Stress Fracture Treatment in Atlanta
Recover the right way. Protect your bone health. Get back to running safely.
Are You Dealing with a Stress Fracture?
Stress fractures are one of the most feared running injuries but with the right plan, you can recover fully and return to running stronger than ever. You may have a stress fracture if you’re experiencing:
Localized pain in your shin, foot or hip that gets worse with impact
Pain that improves with rest but returns quickly when you try to run
Swelling, tenderness or pinpoint pain in one spot
Pain that worsens over days or weeks with increasing mileage
At Tempo Physical Therapy & Performance, we help runners like you recover safely and avoid setbacks by giving you a clear plan on your road back to running.
Why Runners in Atlanta Choose Tempo Physical Therapy & Performance
Recovering from a stress fracture isn’t just about taking time off. It’s a systematic rebuilding your body’s ability to handle training load. Working with a running specialized physical therapist is a non-negotiable for runners dealing with a stress fracture.
Comprehensive Assessment — We try to identify what contributed to the fracture (training load, mechanics, strength deficits) but we also want to look at the runner as a whole which includes sleep, nutrition, etc.
Safe Cross-Training Guidance — We help you stay fit with low-impact training while you heal.
Bone-Loading Program — Gradual, evidence-based progression to restore bone strength.
Return-to-Run Planning — Structured plan to reintroduce impact safely and avoid re-injury.
“I felt completely lost after being told I had a stress fracture. I would’ve definitely rushed back into running if I hadn’t found Tempo PT. They gave me a plan, kept me moving and guided me safely back to running.”
— Rebecca, Marathoner
What Causes Stress Fractures in Runners?
Stress fractures typically develop from repetitive overload without enough recovery time but there are often underlying risk factors:
Sudden increase in mileage or intensity
Insufficient strength (especially hips, calves, feet)
Low energy availability or poor nutrition
Hormonal changes or menstrual irregularities (for female runners)
Poor footwear or hard running surfaces
Biomechanical issues that overload a specific bone
The biggest risk factor for this injury is a previous stress fracture. Our goal is to uncover the root cause so we can prevent this from happening again.
Don’t Make a Mistake & Mismanage Your Stress Fracture
