Central Coast Sports Injury Treatment
Whether you play competitively, train regularly or simply enjoy staying active, a foot or lower limb injury can quickly put you on the sidelines.
East Gosford Podiatry provides sports injury treatment on the Central Coast for a wide range of foot, ankle and lower limb conditions. We work with athletes of all ages and abilities, from weekend runners and junior players through to competitive athletes.
Our focus is simple. Find out what is causing the problem, treat the injury and help you return to activity safely.
Sports Injuries We Treat
Our podiatrists assess and treat a wide range of sporting injuries and conditions, including:
- Achilles tendon pain and tendonitis
- Ankle sprains and instability
- Shin splints
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Stress fractures
- Knee pain related to foot and lower limb mechanics
- Calf and lower leg pain
- Forefoot and metatarsal pain
- Posterior tibial tendon problems
- Recurrent foot and ankle injuries
Not sure exactly what you’ve injured? That’s okay. An assessment is often the best place to start.
Sports Injury Assessment
Pain isn’t always coming from where you think it is. How your feet, ankles, knees and hips move together can play a significant role in both injury and recovery.
Your sports podiatry assessment may include:
- Foot and lower limb assessment
- Biomechanical assessment
- Video gait analysis
- Movement and walking assessment
- Footwear assessment
- Assessment of training and activity
- Referral for diagnostic imaging where required
Once we understand what’s causing the problem, we can recommend the most appropriate treatment.
Helping You Get Back to Sport
Getting rid of pain is only part of sports injury treatment. We also want to understand why the injury occurred and reduce the chance of it happening again.
This may involve looking at your biomechanics, training load, footwear, previous injuries and the specific demands of your sport.
The end goal is getting you back to the activities you enjoy with a clear plan for managing your recovery.
