The Role of Sports Medicine Specialists at Foot and Ankle Centers

Achilles tendinitis is a common injury among athletes and active individuals, often caused by repetitive stress or overuse. Sports medicine specialists play a crucial role in diagnosing and treating this condition, providing comprehensive care that promotes healing and prevents further damage.

A sports medicine specialist will conduct a thorough evaluation to identify the underlying causes of your Achilles pain, such as improper footwear or muscle imbalances. Based on the diagnosis, they may recommend a combination of treatments, including physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, or even platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy to accelerate healing.

Additionally, sports medicine experts can offer advice on proper stretching techniques, footwear, and training adjustments to help you return to activity safely and prevent future injuries. At Foot & Ankle Centers, our sports medicine specialists are dedicated to your recovery, ensuring you get back on your feet with personalized care.
