Sports injury treatment for runners and athletes in Rolesville, NC. Ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, stress fractures & return-to-play care. If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. Call us or request an appointment online, and we’ll take a look. Nearly all running and sports injuries can be treated without surgery. Whether you’re training for your first 5K at Joyner Park, coaching a youth soccer team in Wake Forest, or just trying to run a few miles before work without your heel killing you, sports injuries to the foot and ankle are some of the most common (and most fixable) problems we see. Our sports medicine program combines gait analysis, ultrasound imaging, regenerative therapy (PRP), shockwave, and custom orthotics to get you diagnosed quickly and back in motion faster. Sports medicine visits are hands-on and often highly informative. Expect to learn a lot about what’s driving your injury. Plan on 45 to 75 minutes. Wear athletic clothes and bring your main pair of athletic shoes. We don’t just treat the injury. We build a realistic return-to-play timeline, coordinate with your trainer or coach if you want us to, and make sure the injury doesn’t come right back. Sports injuries demand fast, accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan that gets you back in motion safely. Ironworks offers both, plus advanced regenerative therapies that can accelerate healing beyond what traditional care can. New patients are welcome, and most major insurance is accepted. Call us, request an appointment online, or stop by our Rolesville office. We’ll take care of the rest. Foot and Ankle Sports Medicine Services
