Focus on Stress Fractures at Cumberland Physiotherapy Parramatta

Stress fractures can easily be mistaken for other conditions such as shin splints. As the fracture is often too small to show up on an X-ray, a definitive diagnosis can be made using an MRI or bone scan.

After diagnosis, the most important part of treatment is resting the affected area to allow the bone to heal before resuming activity. Stress fractures usually need at least six weeks to recover fully. Some areas of the body have a poor blood supply, which makes healing more complicated. For example, stress fractures of the navicular bone in the foot may need to be immobilised in a boot or cast for a period of time to heal properly.
