Stress Fractures

What is a stress fracture?

A stress fracture is a microscopic fracture of the bone - so small that it often can’t be picked up on an x-ray. If left untreated, it can develop into a full fracture.

Most stress fractures occur in the hips, shins or feet, which experience most of the force when weight bearing. They are a common overuse injury, particularly in long-distance runners.

What are the symptoms?

- Pain during or after an activity, such as running
- Eventual inability to maintain usual activity level due to pain
- More likely in someone with weaker bones, vitamin D deficiency, or a history of inactivity.

What is the treatment?

Resting the affected area is a necessity to allow the bone to heal. This usually involves stopping or greatly reducing the activity for roughly six weeks to allow the bone to fully recover.

Also, strengthening the surrounding muscles and correcting poor biomechanics is essential for treating stress fractures, as weak muscles and poor movement patterns can provide inadequate support to the skeletal system.

If you experience pain at the front of your ankle during or after movement or exercise, then this post is for you!

Anterior ankle impingement (AAI) is a musculoskeletal condition where the tissue at the front of the ankle is compressed and damaged by repetitive forces.

Who is affected?
Most often, athletes involved in repetitive or forceful upward ankle movements such as in sprinting, landing and hilly running experience AAI. However, it is a common injury that affects people of any age.

How does physiotherapy help?
The severity of the AAI will determine the treatment and prognosis. Resting from aggravating activities is almost always involved. A physiotherapist will also advise about exercises to complete to increase strength and flexibility of the ankle joint, as well as providing mobilisation techniques to increase range of motion.

If you would like to learn more or chat with our team, get in touch or book an appointment today.

Four Surprising Causes of Neck Pain

Some parts of your daily routine may be contributing to your neck pain without you realising. Here are a few that may be worth considering.

1. Your sleeping position:
Factors such as pillow height and firmness, or sleeping on your stomach, may have a negative impact on your neck and upper back joints. It’s important to try to maintain the spine’s natural curves whilst sleeping.

2. Your daily commute:
Correctly setting up your car’s mirrors, steering wheel, and seat can reduce strain on your neck, especially if you are driving more than 30 minutes everyday.

3. Your downtime:
It’s good to relax by watching some TV at the end of the day. However, it’s important to consider your position during this time. Placing your laptop or TV screen at eye-level where your neck is in a neutral position can help reduce strain on the upper neck structures.

4. Your exercise routine:
Neck pain can be caused by any activity requiring sustained positions or repetitive movements of the neck. For example, cyclists are often stuck in neck extension while looking ahead.
