Fracture Injuries

Fracture Injuries occur when a bone breaks or cracks as a result of trauma, excessive force, or underlying medical conditions that weaken the bone structure. These injuries can range from minor stress fractures to severe breaks involving multiple bone fragments. Prompt assessment and proper care are essential to ensure correct healing and prevent complications such as infection, poor alignment, or long-term mobility issues.

There are several types of Fracture Injuries, each with different levels of severity and symptoms:

• Closed Fracture: The bone breaks but does not pierce the skin.
• Open (Compound) Fracture: The broken bone penetrates through the skin, increasing infection risk.
• Stress Fracture: A fine, hairline crack caused by repetitive strain or overuse, common in athletes.
• Comminuted Fracture: The bone shatters into several fragments due to high-impact trauma.
• Greenstick Fracture: A partial fracture, often seen in children, where the bone bends but does not completely break.

Fracture Injuries can occur for many reasons — including sports accidents, falls, road traffic collisions, or direct blows. They can also develop due to underlying conditions like osteoporosis, which weakens bone density and increases the risk of breaks.

At The Pain & Injury Clinic Mullingar, we specialise in recovery and rehabilitation for Fracture Injuries using Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) therapy. This advanced, non-invasive treatment encourages faster tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and relieves pain at a cellular level. Our goal is to restore movement, promote natural healing, and help patients return to full function safely and confidently.
