A broken bone in the foot can be painful, disruptive, and limit your ability to stay active. Because the foot contains 26 bones that all work together to support movement, even a small fracture can impact daily life. The good news is that with proper treatment, most foot fractures heal well — and today’s advanced care options, including regenerative medicine, can help speed recovery and reduce long-term complications. Our practice specializes in both conservative and advanced treatments to get patients back on their feet safely and as quickly as possible.
No. Many foot fractures can be treated with immobilization, rest, and conservative care. Surgery is usually only required when bones are displaced or unstable.
Most foot fractures take 6–8 weeks to heal, though stress fractures may heal sooner. Recovery time depends on the type and severity of the fracture.
Regenerative therapies help stimulate the body’s natural repair processes, reduce inflammation, and may shorten recovery times, especially for stress fractures or fractures that are slow to heal.
Walking on a fractured foot can worsen the injury. Depending on the type of fracture, you may need a cast, boot, or crutches to avoid further damage.
Both injuries cause pain and swelling, but a fracture often results in sharp pain, bruising, and difficulty bearing weight. An X-ray is the best way to confirm the diagnosis.
If you experience sudden pain, swelling, bruising, or cannot put weight on your foot, you should see a specialist immediately. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical for proper healing.
