Spring is here, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to embrace a more active lifestyle! As the weather warms up, many of us are eager to get outside, go for runs, walk through the park, or enjoy outdoor sports. But with all the extra activity comes the potential for foot and ankle issues, especially if you’ve been a little less active during the winter months. Did you know the average person takes about 10,000 steps every day? That’s a lot of stress on your feet, and with the various surfaces and inclines we walk on, foot problems are common.

Get Active with Sports Medicine
If you’re an athlete, or just someone who loves being active, you know that injuries can happen. The team at Professional Podiatry Services of New York specializes in Sports Medicine, focusing on helping you recover from injuries and get back to the activities you love. Whether you're training for a marathon or simply taking brisk walks, spring is the perfect time to increase your activity level—but make sure your feet and ankles are ready for the challenge!
Sports Medicine focuses on treating injuries that arise from sports and physical activity. From sprained ankles to stress fractures, we are here to help you recover quickly and safely so you can stay active and injury-free.
Common Sports Injuries We Treat:
- Ankle Sprains: Rolling your ankle can cause pain, swelling, and bruising. If untreated, it could lead to chronic instability.

- Heel Pain: Often caused by plantar fasciitis, heel pain can limit your mobility. We pinpoint the cause and provide effective treatment.
- Peroneal Tendinitis: Overuse of the tendons on the outside of your lower leg can lead to inflammation and pain.
