadequate stretching.

Plantar fasciitis is the term commonly used to refer to heel and arch pain traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. Overpronation is the most common cause of plantar fasciitis. As the foot rolls inward excessively when walking, it flattens the foot, lengthens the arch, and puts added tension on the plantar fascia. Over time, this causes inflammation. In persistent cases, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Treatment (ESWT) may be used to treat the heel pain.

Midtown Manhattan Podiatrist Dr. Ernest Isaacson discusses the symptoms, causes and treatments for Stress Foot Fracture.

http: http://www.doctorisaacson.com

Stress Fractures: Stress fractures are small cracks in the surface of a bone. Runners generally notice gradual muscle soreness, stiffness, and pain on the affected bone, most often in the lower leg or the foot. Early diagnosis is critical as the small fracture can spread and eventually become a complete fracture of the bone. Stress fractures are typically caused by an increase in training that occurs more quickly than the body's ability to build up and strengthen the bone. If you have symptoms of a stress fracture, you should stop running immediately and see a podiatrist at Foot HealthCare Associates. This injury can keep a runner off the roads for several weeks and is not an injury that you can run through. Depending on the severity of the stress fracture, a cast may be necessary.

Heel Pain

Plantar fasciitis (or heel pain) is commonly traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. Our practice can evaluate arch pain, and may prescribe customized shoe inserts called orthoses to help alleviate the pain.

Plantar fasciitis is caused by inflammation of the connective tissue that stretches from the base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to the point at which it inserts into the heel bone. Also called "heel spur syndrome," the condition can usually be successfully treated with conservative measures such as use of anti-inflammatory medications and ice packs, stretching exercises, orthotic devices, and physical therapy.

Sports Foot Injuries - Podiatrist in Lake Success and Valley Stream, NY

12.00 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

Sports Foot Injuries - Podiatrist, Valley Stream and Lake Success, NY

 

 

 Dr. Mary Ann Bilotti of Long Island Podiatry Group discusses Sports Medicine.

http://centralpodiatry.com

If you visit Central Podiatry Associates, P.C., you may find yourself sitting next to a seven foot tall college basketball star or perhaps a burly 300 pound linebacker.

Since 1982, the doctors have been the team podiatrists for Fordham University's Rose Hill campus in the Bronx. Contrary to what you might think, sports injuries of the foot and ankle are on the increase. It seems every other day a major athlete is fracturing a bone or injuring a ligament.

"We are extremely busy at the college," said Dr. Bilotti. "Athletes from every sport are subject to overuse and stress injuries. For example, men and women track teams suffer from shin splints, arch pain and Runner's Knee (all treatable foot conditions)," Bilotti said.

"Whereas during football and basketball seasons, ankle sprains and stress fractures are more common."

It seems each season the busy Doctors treat student athletes from football, baseball, men and women's basketball, track and cross country. Not to mention an occasional soccer and tennis injury.

Are there really that many sports injuries related to the foot? Apparently yes; in fact. the Drs. treat an average of 15 to 25 athletes on a typical Friday afternoon. "We have been working at Fordham since 1981," says Dr. Bilotti (a former star athlete herself and a member of the Fordham University Hall of Fame) "We started out 10 years ago at the invitation of the team's athletic trainer and on the very first visit treated over 30 students. Every Friday afternoon since 1981, my husband, Dr. Caprioli, and I travel to the Bronx campus to treat the athletes before their Saturday games. Besides being team doctors we're big Fordham sports fans."

 

"Most people have no idea how valuable we are to the team," explains Dr. Caprioli. "Injury prevention is our main concern. For example, a football player on scholarship develops painful shin splints (soreness in the lower legs after running or overexertion). Before this problem progresses to a possible stress fracture, we evaluate and treat the student in this case exercise, prescription medication, and orthotics (custom foot molds to prevent excessive pulling on the skin muscles). The athlete feels better, the coach is happy not to lose a player, and the college benefits by maintaining a good athletic program."

