#159 When a fracture boot is necessary for a stress fracture in a runner
22 Mar 2019
It's no big secret that I really don't like fracture walking boots for runners. I think doctors over-prescribe them. When you use fracture walking boots for too long, it causes weakness, stiffness, decreased bone density, loss of neuromuscular connections, and a whole bunch of unnecessary increased risks where you getting another different overtraining injury when you're actually back to running and full training. Today on the Doc On the Run Podcast, we're talking about the 3 times you really might need a fracture walking boot if you’re a runner with a metatarsal stress fracture.
