Assessment and treatment of foot and ankle injuries

Calcaneus (heel bone) stress fracture

Sporting injuries of the foot and ankle are quite vast, with some of these associated with a particular sport such as turf toe with football and os trigonum syndrome with ballet. Many sports injuries of the foot are overuse injuries and will improve with altered training or shoe wear. For acute injuries or ongoing pain that interferes with sporting activities, evaluation in the office is key to getting you back to activities as quickly as possible. We work closely with certified athletic trainers and some of the top physical therapists in the greater Portland area, including therapists who are facile with rehabilitation of athletes in specific sports.

Dr. Feinblatt has a strong background in understanding sports injury as a part of the larger picture in the training athlete. His college degree was in Exercise and Sport Science (Kinesiology). Through five years of Orthopedic surgery residency with a strong emphasis on Foot and Ankle pathology, and a combined Sports Medicine / Foot and Ankle reconstruction Fellowship, Dr. Feinblatt worked with The Ohio State Buckeyes, as well as the Phoenix Suns, the Phoenix Coyotes, and The Oakland A's during Spring Training.
