Unleash Your Potential: Foot and Ankle Care for Peak Court Performance

The Podiatrist's Role:

A podiatrist specialized in sports medicine, like Dr. Arya can play a vital role in keeping you on the court.

To maximize your court performance, consider partnering with a podiatrist. We conduct a biomechanical assessment to identify gait abnormalities that may increase your risk of injury. This may involve recommending custom orthotics, which Dr. Arya hand molds for each patient, to improve foot function and reduce stress. Dr. Arya can also provide personalized injury prevention strategies, including tailored exercise programs and footwear guidance. And when injuries occur, we can develop an effective treatment and rehabilitation plan to get you back on the court quickly and safely. Here at Arya Foot & Ankle, we offer convenient in-house X-ray and ultrasound services, and we're open during lunch hours, on Saturdays, and most weekdays to accommodate your busy schedule. Visit our website at www.aryafootandankle.com or call us at 602-309-8788 to set up an appointment.

By prioritizing foot and ankle care, you can minimize your risk of injury, enhance your performance, and unleash your true potential on the court.
