Exceptional Fracture in Utah
Bones throughout the body bear significant stress and pressure during daily activities, making them susceptible to fractures from accidents, overuse, or traumatic events such as car accidents or sports injuries. Bone fractures can range from severe breaks to hairline fractures, sprains, and strains. Regardless of the severity, fractures are painful and require proper treatment. Leaving an injury untreated can lead to complications such as arthritis, improper healing, or nerve damage.
Common Fractures and Related Injuries
Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast, a regular gym-goer, or more of a homebody, many injuries occur when there is a sudden change in activity level. Increasing the duration, intensity, or frequency of activity can strain the body and lead to injury. For example, your body needs time to adjust to new workout routines or increased movement, such as long walks during a vacation. Sudden changes in activity can result in common injuries, including strains, sprains, and overuse injuries.
Our Treatment Approach to Injuries & Fractures
Treatment for fractures in the body depends on the severity and location of the injury. Severe fractures may require surgery to ensure proper healing, and in some cases, screws or plates may be used to stabilize the bone. Less severe fractures or sprains may be treated with immobilization, such as a brace or cast, to support the healing process.
