Sprains, strains & fractures
Hurt today. Answers today.
A rolled ankle on the bridge run. A sore midfoot after pickup. A heel that complains louder every mile of marathon training. Walk in, get a digital X-ray on the spot, and leave knowing exactly what's wrong and exactly how you'll get back.

Signs it's worth getting imaged.
How we treat it
Diagnose it properly. Return deliberately.
The difference between a sprain and a small fracture changes everything about your recovery, and you can't reliably tell them apart without imaging. That's why the X-ray happens here, in the office, during your visit.
An answer, not a guess
Your visit starts with a hands-on exam and instant digital imaging, so treatment starts from facts.
- In-office digital X-ray with results on the spot
- Clear diagnosis: sprain, strain, or fracture
- Honest severity assessment, not worst-case hedging
A real return plan
Treatment is built around getting you back to your sport, not just out of the office.
- Athletic taping and support for active recovery
- Immobilization only when it's genuinely needed
- A week-by-week plan that respects your training
Built for people in motion
We know you're going to run on it anyway.
Athletes are terrible patients, and we mean that affectionately. The plan you'll leave with is built for someone who wants to move: what you can safely keep doing, what to modify, and what genuinely needs rest.
Quick appointments are available because injury timing never cooperates. Call the office and we'll do our best to see you fast.

Injury questions
Asked all the time.
How do I know if it's sprained or broken?
You usually can't, and neither can anyone else without imaging; small fractures regularly hide behind sprain-like symptoms. Since the X-ray happens in our office during your visit, you won't have to wonder.
Should I just rest it and see?
A day or two of rest after a minor tweak is reasonable. But if you still have swelling, bruising, or trouble bearing weight after that, get it looked at. Untreated fractures and bad sprains heal worse and slower.
Are you going to tell me to stop running?
Only if it's truly necessary, and never as a reflex. The goal of the plan is your return to activity. Often the answer is modify, not stop.
Do you only treat athletes?
Not at all. A misstep off a Midtown curb counts every bit as much as a trail run. If your foot or ankle hurts, you're in the right place.
One visit. A clear answer.
The sooner it's diagnosed, the sooner you're back.
