As the days grow longer, the sun shines stronger, and people feel more comfortable gathering outside, people of all ages are returning to playing sports. Teams are meeting up for practices and games, but many of us haven\u2019t kept up with our normal activity routines during the pandemic. While returning to sports after taking such a long hiatus helps bring everyone back to a healthier lifestyle, it puts everyone at a higher risk for an injury. While there are helpful steps to take to reduce the chances of injury, all athletes assume some risk of injury and it\u2019s important to know how to recognize and when to treat sports injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Consequences When Foot and Ankle Injuries Don\u2019t Get Treated<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With sports camps and school re-opening, more structured athletic activities have resumed. Kids and adults are increasingly likely to get back to playing sports in the near future, if they haven\u2019t already. However, more time practicing and playing games means an increased risk of experiencing sports-related injuries. As it relates to your ankles and feet, some common cases include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/coronafootandankle.com\/foot-and-ankle-treatment\/plantar-fasciitis\/\">Plantar fasciitis<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Achilles tendinitis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stress fractures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Neuroma<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heel spurs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ankle sprains<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>High contact sports like football can result in kids being rushed into the emergency room \u2013 or our office at Corona Foot and Ankle Group. We love helping individuals or groups who have a passion for sports, and provide superior foot and ankle medical support for parents and coaches around the Inland Empire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The consequence for not having the right treatment can mean ongoing problems that will ultimately hinder playing a sport both in the short-term and the long-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Helping Your Kids With Foot Injury Prevention<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Help your kid reduce their risk of injury by taking the following preventative steps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Physicals &#8211; A physical is a good way to gauge if your young athlete is ready to play competitive sports. Routine check-ups help assess any areas of concern beforehand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Warm up and cool down &#8211; Stretching is an important prevention technique that should become a habit for athletes of all ages. Similarly, resting between practices, games and events is equally as important. A lack of sleep and muscle fatigue predispose an athlete to injury. Young athletes are especially prone to injuries related to overuse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prepare your body &#8211; Eating a well-balanced, nutritious diet and staying hydrated are critical habits for any athlete. Wearing the right athletic attire and proper equipment is also critically important to overall safety . Protective equipment like helmets, pads, and well-fitting shoes are very important for injury prevention.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/coronafootandankle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/athletes-foot-vs-foot-fungus.png\" alt=\"athelete's foot vs foot fungus infographic\" class=\"wp-image-2999\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/coronafootandankle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/best-podiatrist-near-me-247x300.jpg\" alt=\"foot-doctor-near-me\" class=\"wp-image-2313\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t forget to make sure your child bathes as soon as they come home from play or practice and puts on a new, fresh pair of socks. It&#8217;s also recommended to sleep barefoot to give your feet time to breathe. Doing so can prevent both athlete&#8217;s foot and toenail fungus.\u201d Dr. Amin D.P.M. DABMSP, principal doctor and founder of Corona Foot and Ankle group. If you or your child suffer from toenail fungus or athlete&#8217;s foot, please make an appointment with one of our doctors immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/coronafootandankle.com\/foot-and-ankle-treatment\/sports-foot-injury\/\">Sports Injuries<\/a> for Both Kids and Adults<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Recognizing Injury<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important that your young athlete learns to communicate any pain or discomfort as soon as possible to a trusted adult. Some kids may try to push through the pain in order to keep playing, but oftentimes this exacerbates the injury. If you notice a change in technique or a limp when running, this is likely a sign that your child is feeling uncomfortable and should be brought out of the game and assessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At any age, it is important for athletes to stop playing when they feel discomfort. If you or your child are experiencing consistent pain during or after sports, swelling around a joint, painful pops, or recurrent instability, please consider seeing a doctor as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Common Injuries<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Common sports injuries include tendon and muscle injuries, ligament injuries, and bone injuries. Tendon and muscle injuries are also known as strains and can cause pain in any muscular organ including nerves. Ligament injuries are when the fibrous tissue that connects two or more bones at a joint is sprained; ankle sprains are a common example especially in young athletes. Fractures and dislocations are extremely painful bone-related injuries that need immediate attention; these can include dislocating a ball and socket joint or a broken bone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Treatment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The immediate treatment of a sports injury can be critical to successful healing. While first-aid treatment is relatively standard, it&#8217;s not universally applicable. After first-aid is rendered and your child is as comfortable as possible with rest, ice, compression, and elevation, the important next step is to get a professional medical assessment and treatment as quickly as possible.
