🏀 Sports injuries have terrible timing.
One minute you're running, hiking, playing a pickup game, or enjoying a weekend outside. The next, your ankle rolls, your heel starts hurting, or that little pain you've been ignoring suddenly isn't so little anymore.
Sprains, tendon injuries, stress fractures, heel pain and other foot and ankle injuries are common when you're active. And as tempting as it can be to “walk it off,” sometimes that just makes the road back longer.
The important thing is figuring out what actually happened so it can heal properly.
At Rainier Foot & Ankle, we treat athletes of all kinds - from student athletes and serious runners to hikers, pickleball players and weekend warriors who may have gone just a little too hard. 😄
Summer isn't over yet. Don't spend the rest of it on the sidelines.
If something hurts, give our Enumclaw office a call at 360-761-1285. Same-day appointments may be available.
