Stress fractures often occur as a result of overuse, and they frequently affect the feet. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons suggests these precautions to help reduce the risk of stress fractures: • Eat a healthy diet rich in vitamin D and calcium. • Always wear appropriate athletic equipment, such as supportive running shoes. • Alternate activities to ease strain on the bones, such as switching between swimming and cycling. • Start slow when it comes to new activities, gradually increasing intensity and duration. • Practice strength training for strong muscles and bones. • Rest any time you have swelling or feel pain.
