Sports Injuries & Trauma

Athlete experiencing ankle discomfort on the field. Visit Foot & Ankle Center of Arizona for expert care.

Understanding Sports Injuries & Trauma

Foot and ankle injuries are common in active individuals of all ages, from competitive athletes to weekend runners. Because these structures absorb significant impact and provide critical stability, even minor trauma can lead to pain, weakness, or loss of mobility. This is where our board-certified specialists can help. 

By providing an evidence-based diagnosis and treatment for the full spectrum of sports-related conditions, from simple sprains to complex tendon and fracture injuries, we’ll help you return to activity safely and confidently.

If you're affected by any of the following, you may have a common sports injury or trauma:

  • Sudden or worsening pain in the foot, heel, ankle, or lower leg
  • Swelling, bruising, or stiffness after activity or impact
  • Difficulty bearing weight, pushing off, or maintaining balance
  • A popping sensation, sharp twinge, or sudden loss of strength
  • Instability or repeated “rolling” of the ankle
  • Limited range of motion or difficulty returning to normal activity
