A stress fracture foot can be quite painful. Being unable to walk or experiencing pain with each step is a major disruption to everyday life.

The simplest and most effective way to recover from a stress fracture foot is to tape it. This self-care treatment has lasting results.

In this post, we’ll be exploring stress fracture feet and why taping is the best treatment.

But first, what is a stress fracture foot?

What is a stress fracture foot?

Stress fractures are tiny cracks in weight-bearing bones, specifically your feet.

They are nearly always preventable. However, once you have a stress fracture, it acts as an exponential injury. This means that it gets steadily worse as the cracks widen.

At first, the pain might be minimal, and you only feel it during and directly after exercise. However, this pain can quickly grow until you can barely walk.

It's important to seek out treatment because stress fractures can become chronic injuries requiring surgery.
