Sports podiatry - Clínica Navarro Podología

What is it and what does it involve?

Sports podiatry focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of foot injuries and conditions related to athletic activity.

Its main goal is to balance plantar pressures and movement mechanics during walking or running, preventing excessive fatigue in muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints, and avoiding injuries caused by improper gait or overuse.

Treatments

At Clínica Navarro Podología, the sports podiatry consultation begins with a biomechanical study of walking and running, adapted to the type of sport practiced by each patient.

Based on the results, personalized treatments are designed, which may include:

Custom-made foot orthotics designed to optimize gait and performance.
Re-education of sports technique and gait.
Treatment and prevention of muscular, tendon, and joint injuries.
Advice on the most suitable sports footwear.
Monitoring programs and follow-up assessments.

The most common injuries in athletes treated at our clinic are:

Plantar fasciitis.
Pain in knees, hips, back, or spine.
