Pain or Stiffness at the Back of Your Heel? It Could Be Achilles Tendinopathy

Achilles tendinopathy is a common overuse injury affecting the tendon that connects your calf muscles to your heel. It often develops gradually from repeated strain — especially with running, walking, jumping, or increased activity levels.

Many people notice:
• Pain or stiffness in the Achilles tendon
• Morning stiffness when first walking
• Pain during or after exercise
• Tenderness or swelling at the back of the heel
• Symptoms that “warm up” with movement before returning later.

At Coastal Spine & Neuro Rehab, we take a comprehensive approach to Achilles tendon pain by assessing not just the tendon itself, but also how the foot, ankle, calf, hips, and movement patterns work together.

Care may include:
🦴 Movement and biomechanical assessment
💪 Targeted strengthening and rehabilitation exercises
🤲 Chiropractic care to improve lower limb function
⚖️ Load management and recovery strategies

The goal is to help reduce pain, restore strength, and improve your ability to move confidently again.

If your Achilles pain has been lingering or limiting your activity, early assessment and treatment can make a significant difference.

Heel Pain First Thing in the Morning? It Could Be Plantar Fasciitis

That sharp pain in your heel when you take your first steps out of bed… it’s a classic sign of plantar fasciitis.

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue along the bottom of your foot becomes irritated or inflamed, often due to overuse, strain, or poor foot mechanics.

Common Symptoms Include:
• Sharp or stabbing heel pain
• Pain worse with first steps in the morning
• Stiffness after rest or sitting
• Pain after long periods of standing or walking
• Tenderness along the arch of the foot

What Causes It?
Plantar fasciitis is often linked to:
• Repetitive stress (walking, running, standing)
• Poor footwear or lack of support
• Tight calves or limited ankle movement
• Sudden increase in activity levels

How We Approach It at Coastal Spine & Neuro Rehab

Foot pain is rarely just about the foot — it often involves how the ankle, knee, hips, and spine all work together.

Care may include:
🦴 Foot and lower limb assessment
💪 Targeted rehab and strengthening exercises
🤲 Chiropractic care to improve overall function

The goal is to reduce pain, restore movement, and prevent recurrence — so you can walk, train, and live comfortably again.

If your heel pain is lingering or getting worse, it’s worth getting it properly assessed early — the sooner it’s addressed, the better the outcome.

Hip Pain When Lying on Your Side? It Could Be Hip Bursitis

If you’re experiencing pain on the outside of your hip — especially when lying on it, walking, or climbing stairs , it could be hip bursitis.

Hip bursitis occurs when the small fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion your joints become inflamed, often due to repetitive movement, pressure, or injury.

Common Symptoms Include:
• Pain on the outside of the hip or upper thigh
• Pain when lying on the affected side
• Discomfort when walking, standing, or climbing stairs
• Stiffness or reduced movement
• Tenderness when pressing on the hip

What Causes It?
Hip bursitis is often linked to:
• Repetitive activities (walking, running, standing)
• Poor posture or movement patterns
• Hip or lower back issues
• Direct impact or injury to the hip

How We Approach It at Coastal Spine & Neuro Rehab

Hip pain is rarely just about the hip, it often involves how the spine, pelvis, and surrounding muscles work together.

Care may include:
🦴 Hip and lower back assessment
🧠 Neurological and movement evaluation
💪 Targeted rehabilitation exercises
🤲 Chiropractic care to improve function and reduce strain

The goal is to reduce inflammation, restore movement, and prevent recurrence, so you can move comfortably again.

If your hip pain has been lingering or affecting your sleep or movement, it’s worth getting it properly assessed early.

Elbow Pain When Gripping or Lifting? It Could Be Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow isn’t just for athletes, it’s a common condition caused by repetitive strain on the forearm muscles and tendons. It often shows up in people who use their hands and arms a lot for work, sport, or everyday tasks.

Over time, this strain can lead to small tears in the tendon, causing pain on the outside of the elbow and reduced strength.

