Foot and ankle injuries are very common for athletes and anyone who exercises regularly, including weekend warriors. If you have foot or ankle pain resulting from an injury, contact any of InStride Family Foot Care’s locations in Concord and Charlotte, North Carolina.

InStride Family Foot Care has on-site digital X-ray and diagnostic ultrasound capabilities. This helps in the diagnostic process, so your podiatrist can confirm and rule out conditions and get you started on treatment quickly. The podiatry team provides the following sports medicine solutions (to name a few):

If you need surgery to treat a sports injury, your podiatrist works with you throughout your rehabilitation and helps you cross-train, so you can quickly return to your sport with few to no limitations.
InStride Family Foot Care provide integrative sports medicine solutions for athletes of all levels. Book your sports medicine exam online or over the phone with any office today.
