Posts for tag: New York City Marathon

Now that the training for the New York City Marathon is over, it’s time to get those feet checked! If those dogs are barking it may be a sign that you have an injury that needs to be evaluated and treated by the experienced podiatrists of Midtown Podiatry. That ache in your foot may be a lot worse than you think…

Whether its heel pain, an ankle sprain, blisters, or a fracture - similar to what Ahmad Bradshaw of the New York Giants has previously had surgery for - you need to have those foot aches checked out.

Training for the New York City Marathon can take its toll on your body. The most common injuries following the marathon are to the feet. A common injury that can occur from everyday walking in the streets of Manhattan or training for the NYC marathon is a stress fracture. Stress fractures occur when the stress or pressure on the bone causes a break or fracture of the bone.

Most stress fractures in the foot can be picked up by x-rays which can be performed in our offices at Midtown Podiatry. In very few instances there is a need for an MRI to diagnose the injury. Once diagnosed with a stress fracture the treatment is often conservative with rest, ice and immobilization. In very few instances surgery to correct a fracture is needed to place a screw across the fracture site.

I’ve become very familiar with athletic injuries such as stress fractures having sustained a similar injury when I was a collegiate wrestler. Although my days of wrestling are long gone, I continue to work with athletes and treat their injuries.

For a post race check up of those feet please call the doctors of Midtown Podiatry with convenient locations in Gramercy Park, Wall Street, Union Square, Midtown and Glen Cove.

We are here to get those feet feeling good once again!
