Sports Injuries Keeping Your Feet Happy & Healthy

Thousand Oaks Foot & Ankle Sports Injuries

We Help Athletes Get Back in the Game as Quickly as Possible

Foot and ankle injuries are a typical hazard for athletes. Virtually every sport puts some sort of strain on the feet and ankles, making them more vulnerable to injury. When treating these types of injuries, it is important that your care provider advises you on how long you need to rest before resuming training. Putting strain on a wound that has not fully healed can result in an even more severe injury that will keep you from your regular routine even longer.

At Performance Foot and Ankle, our experienced podiatrists have treated many different types of sports injuries on the feet and ankles. We know that our patients want to get back in shape as quickly as possible so that they can get back to what’s important. Our podiatrist’s extensive experience with sports-related injuries helps them evaluate a patient’s recovery and plan a comprehensive and time-effective treatment plan.

If you have a sports-related foot or ankle injury, contact Performance Foot and Ankle today. We serve Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, and the surrounding areas.

Sports Injuries We Frequently Treat

Podiatry sports injuries can be a result of an accident or wear and tear from training. Our podiatrists treat both types.

The following are some common sports injuries:

  • Ankle sprains and strains – A sprain might feel like a bone fracture, but it is actually tissue damaged that occurs when the ligaments in the leg are stretched beyond their limits.
  • Contusions – These are injuries caused by blunt trauma to the bone or soft tissue. They usually swell and may show signs of bruising.
  • Shin splints – This injury is usually caused by repetitive movement from running and aerobics, particularly when the athlete exercises in quick succession without taking enough time to rest. Shin splits will throb and ache after running or exercising, and can make it impossible to do your normal workout routine.
  • Tendinitis – This is an inflammation of the tendons. In addition to painful sensations in the leg, you may experience redness, heat, and swelling along the tendon.
  • Plantar fasciitis – This is a common injury for runners. Plantar fasciitis manifests as heel pain due to an inflammation on the long tendon running along the bottom of the foot.

The podiatrists at Performance Foot and Ankle provide treatment for these and other types of sports injuries on the feet and ankles. Call (805) 380-3152 today to schedule an appointment.

Hear from Our Happy Patients
  • "I highly recommend this place!"
    The process was smooth and efficient from the start. After filling out "contact us" form on their website, I received a call within 30 minutes to set up my appointment. The staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming. When I arrived, I handed them the printed form, and I was seen almost immediately. Dr. Patel was fantastic—he took the time to listen to all my concerns, identified the cause of my issue, and provided a clear solution. He even showed me at-home remedies and offered tips on how to prevent the problem in the future, without making me feel pressured to buy any treatment products. He went above and beyond in his care. Overall, a great experience!

  • "They do excellent work and care about their patients."
    Going to performance foot and ankle. It's like going to your salon or Barber. Once you find a good stylus, you won't leave them. Doctor Patel and his staff are like that. My dad has been going to them for years he's 102 years old. They do excellent work and care about their patients.

  • "I highly recommend!"
    Dr. Patel and his staff were absolutely incredible! I was having issues with my foot for about 5 years and I had been to numerous doctors without success. Then I met Dr. Patel and I’m happy to report that my issue is now solved! So thankful and could not be happier. Everyone here is super nice, down to earth and they genuinely care about you, the patient, which was super important to me. I was very impressed with how they go about their business and I highly recommend!

  • "Can't thank her enough"
    Dr. Gifford was very knowledgeable with explaining the cause of my heel pain and gave me a painless injection. She was very friendly and took her time with answering all my questions. Can't thank her enough because I'm back to my normal workout routine without any pain!

  • "Dr Gifford and her team are communicative, caring and highly capable."
    Dr. Gifford and her team are amazing and I recommend Dr. Gifford without hesitation. She provided me with multiple options to address Achilles issues. I ultimately needed surgery and the results have allowed me to walk without pain and return to activities I had been missing. My incision site is imperceptible. Dr Gifford and her team are communicative, caring and highly capable.

  • "This is what medical care should be!"
    Excellent customer service, and thorough care. Dr. Patel was down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and skilled (my kind of doc). The office was clean, and well-run. Billing was smooth as well without any of the hiccups you get at other offices. This is what medical care should be!
