Stress Fractures

Stress Fractures can affect comfort, stability, and daily movement after injury or repeated stress. Dr. Neville can evaluate the area and discuss a thoughtful path back to the activities you enjoy.


Treatment Options


Treatment usually focuses on reducing impact and protecting the bone with activity modification, stiff-soled footwear, a walking boot, or temporary non-weight-bearing when needed.


Return to Activity


A gradual return is important after symptoms improve and healing is demonstrated, especially when training errors or biomechanical factors contributed to the injury.


When to Seek Care


Evaluation is recommended for localized bone pain that worsens with activity, persists at rest, or develops without a single major injury.


Schedule an appointment with Dr. Neville for evaluation of a possible stress fracture.
