Struggling with Heel Pain in the Morning? It Could Be a Spur—But There’s Hope!

Heel spurs don’t just show up overnight—but that sharp pain with your first step out of bed is a sign something deeper is going on.

🔎 The real issue isn’t the spur itself—it’s the tight, inflamed tissue around it, often caused by poor posture, stiff calves, or foot misalignment.

At Advance Core Physical Therapy, we use:
✅ Dry Needling
✅ Gentle Mobilization
✅ Tecar Therapy
✅ Targeted Stretches

…and more to treat the root cause and get you moving pain-free again.

💥 Shockwave therapy can help—but we believe in a personalized, less painful approach when possible.

📍Start healing the right way—your feet will thank you!

As your pregnancy progresses, even simple movements like turning in bed can become challenging.

Chest breathing or diaphragmatic breathing—which feels better for you? How does your breath connect to your core and pelvic floor? Why is the best method always the one that feels right?

Feel strong. Feel supported.

Feel like your belly won’t flatten no matter what? Dealing with bloating, pelvic pressure, posture struggles, or even voice tension?
These issues are all connected—and often overlooked.

Wearing binders? Doing all the “right” exercises but not seeing results?
The truth is—it depends on your body, your strategies, and how you compensate.

No two bodies move or heal the same. That’s why a personalized assessment matters. We help you understand why things feel stuck—and what actually works for you.

I recently encountered a woman working in the bakery department at a local store. I noticed she was limping noticeably, and as a physical therapist, I couldn’t help but ask about it. She explained that her knee was bothering her, but she was relying on going to the gym to work on it. I suggested physical therapy might help, but she dismissed it, saying the gym was enough.

A month later, I saw her again—still limping, and this time, it looked even worse. I couldn’t help but feel concerned. It’s possible she had tried something in the past that didn’t work, which made her hesitant to try therapy. But here’s the thing: therapy isn’t just about quick fixes. It’s about learning to listen to your body, understanding what it needs, and being invested in your own healing process.

The gym isn’t always the right answer, especially when pain is involved. It’s important to address the underlying cause of the pain and approach it with a tailored plan. Therapy can offer real, lasting relief by teaching you how to move and heal correctly, without relying on medications or hoping that something will magically work.

I want to be clear: I wasn’t trying to change her into a patient—she wasn’t close to my practice, and that’s okay. But I couldn’t help but offer a suggestion, knowing that the right professional care could make a huge difference in her healing journey.

If you’re in pain and the gym or medication hasn’t helped, don’t settle. It’s time to invest in your body and find the right care that can lead to real healing. Pain doesn’t have to be a constant. Take control and get the help you deserve.

Don't ignore your pain.

Struggling with back pain, stiffness, and pelvic incontinence?

Many people assume that radiating back pain and difficulty moving are caused by a herniated disc or the most common diagnosis: sciatica. However, other structures in the lower back and pelvis can mimic these symptoms.

Lifting heavy objects or making a sudden, brisk movement can affect the spine's facet joints, ligaments, and fascia, while also increasing pressure in the abdomen and bladder. This can lead to digestive issues, constipation, or urinary incontinence, contributing to pain and discomfort.

At Advance Core Physical Therapy, we focus on strengthening the core, restoring pelvic function, and using regenerative technology, including TEAR therapy, to support long-term tissue healing and functional recovery. By improving posture, correcting muscle imbalances, and enhancing tissue repair, we help you move better and feel stronger.

If you’re dealing with these issues, contact us today to learn how we can help you regain control and long-term relief!
