Stress Fractures

Stress fractures are tiny cracks in the bone caused by repetitive stress and overuse, rather than a single traumatic injury. they commonly occur in weight-bearing bones of the foot and lower leg, particularly in runners, athletes, and those who engage in high-impact activities. contributing factors include sudden increases in training intensity, improper footwear, biomechanical imbalances, and insufficient recovery time.

Symptoms often start as a dull ache that worsens with activity and improves with rest. If left untreated, stress fractures can develop into more severe injuries, leading to prolonged recovery times and an increased risk of further complications.

At The Foot Room, we assess stress fractures through our biomechanical pathway, using advanced gait analysis to identify any underlying issues contributing to excessive bone stress. Treatment may include activity modification, offloading techniques, footwear adjustments, custom orthotics, and strength-building exercises to support healing and prevent future fractures. If necessary, we can refer for further imaging to confirm the diagnosis and guide the best course of treatment. Our goal is to help you recover fully and return to activity safely.
