Stress fractures are small cracks in a bone caused by repetitive force, often due to overuse. Commonly affecting athletes, runners, and people involved in high-impact activities, stress fractures require prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent complications.

As the best orthopedic doctor in Mumbai, Dr. Mayur Rabhadiya at Advanced Joint Care Center specializes in diagnosing and treating such injuries. His expertise ensures patients receive personalized care, helping them return to their daily activities pain-free.


What Are Stress Fractures?

Stress fractures typically occur in weight-bearing bones, such as the shinbone (tibia), foot, and ankle. Unlike acute fractures caused by a single impact, stress fractures develop gradually due to repeated stress on the bone.


Symptoms of Stress Fractures

  • Persistent pain that worsens with activity and eases with rest

  • Swelling and tenderness around the affected area

  • Bruising in some cases

If you experience these symptoms, consulting an experienced orthopedic doctor in Ghatkopar, like Dr. Mayur Rabhadiya, is essential.


Causes of Stress Fractures

  1. Overuse: Excessive running, jumping, or other repetitive movements.

  2. Sudden Increase in Activity: A rapid jump in exercise intensity or duration.

  3. Improper Technique or Equipment: Poor form or inadequate footwear.

  4. Bone Weakness: Conditions like osteoporosis or poor nutrition.


Diagnosis and Treatment

Diagnosing stress fractures involves a physical examination, medical history review, and imaging tests like X-rays, MRI, or CT scans.

Treatment Approaches:

  • Rest: Avoid weight-bearing activities to allow healing.

  • Physical Therapy: To regain strength and mobility.

  • Orthopedic Support: Braces or casts may be recommended.

  • Surgical Intervention: In rare cases where the fracture doesn’t heal naturally, surgery might be needed.

At Advanced Joint Care Center, Dr. Mayur Rabhadiya uses state-of-the-art techniques to manage stress fractures effectively. Whether it’s conservative management or advanced surgical options, you can trust the best orthopedic doctor in Mumbai for optimal care.


Preventing Stress Fractures

  2. Wear proper footwear for your activities.

  3. Include calcium and vitamin D in your diet.
