INJURIES
At Tanglewood Foot Specialists we treat sports and fitness related injuries
to the feet and lower extremities. Most commonly, we work with runners, cyclists,
gymnasts, dancers, and soccer, football, baseball, basketball, and tennis
players.
The most common injuries resulting from overuse are
stress
fractures, heel pain, Achilles tendonitis and neuromas. While these conditions can be
treated without casts or surgery, they do require close medical supervision.
Very often, the treatment of sports injuries begin with an understanding
of the underlying biomechanics that causes them. Dr. Schneider will perform
a comprehensive biomechanical evaluation to determine how to best control
these biomechanical forces, to allow for a quick recovery and to prevent
further injury.

If left untreated or if exercise is resumed prematurely, the injury can be
further aggravated. Our goal is to work together with you to minimize your
downtime, if any, and get you healed as quickly as possibly. We will also examine
your training habits and take measures to prevent injuries from reoccurring.
And know this…
we won’t make you stop your training unless it is
absolutely necessary.
