The 'Pump Bump": A Closer Look at Haglund's Deformity

Ever noticed a persistent, painful bump at the back of a patient's heel? It could be Haglund's Deformity also known as "pump bump" or "winter heel. This condition involves a bony enlargement that irritates the Achilles tendon insertion and surrounding soft tissues, especially the deep retrocalcaneal bursa and the Achilles tendon itself.

Often seen in:
*Women aged 15-35 who wear rigid-backed shoes
* Runners
* Individuals with high arches or tight Achilles tendons
* Those with a genetic predisposition (hereditary bony structure)

What's really going on? This bony prominence at the posterior calcaneus creates friction between the shoe and soft tissues-leading to retrocalcaneal bursitis, Achilles tendon irritation, and chronic heel pain.

Key signs to look for:
* Noticeable heel bump
* Redness, swelling
* Pain during walking or after rest
* Limited ankle mobility
Understanding the mechanical and anatomical drivers of Haglund's Deformity is crucial for proper, long-term management.

Conservative care:
* Rest & Ice
* Eccentric heel drop programs
*Achilles stretching
* Appropriate footwear (e.g., heel lifts, soft-backed footwear)
*Anti-inflammatory drugs (as prescribed)

Ideal Sitting Posture: Protect Your Spine, One Seat at a Time!

Poor posture while sitting can lead to chronic back pain, neck stiffness, and reduced productivity. Here's how to sit smart and safe:

Feet Flat on the Floor - Avoid crossing your legs. Keep knees at hip level or slightly lower.

Back Straight & Supported - Use a chair with lumbar support or place a cushion to maintain the natural curve of your spine.

Shoulders Relaxed - Not slouched or elevated. Keep them aligned over your hips.

Elbows at 90 Degrees - Rest them close to your body while typing or using a mouse.

Head Neutral - Keep your chin tucked slightly, eyes level with the top third of your screen.

Frequent Breaks - Stand, stretch, and walk every 30-45 minutes to avoid stiffness and fatigue.

Remember: Good posture isn't a luxury - it's a necessity. Start today to prevent tomorrow's pain

Knee traumatic injury
Spot it with radiological features

Spot it.

Had a case recently where the client complained of shoulder pain. He had trouble with overhead motion and external rotation. After a bit of assessment, I found that the clavicle was totally stuck. That led me to an inhibited pectoralis major. Searching for a source for the inhibition, I ultimately found an adhesion between the brachioradialis and brachialis. Releasing it freed the clavicle and normalized the shoulder motion. Would I have guessed that the elbow would be responsible for this guy's shoulder pain? It wouldn't have been my first guess. But again, that's why I don't guess, I assess.
Always do physical examination assessments
