Stress Fracture Management
Stress fractures are small cracks in the bone that develop gradually from repetitive stress and overuse, commonly affecting active individuals, athletes, and those who have recently increased their activity level or training intensity without proper conditioning. At Advanced Foot & Ankle Center, we understand that stress fractures can be particularly frustrating because they often develop insidiously with vague pain that may initially be dismissed as muscle soreness or minor discomfort, leading to continued activity that worsens the condition and delays healing.
Our experienced team utilizes advanced diagnostic imaging including MRI and bone scans when necessary to accurately identify stress fractures that may not be visible on initial X-rays, ensuring prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment before progression to complete fractures. We develop comprehensive treatment plans that emphasize protected weight-bearing or complete rest depending on the location and severity of the fracture, along with immobilization using walking boots, casts, or other devices as needed to promote optimal healing.
Our approach includes identification and correction of contributing factors such as training errors, biomechanical abnormalities, nutritional deficiencies, or hormonal imbalances that may predispose you to stress fractures. We provide structured return-to-activity protocols that gradually reintroduce loading and impact activities while monitoring healing progress, ensuring you can safely return to your desired activity level while minimizing the risk of re-injury or chronic problems.
