Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction
Despite its name, posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is more complicated than a simple tendon rupture. A failure to understand its cause and the resulting abnormality leads to the tendon overloading and affecting other ligaments in the foot. Over time, this leads to structural failure and progressive disability.
Turf Toe Recovery
Turf toe refers to an injury of the big toe, when the ligaments underneath the big toe are overextended, damaging the main joint of the toe (also known as the hallux). It is a common injury for athletes, though it is less common than ankle sprains, which have a very high incidence rate. Turf toe recovery requires more time and as a result, keeps players off the field, court or green for longer. With a proper assessment, our leading podiatrists will return your foot to optimal function.
Sports Podiatry & Sports Injuries
Sports podiatry at The Foot Practice is specifically concerned with the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of foot, ankle, and lower limb disorders across all levels of sports. Like a sports foot doctor, a podiatrist focuses on the importance of the lower limb function, including the feet and ankles to help athletes prevent injuries and address performance issues smarter.
Metatarsalgia
Metatarsalgia pain is the general medical term for having inflammation in the ball of the foot. It isn’t a disease in and of itself, but rather a symptom of other problems going on with the foot. The main cause of metatarsalgia is overuse of the foot.
