Stress fractures are small cracks in the bone caused by repetitive stress or overuse. They are common in active individuals, runners, and those who have recently increased their activity levels.
At The Foot Clinics, we provide expert diagnosis and management of stress fractures across Albury, Wodonga and Wagga Wagga. Our focus is on early detection, reducing load, and guiding a safe return to activity.
A stress fracture is a small crack in the bone that develops over time due to repeated loading. Unlike a sudden fracture, stress fractures occur gradually when the bone is unable to keep up with the demands placed on it.
Symptoms often begin as a mild ache and progress to more localised pain that worsens with activity and improves with rest.

Stress fractures are typically caused by repetitive impact or a sudden increase in activity levels. Running, jumping, and prolonged weight-bearing can all contribute to excessive load on the bone.
Other contributing factors include poor footwear, biomechanics, reduced bone strength, and insufficient recovery between activities.

Stress fractures usually present as localised pain that worsens with activity and improves with rest. The area may also feel tender or sore when pressure is applied.
They are caused by repetitive stress on the bone, often from running, jumping, or increased activity levels without adequate recovery.
Treatment focuses on reducing load and allowing the bone to heal. This may include rest, activity modification, footwear changes, and gradual return to activity.
Recovery time varies but typically takes several weeks depending on the severity and location of the fracture.
If you suspect a stress fracture or have persistent pain that worsens with activity, it is important to seek early assessment and management.
