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 Albemarle, Concord, Matthews, Wake Forest, Gastonia, or Monroe, or one of the two clinics in Charlotte, North Carolina. The dedicated podiatry team can use on-site imaging to quickly diagnose you and treat you with a personalized sports medicine plan. Before your injury worsens, book an exam through the website or over the phone with the office nearest you.

Early intervention ensures optimal healing. It’s particularly important to have a podiatric sports medicine exam at InStride Family Foot Care if you had an injury to your lower extremities. A sudden twist or fall, or an injury that occurs because someone landed on your foot, are urgent issues that require prompt medical intervention.
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):
While conservative sports medicine treatments are beneficial in most cases, surgery is sometimes necessary. 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.
