How Do You Treat a Stress Fracture?

In most cases, a stress fracture will heal with time and rest as long as the patient isn't putting pressure or weight on the affected area.

Your healthcare practitioner may recommend that you wear a walking boot, brace, or crutches to safeguard the fracture site and take the unnecessary weight off the area.

Surgery, while less common, may also be recommended in certain cases. This may be an option if the affected area has a poor blood supply, or for those who want to expedite their rate of healing.

Schedule an appointment with Dr. Daniel Drapacz today to discuss your symptoms and get you on the path to recovery.
