Ever heard of "athlete’s foot" but thought you can't have it because you're not an athlete or sporty person? Heard of the more technical term "tinea" ? Heard of a thing called "ringworm" (it's definitely the most off putting sounding of the terms) that you can get at places like the gym? 🤔

Well, athlete's foot, tine & ringworm of the foot are all basically the same condition. "Tinea" is the general medical term for a fungal infection, "ringworm" is the common name for that infection, and "athlete’s foot" (tinea pedis) is specifically used when that infection occurs on the feet. But it can get confusing when that itching, burning, cracking, and scaling skin, often found between the toes or on the soles, can be referred to by a few different names. Right?!?! 😅👣

The good news is, regardless of what the packaging calls it, usually an anti fungal cream can nip it - whatever it's called. So no, you don't need to be an athlete to use an athlete's foot anti fungal cream - a lot of it is just branding. Look for the term tinea in the description, as tinea can also turn up anywhere on the body - tinea pedis is the specific medical term for tinea on the feet. Some popular forms of antigungal creams include Terbinafine (Lamisil), Clotrimazole (Lotrimin), Miconazole (Micatin), or Tolnaftate. Speak to your Podiatrists or Pharmacist if you have questions. 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

All of these terms are dermatophytes - a group of fungi (specifically molds) that cause superficial infections of the skin, hair, and nails. They thrive in damp, warm places... like your feet! 🙃

What's most important to avoid getting tinea/athletes foot/ringworm? Keep moisture away! Fungus thrives in moisture. Dry between the toes thoroughly after showering and consider using antifungal powder to reduce moisture. You can also get tinea treatments in the form of sprays & powder (again, often branded as athlete's foot due to a heightened cases in athletes and active people). 👟

A foot injury almost ended the career of AFL legend James Hird in the 90s 👣🏉

After winning the Brownlow in 1996, Hird suffered recurring navicular stress fractures, a serious midfoot injury that limited him to just 7 games in 1997 and only 2 in 1999. Because the navicular bone has a poor blood supply, these stress fractures can be slow to heal and are common in sports involving lots of running, jumping and quick direction changes.

Common signs include:
🔺 Midfoot or top of foot pain
🔺Pain that worsens with running or training
🔺Tenderness in the middle of the foot
🔺Pain that improves with rest but returns with activity

With the right treatment and rehabilitation, Hird returned to elite football and played a key role in Essendon’s 2000 premiership season 🏆

If you’re experiencing ongoing foot pain or a suspected stress injury, early assessment from a Sports Podiatrist can make a big difference.

Sports Podiatrists play an important role in diagnosing and managing complex foot injuries like navicular stress fractures.

Treatment may include:

🔵 Biomechanical assessment of the feet and lower limbs

🔵 Gait analysis to assess running or walking patterns

🔵Custom foot orthoses to reduce stress on the midfoot

🔵Load management and rehabilitation programs

Our Sports Podiatrist Mitch runs comprehensive Sports Podiatry and Biomechanical consultations in Thornbury, designed for athletes and active people with complex or persistent foot and ankle injuries. Book online by choosing the appointment type 'Sports Podiatrist > Biomechanical SPORTS POD' or call 9480 4935!
