Playing hard this fall? Don’t let hidden injuries keep you out of the game.

Fall sports like soccer, football, and cross-country can take a real toll on your feet and ankles. Common injuries we see this time of year include ankle sprains, stress fractures, Achilles tendonitis, heel pain, turf toe, and shin splints.

Ignoring pain or “playing through it” can turn a small issue into a long recovery. The sooner you get evaluated, the faster you can heal and get back to what you love.

If you’re feeling sore after the game or practice, don’t wait it out. Call Align Foot & Ankle Center today to schedule an appointment.

True or False: “If you can still walk after rolling your ankle, it’s just a mild sprain.”
❌ FALSE.

Even if you can walk, ankle sprains can cause long-term instability or arthritis if not treated properly.

Rest and ice help in the short term, but professional care makes all the difference for healing and prevention.

As the seasons shift, it’s a great time to check your everyday footwear.

Do your shoes still fit properly?
Are they supportive at the heel and arch?
Is the tread worn down?

Old, ill-fitting shoes can lead to pain, instability, or even falls. If you’re dealing with discomfort, don’t ignore it.

We can evaluate your foot structure and recommend the right shoes or inserts to keep you moving pain-free.
