Sydney Sports Podiatry
Clinical Focus on Sports Injuries
At Sydney Sports Podiatry, we have a focused clinical interest in the assessment and management of sports-related injuries. While many of our patients are runners and walkers—ranging from children and recreational athletes to elite professionals—you do not have to be an athlete to visit our clinic.
Many of our patients seek assistance for daily walking discomfort. It is well-documented that foot mechanics and lower limb biomechanics can influence discomfort in the heels, arches, shins, knees, and hips. To support our clinical management, we utilise Swiss Dolorclast Shockwave technology at our Sydney CBD and West Pymble locations.
Common Sporting Injuries Managed at our Clinics
Our experienced podiatrists assist with the management of various lower limb conditions on a daily basis:
Foot, Ankle, and Toe Fractures:
These may occur from direct trauma or repetitive stress during high-impact activities.
Plantar Fasciitis:
A common cause of heel pain involving the thick band of tissue (fascia) along the bottom of the foot.
Achilles Tendinopathy:
Often involving the tendon connecting the calf to the heel, frequently seen in sports involving running and jumping.
Heel Spurs:
Bony deposits on the underside of the heel bone, often associated with long-term strain on the plantar fascia.
Stress Fractures:
Small cracks in the bone that can develop from repetitive loading over time.
Shin Splints (MTSS):
Pain along the inner edge of the shinbone, often due to excessive force on the surrounding tissues.
Chronic Ankle Instability:
Often a result of repeated ankle sprains, leading to a sensation of the ankle being “loose” or unstable.
Forefoot Injuries:
Including conditions like metatarsalgia and sesamoiditis, which involve discomfort in the ball of the foot.
Ankle Sprains:
While mild sprains may be managed at home, a clinical evaluation is recommended to investigate the extent of the injury and support long-term stability.
