Stress fracture in the foot - Ottawa Foot Clinic
The Ottawa Foot Clinic offers specialized treatment for stress fractures in the foot, a common injury primarily affecting athletes. Unlike typical fractures, stress fractures develop gradually due to repeated stress on the bone. Our clinic is equipped to diagnose and manage this condition effectively, ensuring patients receive the appropriate care tailored to their needs.
Our podiatrists utilize advanced diagnostic tools, such as digital X-rays and ultrasound, to confirm the presence of a stress fracture. Once diagnosed, we implement a comprehensive treatment plan that may include therapeutic taping, laser therapy, and custom foot orthoses. Our goal is to alleviate pain and promote healing while minimizing the risk of recurrence.
Recovery from a stress fracture can vary, but our team emphasizes the importance of rest and gradual return to activities. We provide guidance on preventative measures to help patients avoid future injuries, ensuring a holistic approach to foot health. Our commitment to thorough follow-up care supports patients throughout their recovery journey.
The Ottawa Foot Clinic is led by Antoun Hajj, a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine, and a dedicated team of chiropodists, including Élie Bélanger and Rachel Ollerton. Each member brings specialized knowledge and experience in podiatric care, ensuring that patients receive the highest standard of treatment for their foot health needs.
