The foot and ankle are complex parts of your body that are frequently injured in athletic activities. Your foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 ligaments. At Greater Houston Foot & Ankle Specialists, we provide expertise in treating sports injuries.

When running, your feet and ankles handle and absorb a force that is 3-4 times your body weight. With impact sports like basketball, tennis, football, and volleyball, forces can reach up to 8 times your body weight.

To help you return to your athletic activities as quickly as possible, we have a wide range of medical regimens from non-surgical treatments to advanced surgical procedures. Our goal is to optimize your healing time while you completely recover.
