Volleyball Foot & Ankle Injuries

Volleyball requires explosive jumping, quick direction changes, and long hours on hard courts, all of which put serious stress on the feet and ankles. At Performance Podiatry, we help athletes across Powell, Dublin, and the greater Columbus area recover from common volleyball injuries and prevent future problems. Led by Dr. Zach Thomas, known nationally as Foot Doctor Zach on YouTube, our clinic combines advanced sports podiatry care with expert insight into footwear, biomechanics, and performance. Whether you’re playing for your high school, club, or in a recreational league, we’ll keep you moving strong on the court.

Common Volleyball Injuries We Treat

• Ankle Sprains – frequent in volleyball due to blocking, landing, and collisions at the net.

• Achilles Tendinitis – soreness or stiffness from repetitive jumping.

• Plantar Fasciitis (Heel Pain) – aggravated by constant jumping and hard landings.

• Stress Fractures – overuse injuries in the foot or shin from high training volume.

• Turf Toe / Big Toe Sprains – from quick push-offs and dives.

• Toenail Injuries (“Volleyball Toe”) – bruised or damaged nails from repeated impact in shoes.

We frequently see volleyball athletes from schools and clubs in Powell, Dublin, and Columbus, where long seasons and high training intensity increase the risk of injury.

Why Volleyball Causes Foot & Ankle Problems

• Jumping & hard landings – repeated stress on heels, arches, and tendons.

• Lateral movement – quick side-to-side motions strain ligaments.

• Court surfaces – hardwood and sport court flooring amplify impact.

• Improper footwear – playing in running shoes instead of volleyball shoes increases injury risk.
