Flagstaff Podiatry Helps Athletes and Service Industry Workers

Besides just athletes, restaurant workers, too, are often in need of Flagstaff sports podiatry. They work long hours on feet that may already have issues. Worse still, many are athletes as well, and continue to put miles onto their feet after work is over. For many restaurant workers and athletes, it’s hard to sit still, especially in a place like Flagstaff.

With so many great trails and sport options, and such good weather, it’s not hard to overwork our feet. The peaks are also close, with accessible climbing, hiking, mountain biking, skiing and snowboarding. This is a double-edged sword for many service industry workers. These people work grueling long hours on their feet, and then spend much of their free time in the great outdoors. This might sound wonderful, and it is. But it also puts a lot of stress on feet and ankles.

Flagstaff sports podiatry helps relieve the stress athletes put on their feet, even when they over work them. The care can be preventative, even if there are no preexisting conditions. The truth is that most people don’t realize that they are overworking their feet and ankles. Most people also don’t know that seemingly small injuries can compound or cause arthritis.

That’s why Flagstaff sports podiatry is so important. Especially for athletes who double as service industry workers, regular podiatric visits are essential for continued enjoyment of the sports they love. Most athletes dream of staying fit into their older years, but often they feel prevented by their arthritic feet or injured ankles. This doesn’t have to be the status quo anymore.


Modern technology, coupled with extensive research an education, enables this Flagstaff sports podiatrist to care for athletes and keep them running well into their older years. Fractured feet and arthritis are two common sports injuries that are easily helped with podiatric care. Athletes who are suffering should seriously consider Flagstaff sports podiatry.
