SPORTS LAB Integrated Spine & Sports Therapies

Why Choose Sports Lab Podiatry Services?

Your Sports Lab Podiatrists use only tested research and methods to treat and manage your foot and ankle issues. 

Our difference from other clinics is that we here at Sports Lab can assure you that our assessments are comprehensive. Also, we can assure you that the products we recommend will last longer.

Your Sports Lab Podiatrists can treat all kinds of injuries, especially sports-related ones, that are directly attributed to the feet or lower limbs. This is because they are the weight-bearing structures of your body which are most vulnerable under stress or constant impact.

The most common injuries that we treat include:

• Patellofemoral syndrome (knee cap pain)
• Plantar fasciitis (acute heel/arch pain)
• Plantar fasciosis (chronic long-term heel spur pain)
• Shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome)
• Achilles tenderness
• Ankle pain (sprained ankles)
• Metatarsalgia/sesamoidiits (forefoot pain)
• Ankle sprains
• Biomechanical alignment
• Mechanical efficiency
• Orthotic gait assistance

You can expect that we will determine the potential cause and formulate a management plan for the best possible results through comprehensive biomechanical and gait or treadmill assessments.

Radial Shock Wave Therapy

Sports Lab is unique in that we are one of only a few clinics who are capable of providing radial shock wave therapy as part of our management of chronic tendinopathies. We provide this at our Drummoyne clinic in Sydney’s Inner West.

Radial shock wave therapy applies high-energy acoustic pulse transmissions into tissues of the affected areas of your body. Metabolic activity around the affected areas increases with every treatment and stimulates your body’s natural healing process to reduce pain. 

Your Sports Lab can help treat and manage:

• Patellofemoral syndrome (knee cap pain)
• Plantar fasciitis (acute heel/arch pain)
• Plantar fasciosis (chronic long term heel spur pain)
• Shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome)
• Achilles tendonosis
• Ankle pain (sprained ankles)