"The Fordham campus is a beautiful oasis in the Bronx," states Dr. Caprioli. "We encourage our patients and their families to attend the home games. The university is located next to the N.Y. Botanical Gardens, The Bronx Zoo and Arthur Ave. ("Little Italy of the Bronx") a short 20 minute ride from Valley Stream (Whitestone Bridge to Hutchenson Parkway to Pelham Parkway West follow signs to Fordham University.

Shockwave Therapy for Foot Problems and Foot Pain - Podiatrist in Valley Stream and Lake Success, NY

 Dr. Russell Caprioli of Long Island Podiatry Group discusses Shockwave Therapy for Foot Pain.

http://www.LIPods.com

 

The most common cause of heel pain is a heel spur. A heel spur is a bony prominence located on the bottom of the heel bone (see diagram). The major cause of heel spurs is usually due to lowering of this arch or flat feet.

There is a strong ligament on the bottom of the foot called the Plantar Fascia. It is attached to the bottom of the heel bone and stretches across the sole of the foot. The heel spur which is pointed and sharp actually "digs" into this ligament and the ligament becomes inflamed and painful.

The heel spur pain fits a characteristic pattern. It is worse when first stepping on the heel in the morning. Symptoms may then ease up slightly or disappear only to begin again with the first few steps after a period of inactivity.

Initial treatment usually involves injecting the area with Cortisone to help temporarily relieve the pain. A more permanent type of treatment involves the use of custom supports called orthotics. These orthotics go into your shoes and can be transferred from one pair of shoes to another.

The combination of Cortisone injections and orthotics is usually long lasting.

There is a new treatment for this condition, called Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT).

Our Orthotics are designed to fit your individual body needs and are definitely not-“one size fits all!”

Custom foot orthotics should not be confused with over the counter “arch supports”. These devises are custom fitted for you and your family at our office either by cast or foam impression or 3-d computer scanning. Orthotics are designed to correct abnormalities of gait and to decrease painful pressure on overly stressed joints, bones and ligaments.

Children can benefit greatly from wearing orthotics especially during the developmental years when bones and joint require structure and support. Adults and athletes know that orthotics can help keep them active during work and recreation and help prevent injury and in many cases the need for surgery. The elderly and diabetic population rely on custom orthotics to relieve pain and prevent potentially limb threatening ulcerations and wounds.

Orthotics can be made for dress shoes, work, sports, growing children and even CUSTOM flip flops and sandals!

Most importantly, custom orthotics are “holistic” and may reduce the need for oral medication; injections and foot surgery. They can also slow the progression of foot deformities and decrease the chances of reoccurrance after foot surgery.

Dr. Albert Giagnacova of Center for Foot and Ankle Excellence discusses the symptoms, causes and treatments for Ankle Sprain.

http://www.centerforfootandankle.com

Ankle sprains are caused by an unnatural twisting or force on the ankle bones of the foot, which may result in excessive stretching or tearing of one or more ligaments on the outside of the ankle. The severity of the sprain can impact the degree of damage as well as the type and duration of treatment. If not properly treated, ankle sprains may develop into long-term problems.

Primary symptoms of ankle sprains are pain following a twist or injury, swelling, and bruising.

Treatment includes resting and elevating the ankle and applying ice to reduce swelling. Compressive bandages also may be used to immobilize and support the injury during healing. Serious ankle sprains, particularly among competitive athletes, may require surgery to repair and tighten the damaged ligaments.

To prevent ankle sprains, try to maintain strength, balance, and flexibility in the foot and ankle through exercising, stretching, and wearing well-fitted shoes.

There are many medical conditions which can cause heel pain, including plantar fasciitis, bursitis, arthritis, Severs disease (or inflammation of the growth center of the heel in children), stress fractures, traumatic injuries, Achilles tendinitis as well as neuritis or nerve pain.  In order to treat heel pain properly and effectively a proper diagnosis by your podiatrist is critical.  If heel pain is not treated the condition can be chronic and worsen, which can negatively affect your lifestyle. 

At Kansas City Foot and Ankle, we review patient history, provide a physical examination, and ancillary testing including x-rays and diagnostic ultrasound.  The procedures we would provide depends upon the cause of the heel pain, as each condition has specific treatment modalities that are a specific type of heel pain.
