According to Statistics Canada, “35% of injuries occurred during participation in some type of sports or exercise. Two–thirds (66%) of injuries among young people (aged 12 to 19) were related to sports. This was more than twice as high as working-age adults (29%) and about seven times higher than seniors (9%).” Additionally, “the most commonly injured body part among young people (aged 12 to 19) was their feet or ankles (33%).”
If you play a sport, be it basketball, baseball, hockey, football, soccer, or run, you may be exposed to pervasive sports-related injuries. Foot or ankle-related pain or injuries could come about through a combination of bio mechanics and the inherent nature of these strenuous activities.
Common problems include:
-A sprained ankle
-Tendinitis -Fasciitis
-Arthritis
-Muscle ache, and
-Pain related to the toenail
Having a proper foot care specialist to assess the situation would be the smartest choice to full recovery.
