Whether you’re an experienced runner, CrossFit enthusiast, Ironman participant, or cycling extraordinaire—we know how important it is for you to stay active. At Premier Podiatry, we treat a wide range of sports-related injuries and chronic foot conditions using both traditional care and cutting-edge regenerative medicine.

Athletes tend to be some of the most eager to get back on their feet—and we want that for you too. But healing is a process, and it takes time, expert guidance, and the right tools to do it properly.

Regenerative Injection Therapy: Natural Healing with Results

We offer a comprehensive range of non-surgical regenerative treatments designed to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain—so you can return to the activities you love:

- Sarapin Injections – A natural, plant-based anti-inflammatory ideal for nerve-related foot pain.
- Alcohol Injections – Used to treat painful neuromas by safely reducing overactive nerve tissue.
- DPMx Injections – Advanced nerve block therapy that targets irritated nerves and delivers long-lasting relief from chronic foot and ankle pain.
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Injections – Uses your own blood’s healing properties to repair damaged tissue and improve recovery time.

These advanced treatments are performed in-office and often combined with other non-invasive options such as K-Laser therapy, compounded topical medications, and supportive footwear recommendations—all tailored to your unique needs.

Sports Medicine Meets Personalised Care

Along with regenerative treatments, our approach to sports medicine includes custom care plans that may involve:

- Proper shoe and gear recommendations

- Custom orthotics

- Targeted physical therapy and stretching techniques

- On-site X-rays for fast diagnosis

- Medication or injection support when needed

Whether it's heel pain from plantar fasciitis or a stubborn Achilles tendon injury, our focus is always on helping you recover safely and fully.

When Is Surgery Needed?

Most sports injuries can be successfully managed without surgery. However, if after several months of conservative treatment your pain persists, we’ll discuss surgical options with you. Rest assured—Dr. Scott O’Connor, a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon with nearly three decades of experience, will guide you through every step if surgery becomes necessary.

Staying Injury-Free for the Long Run

Recovery is just the beginning. To prevent re-injury and keep you performing at your best, we’ll help you build a long-term care plan. That might include ongoing support with proper footwear, custom orthotics, stretching routines, and periodic check-ins.
