Sports Injury Red Flag
Pain that gets worse the longer you play can be a sign of an overuse injury like a stress fracture or tendon inflammation.
This is especially common in:
• runners
• soccer players
• basketball players
• young athletes during growth spurts
If pain improves with rest but returns every time activity starts again, it’s a good idea to get it evaluated before it becomes a bigger injury.
Early treatment can help athletes heal faster and get back to their sport safely.
If you are suffering from foot or ankle pain, make sure to make an appointment with your podiatrist. If you are local, call Southern Oregon Foot & Ankle today!