Common Symptoms Include:
• Pain on the outside of the elbow
• Weak grip strength
• Pain when lifting, twisting, or gripping
• Difficulty with simple tasks (e.g. holding a cup or opening a jar)

How We Approach It at Coastal Spine & Neuro Rehab

Tennis elbow is rarely just an “elbow issue”, it often involves how the wrist, elbow, shoulder, and nervous system work together.

Care may include:
🦴 Elbow, wrist, and shoulder assessment
⚡ Shockwave Treatment
💪 Targeted rehabilitation exercises
🤲 Chiropractic care to support movement and reduce strain

The goal is to reduce pain, restore strength, and improve function, so you can get back to daily activities without limitation.

If your elbow pain has been lingering or getting worse, it’s worth getting it properly assessed before it becomes more persistent.

Shoulder Pain That Won’t Go Away? It Could Be More Than Just a Strain

If you’re dealing with ongoing shoulder pain, stiffness, or difficulty lifting your arm — it could be shoulder tendonitis or frozen shoulder.

These conditions are often linked to inflammation and irritation of the shoulder structures, which can lead to pain, reduced movement, and long-term stiffness if not addressed early.

Common Symptoms Include:
• Shoulder pain (often worse at night)
• Stiffness and reduced range of motion
• Difficulty reaching overhead or behind your back
• Pain with everyday activities (dressing, lifting, sleeping)

Frozen shoulder, in particular, can progress over time — starting with pain and gradually leading to significant stiffness and restricted movement.

How We Approach It at Coastal Spine & Neuro Rehab

Shoulder conditions are rarely just a “shoulder problem.” They often involve how the neck, shoulder joint, and nervous system work together.

Care may include:
🦴 Shoulder and neck movement assessment
🧠 Neurological and functional evaluation
💪 Targeted rehabilitation exercises
🤲 Chiropractic care to support movement and reduce strain

The goal is to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve function — so you can get back to everyday activities without limitation.

If your shoulder pain has been lingering or getting worse, it’s worth getting it properly assessed before it becomes more restrictive.

Vertigo When You Move Your Head? It Could Be BPPV

If you’ve ever felt a sudden spinning sensation when rolling in bed, looking up, or bending down — it could be BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo).

BPPV is one of the most common causes of vertigo and occurs when tiny crystals in the inner ear become dislodged and move into the wrong part of the balance system. This disrupts how your brain senses movement — leading to brief but intense dizziness.

Common Symptoms of BPPV:
• Spinning sensation (vertigo) with head movement
• Dizziness when lying down or turning in bed
• Brief episodes lasting seconds to minutes
• Nausea or unsteadiness
• Triggered by specific positions

How We Approach BPPV at Coastal Spine & Neuro Rehab

The good news — BPPV is often highly treatable when properly diagnosed.

Care may include:
✨ Specific positional testing to identify the affected canal
✨ Gentle repositioning techniques (to guide crystals back where they belong)
✨ Balance and vestibular rehabilitation if needed
✨ Ongoing support to reduce recurrence

With the right approach, many patients experience rapid improvement and relief.

If you’re experiencing vertigo triggered by movement, don’t ignore it — it’s something that can often be resolved quickly with the right care.

Dizziness Could Be Coming From Your Neck

If you’re feeling dizzy, off-balance, or “not quite right”… it might not be your inner ear.

In many cases, dizziness can be linked to the neck — a condition known as cervicogenic dizziness.

Your neck plays a critical role in balance. It constantly sends signals to your brain about head position and movement. When the neck isn’t functioning properly — due to stiffness, injury, or poor posture — these signals can become disrupted, leading to dizziness.

Common Symptoms Include:
• Light-headed or “floating” sensation
• Unsteadiness or poor balance
• Dizziness with head movement
• Neck pain or stiffness
• Headaches (often from the base of the skull)

How We Approach It at Coastal Spine & Neuro Rehab

Dizziness isn’t always straightforward — which is why we take a comprehensive, neurological approach.

