We Aim To Keep You in the Game

Athletes, men, women, and children—those who are frequently involved in sporting activities, are generally at a higher risk of getting a foot or ankle injury. Overuse and intense pressure placed on muscles, ligaments, and tendons of the lower extremity are typically caused by repetitive motions that often cause stress and lead to injury of the foot or ankle.

Some of the most common injuries caused by sporting activities include ankle sprains, peroneal tendonitis, stress fractures, chronic ankle instability, heel pain, injury to the Achilles tendon, and injury to the sesamoid bones. If you’re frequently involved in sporting activities and would like more information on how to best protect your foot and ankle, we recommend you speak with one of our podiatrists at Arbor-Ypsi Foot & Ankle Centers for your Ann Arbor Sports Medicine professional care and advice.

What is Sports Medicine?

Speciality Treatment

In Washtenaw County, we treat sports and exercise-related injuries using a variety of physical therapy techniques meant to alleviate pain and promote healing. Our mission is to assist patients in continuing to play or perform at their highest level.

Sports in which ankle sprains commonly occur include soccer, tennis, and cheerleading. Ankle sprains are caused by a tear in the ligament of the ankle, which typically occurs when the foot is rolled in an awkward manner. Other injuries include strained muscles, tendonitis, and Plantar Fasciitis. Ankle sprains are usually accompanied with bruising, swelling, and pain. Those who have sprained an ankle in the past may run the risk of developing chronic ankle instability. Those with this condition will generally feel a persistent pain, swelling, and tenderness in the ankle, and may experience the sensation of the ankle giving way when performing everyday activities.

What are the benefits of Sports Medicine?

Specialized Care

Specific Treatment

Our Sports Medicine - trained physicians treat athletes, fitness professionals, and active families. They are familiar with the effects of sports and exercise on patient's bodies, such as repetitive motion injuries. Our doctors will collaborate with you and physical therapists to design individualized treatment programs for each patient.

Enhanced Injury and Re-Injury Preventive Measures

As a result, our doctors provide patients with expert advice and instructions on preventing injuries and avoiding re-injury of previously injured areas. Our patients can undergo pre-participation physical tests to ensure they are ready to resume activities. Our doctors can then assist both professional and amateur athletes in making crucial "return to play" choices.

Superior Athletic Efficiency

Frequently, Sports Medicine specialists are involved in the development of individualized training regimens based on an athlete's specific demands, capabilities, and shortcomings. These professionals have the expertise and resources necessary to assess an athlete's anatomical strengths and weaknesses, prescribe training regimens, and identify areas for improvement.
