Sports Injury Podiatrist in Scottsdale

Running, hiking, golf, pickleball, gym workouts and competitive sports place significant demands on the feet and ankles.

When pain begins interfering with activity, identifying the actual injury is more important than simply resting indefinitely and hoping it resolves.

At Sole Solution AZ, Dr. Matine Mirsaidi evaluates sports-related foot and ankle injuries with the goal of helping patients recover appropriately and safely return to activity.

Sports Injuries We Evaluate

Conditions may include:

• Ankle sprains
• Tendon injuries
• Plantar fasciitis
• Heel pain
• Stress injuries
• Metatarsal pain
• Forefoot injuries
• Sesamoid problems
• Achilles tendon conditions
• Overuse injuries
• Toe injuries
• Nail trauma
• Exercise-related foot pain

When Should You Get an Injury Checked?

Consider an evaluation when:

• Pain persists despite rest
• Swelling continues
• Walking becomes painful
• You cannot comfortably return to your sport
• Pain repeatedly returns with activity
• You have significant bruising
• You experience focal bone pain
• The injury is worsening rather than improving

Some stress injuries and fractures can initially feel similar to a simple strain, making diagnosis important when symptoms persist.

Diagnostic Evaluation

Your visit begins with a history and physical examination.

When clinically appropriate, additional imaging or diagnostic evaluation may be recommended.

Sole Solution AZ also offers diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound for selected lower-extremity conditions, allowing certain soft-tissue structures to be evaluated at the point of care when appropriate.

Treatment Designed Around Your Activity

Treatment recommendations depend on the diagnosis and may include:

• Activity modification
• Bracing or immobilization
• Footwear changes
• Rehabilitation
• Physical therapy
• Custom orthotics
• Medication when appropriate
• Other condition-specific treatments
