Sports Injuries We Treat

• Overuse Injuries

  Sometimes, we take “push yourself” a little too seriously. Without medical attention, overuse injuries run the risk of becoming more wounded. We treat stress fractures, Achilles tendonitis, sesamoiditis, and generalized tendonitis.

• Impact-Related Injuries

  The more people on the field, the more hectic it can get. Fractures, breaks, and dislocations of the foot and ankle happen frequently. The wrong twist can strain a tendon or sprain a ligament. Even minor jams resulting in turf toe need care.

• Toe and Toe Nail Conditions

  It’s no surprise that with increased use, your feet take a hit. Common toe conditions include hallux rigidus, hammertoes, bunions, calluses, and blisters. Toenails may also become injured, leading to ingrown toenails, runner’s toenail (blood blister or subungual hematoma), and fungal infections like athlete’s foot (tinea pedis).

• Other Chronic Conditions

  Chronic conditions cause great frustration amongst athletes. Their mild symptoms and low-level pain often go ignored and untreated until it’s too late. Dr. Nik’s team understands, and we’re here to help. We treat bursitis (of the foot, ankle, and Achilles), arthritis, peripheral neuropathies, plantar fasciitis, and deformities of the foot and arch that require orthotics.
