Direct Access to Oxford Physical Therapy
Clinical Corner Article June 2024
Matt and Allie are back with the Clinical Corner for June. You'll learn about a case involving a patient who jumped back into running long distance to train for a half marathon and suffered sharp pain in her ankle and was no longer able to put weight on her foot. Even after seeing an MD, being prescribed pain medications, getting an X-ray, and testing negative for any further injuries, this patient was still in pain. She decided to see a physical therapist to get evaluated. She was referred to get an MRI, which uncovered a stress fracture in her ankle. After living in a cast for a couple weeks, she continued her PT sessions and was able to complete her half marathon in no pain 8 months later!
