Stress Fractures: What Are They, How Do I Prevent Them, and What Can I Expect If I Develop One?

Run Painless

In this episode I cover stress fractures. If you have ever dealt with one, you know the pain and frustration. Unfortunately there are myths surrounding how stress fractures are caused and it is always good to dispel those myths. For one running surface has nothing to do with the likelihood of developing a stress fracture. Also pronation vs. supination of the foot has nothing to with likelihood of developing a stress fracture either. What to expect; 6-8 weeks of recovery (pool, Alter-G treadmill, bike) Cost:$150-$3500 depending on insurance vs no insurance and if you shop around or not if you get an MRI.
