Stress Fractures Treatment in Sharjah

Expert Orthopedic Diagnosis & Advanced Physiotherapy Rehabilitation at Al Resalah Specialty Clinic

Stress fractures are small cracks in bones caused by repetitive force or overuse, common among runners, athletes, and active individuals. At Al Resalah Specialty Clinic in Sharjah, we offer comprehensive treatment plans that combine expert orthopedic care and advanced physiotherapy to heal stress fractures and prevent future injuries.

🦴 What Are Stress Fractures?

Stress fractures are tiny breaks in bones that occur over time due to repeated loading or overtraining, rather than a sudden injury. They are most commonly seen in the feet, shins, hips, and lower back.

🚨 Common Causes of Stress Fractures

  • High-impact sports (running, jumping)

  • Sudden increase in physical activity

  • Poor footwear or hard surfaces

  • Low bone density (osteopenia, osteoporosis)

  • Improper biomechanics or posture

  • Vitamin D or calcium deficiency

🔍 Signs & Symptoms of a Stress Fracture

  • Localized pain that worsens with activity

  • Swelling and tenderness around the site

  • Pain that improves with rest but returns with movement

  • Limping or altered gait

  • In some cases, visible bruising or redness

📌 Areas Commonly Affected

  • Tibia (shin bone)

  • Metatarsals (foot bones)

  • Femur (thigh bone)

  • Pelvis or Hip

  • Lower back (vertebrae in athletes)

🩺 Stress Fracture Treatment in Sharjah

At Al Resalah Specialty Clinic, our treatment goal is to relieve pain, promote healing, and restore mobility without compromising long-term bone health. Early diagnosis is key to avoiding complications like complete fractures or chronic bone pain.

✅ Step 1: Orthopedic Assessment & Imaging

Our orthopedic specialists perform:

  • Detailed clinical examination

  • X-ray or MRI (if required)

  • Gait and posture analysis

  • Nutritional and bone health evaluation

  • Customized treatment planning

✅ Step 2: Conservative Management

  • Rest and Activity Modification – Temporary restriction of sports or high-impact activity

  • Supportive Devices – Bracing, walking boots, or crutches to reduce load

  • Pain Management – Medication, cold therapy

  • Nutritional Guidance – Vitamin D & calcium intake advice

  • Correction of Biomechanical Issues – Flat feet, overpronation, or alignment issues

✅ Step 3: Targeted Physiotherapy for Rehabilitation

Once acute pain settles, physiotherapy is crucial for recovery, muscle balance, and preventing re-injury.
