General Injuries

Risk factors for stress fractures include overtraining and bone density issues, commonly affecting athletes and military personnel.

Stress fracture symptoms include localized pain, swelling, and possible bruising, intensified during weight-bearing activities.

Stress fracture treatment: rest, gradual return to activity. Prevention involves proper footwear, training adjustments, and addressing risk factors.

Bone spurs form as new bone cells create protrusions. Two types are osteophytes and enthesophytes, terms occasionally used interchangeably.

Tendonitis is inflammation, tendinosis is degeneration, and tendinopathy is a broad term encompassing both conditions in tendon health.
