+  Achilles tendinosis
Microtears that occur along the Achilles tendon due to overuse and insufficient stretching of the calves. Symptoms are usually inflammation and pain noticed at heel lift during gait.

-  Treatment
•  Custom made orthotics with focus on materials with high cushion properties to accommodate the spur

-  Treatment
•  Custom made orthotics with focus on solid arch support for plantar fascia
•  Active stretching and strengthening of the plantar fascia

-  Treatment
•  Custom made orthotics with heel lift to reduce the stretch on the tendon
•  Active stretching of the tendon to alleviate tightness

+  Runner's Knee

+ Ankle Sprain
The most common injury in sports is the ankle sprain. The anterior tibiofibular ligament is usually the ligament that's affected from an "ankle roll". Severe swelling and inability to bear weight are common symptoms

-  Treatment (post-op, if necessary)

Blood clot in a deep vein, which sometimes can be life threatening depending on the location of it. Symptoms are similar to varicose and spider veins.

+  Edema
Basically a general response of the body to injury or inflammation, which is swelling. Symptoms are the feelings of heaviness in the legs and may interfere with gait.
