Lacing Up Shouldn't Mean Sitting Out, States OrthoAtlanta

Atlanta-based surgical group, OrthoAtlanta, urges athletes and sports junkies to choose appropriate footwear to avoid foot and heel injuries.

2012-12-13

NORCROSS, GA, December 13, 2012 (Press-News.org) Atlanta based orthopaedic group, OrthoAtlanta, encourage weekend warriors and avid exercise junkies to research proper footwear before beginning a new sport. Ill-fitting footwear is a major contributor to sports related injuries, believes Atlanta orthopedic doctors.

Proper footwear can mean an athlete is making the finish line first, or sitting out the race because of injury, orthopaedic doctors state. Runners should always choose footwear that cradle their heels and protect their arches, to ensure that the foot is properly maintained during exercise.

"Choosing the wrong piece of athletic gear can be detrimental to a runner or athlete," said Dr. Sharrona Williams, Atlanta Foot and Ankle Surgeon with OrthoAtlanta . "Inappropriate footwear can not only damage the tendons and ligaments of the foot and ankle, but it can damage the joints too, and over a period of time, such damage may be irreparable."

No matter the sports, orthopaedic doctors urge athletes and individuals to find a local retailer that specializes in fitting shoes for different sports. Since each sport requires different styles of footwear, individuals should be utilizing the appropriate design, and not relying on a shoe that they found at a bargain price.

Research the shoe specifically designed for the sports and then find a retailer who can fit the proper shoe for your feet, urge Atlanta orthopaedic surgeons. When an athlete has a well-designed, well-fitted piece of equipment, injury is less likely to occur. While not every injury can be avoid, properly fitting shoes can help lessen the likelihood of injury, state Atlanta orthopaedic doctors at OrthoAtlanta.