Care may include:
🧠 Neurological and balance assessment
🦴 Neck function and movement evaluation
👁 Visual and vestibular testing
⚖️ Targeted rehabilitation exercises
🤲 Chiropractic care

The goal is to improve how your neck, brain, and balance systems work together — helping reduce symptoms and restore confidence in movement.

If you’ve been dealing with ongoing dizziness and haven’t found answers yet, it may be worth looking beyond the inner ear.

Migraines Are More Than Just a Headache

Migraine is a complex neurological condition that can significantly impact daily life. It’s typically characterised by moderate to severe headaches, often accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, and sensitivity to light, sound, or smell.

For many people, migraines feel like a throbbing or pulsating pain, often on one side of the head, though it can also affect both sides or the forehead and eyes.

Common migraine symptoms can include:
• Severe or throbbing head pain
• Nausea or vomiting
• Sensitivity to light and sound
• Visual disturbances
• Dizziness

At Coastal Spine & Neuro Rehab, migraines are approached from a multimodal perspective. While there is no single cure for migraines, targeted care may help reduce the frequency, severity, and duration of attacks and improve overall quality of life.

This may include a combination of:
🧠 Neurological rehabilitation exercises
⚖️ Balance and vestibular assessment
🦴 Neck movement retraining
🏥 Chiropractic care

If migraines are interfering with your work, sleep, or everyday activities, it may be worth exploring a comprehensive assessment.

Feeling Dizzy or Off Balance? It Might Not Be What You Think.

Dizziness isn’t always caused by the inner ear. In many cases, it can be linked to issues with the neck, balance system, or how the brain processes movement and position.

Your body relies on three key systems working together to maintain balance:
👁 Vision – what your eyes see
👂 Inner ear (vestibular system) – your balance sensors
🦴 Proprioception – signals from muscles and joints, especially in the neck

When these signals don’t match up, it can lead to symptoms like:
• Light-headedness
• A floating or unsteady feeling
• Balance problems
• Neck stiffness or headaches

At Coastal Spine & Neuro Rehab, assessments focus on how these systems interact. Advanced testing may evaluate vision, inner ear function, and neck proprioception to determine where dizziness may be coming from.

With the right diagnosis and targeted care, many dizziness conditions can be improved through a combination of neck treatment, balance rehabilitation, and neurological exercises.

If dizziness is affecting your daily life, it’s worth investigating the underlying cause.

🧠 Understanding Concussion & Why It Matters
A concussion is more than just a bump on the head — it’s a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) that can affect how your brain works. It can result from falls, car accidents, sporting knocks, or any forceful impact that makes the brain shift inside the skull. Symptoms can be physical, cognitive, or emotional — ranging from headaches and dizziness to memory issues, light/sound sensitivity, and trouble concentrating.

🌀 Often, there’s also an associated neck injury or whiplash, which can amplify symptoms and slow recovery.

👐 How Chiropractic Care Can Support Your Recovery
At Coastal Spine & Neuro Rehab, we combine chiropractic care with advanced neuro-rehabilitation to help support your healing journey.

Here’s how we help:
✨ Assess what’s really going on — detailed evaluation of your neck, nervous system, and balance.
✨ Improve neck function — gentle adjustments and soft tissue work to reduce tension and help headaches, stiffness, and dizziness.
✨ Vestibular & balance support — targeted exercises to retrain balance and visual-motor coordination.
✨ Neuroflex technology to safely assess and understand how concussion affects your vestibular tracking and eye movement.
✨ Supporting longer-term recovery — helping you step safely back into daily life, sport, work and school.

Chiropractic care plays a valuable role in a comprehensive recovery plan.

🔎 Symptoms to watch for
👉 Headaches
👉 Dizziness or balance issues
👉 Brain fog or concentration trouble
👉 Light & sound sensitivity
👉 Neck pain or stiffness
