In this stress fracture chiropractic CE course, Michael Hall, DC, FIACN reviews how chiropractors can think through onset, trauma versus overuse patterns, common stress fracture locations, posture, fracture physiology, muscular considerations, and management decisions.
The course emphasizes clinic-ready reasoning for chiropractors who evaluate active patients, runners, students, workers, and older adults with persistent focal pain — connecting examination findings, differential diagnosis, and imaging awareness (current guidance notes stress fractures should be considered when focal tenderness or edema follows increased or repeated activity with limited rest, and identifies MRI as the most sensitive and specific test for suspected lower-extremity stress fractures) to conservative management principles and the graded return-to-activity conversations that keep patients from re-breaking what just healed.

Often yes — and that is exactly what makes stress fractures deceptive. Because they develop from repeated loading rather than one dramatic injury, patients frequently keep walking, running, or working on persistent focal pain, which delays recognition and worsens the injury. Orthopedics 225 teaches the history, examination, and imaging reasoning that catches these presentations, and the graded return-to-activity thinking that protects patients from recurrence.
