Lateral Foot Pain

Here’s a fun anatomy fact: the abductor digiti minimi (the small muscle on the outer side of your foot that moves your pinky toe) actually has a fascial connection to the peroneus longus tendon. This is something I learned in Active Release Techniques Level 2 Courses!

That means when the peroneus longus, the muscle that runs along the outside of your leg and helps stabilize your arch and helps you push off, gets tight or irritated, it can pull on structures all the way down into the foot. Over time, that tension can lead to lateral foot pain, pinky toe irritation, or even contribute to overpronation and ankle instability.

What you might notice:
Pain or tightness along the outside of the foot or ankle
Irritation when pushing off during walking or running
Tenderness when rolling the outside of the calf or foot

Things that can help:
Wearing shoes with good lateral support
Rolling or releasing the outer calf and bottom of the foot
Strengthening the peroneals and intrinsic foot muscles
Getting soft tissue work to free up those fascial connections

In the clinic, we assess the entire chain and use Active Release Techniques (especially the Level 2 protocols) and adjustments to restore balance and take pressure off the structures. Sometimes it’s not just one muscle; it’s how they’re all connected.

Piriformis & the Sciatic Nerve

Not all “sciatica” comes from the low back. In some cases, the piriformis muscle, a small stabilizer deep in the hip, can irritate or compress the sciatic nerve as it passes underneath (or occasionally through) the muscle.

When that happens, it can mimic a disc issue or nerve root problem, but the true cause is muscular.

What you might notice:
Deep ache in the buttock that can radiate down the leg
Pain sitting for long periods or when driving
Relief with standing or moving around
Tightness or tenderness when pressing on the glute area

Things that can help:
Stretching the piriformis gently (without forcing range)
Strengthening the glutes and core to reduce compensation
Avoiding prolonged sitting when possible
Using a lacrosse ball or foam roller on the glute area

In the clinic, we evaluate the full nerve pathway and treat both the piriformis and surrounding structures with Active Release Techniques, dry needling, soft tissue therapy, and adjustments to reduce nerve tension and recreate normal movement.

It feels like just yesterday we were welcoming our first patients. Ten years later, here we are, still doing what we love. Thank you to our patients for trusting us, to our friends and families for cheering us on, and to our amazing team for going the extra mile every single day.

One of the most rewarding parts of this journey has been sharing what we know. Teaching Active Release Techniques has allowed us not only to help our own patients heal, but also to train other providers and spread the benefits far and wide. Watching people move more freely and live without pain.

We’re grateful to have been invited to serve in the BMW Dallas Marathon community and to support places like The Jewish Community Center and Temple Emanu-El. These volunteer roles help give back to the neighborhoods that have embraced us from day one.

Here’s to ten years of growth, learning, and service. We can’t wait to see what the next decade brings. Thank you all for making this possible.

If you’ve ever felt numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand, especially at night or while typing, it might be carpal tunnel syndrome. This happens when the median nerve gets compressed as it passes through a small tunnel in your wrist.

A quick anatomy note: the median nerve starts up in your neck, runs down the arm, through the forearm, and finally passes through the carpal tunnel at the wrist to supply the thumb, index, middle, and part of the ring finger. Because it travels such a long path, irritation can happen at the wrist and higher up in the arm or neck.

What you might notice:
Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
Weak grip strength (dropping objects, trouble opening jars)
Hand pain that’s worse at night
Relief when shaking out the hand

A few simple things that can help:
Taking breaks from repetitive activities like typing or gripping
Stretching and mobilizing the forearm muscles
Paying attention to posture at your desk (slouched shoulders can irritate the nerve higher up)
Wearing a neutral-position wrist brace at night if symptoms are worse while sleeping

In the clinic, we trace the entire nerve pathway of the nerve...from the neck to the wrist, to see where it is getting irritated. Treatment may include Active Release Techniques, nerve glides, soft tissue therapy, and adjustments to free up the nerve and reduce pressure. The goal is to restore normal movement, decrease irritation, and get your hand working comfortably again.

Shoulder pain is one of the most common complaints we see and a lot of the time, the rotator cuff is the culprit. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles that stabilize your shoulder and help with lifting and rotating your arm. When they get irritated or overloaded, simple things like reaching overhead or sleeping on your side can get painful fast.

What you might notice:
-Pain lifting your arm overhead or reaching behind you
-Weakness when throwing, serving, or pressing weights
-Achy pain at night, especially when lying on that shoulder
-Clicking or popping with movement

A few simple things that can help:
-Staying consistent with good posture and avoiding “slouched” positions
-Strengthening the smaller stabilizing muscles around the shoulder
-Rolling or stretching the pecs and lats to take pressure off the cuff
-Modifying overhead activity until the irritation calms down

In the clinic, we evaluate how your shoulder is moving and treat with Active Release Techniques, soft tissue therapy, and adjustments to restore motion and reduce stress on the rotator cuff. The goal is to calm the pain, improve function, and get you back to the activities you love.

We see tight or painful hip flexors all the time...especially in runners and anyone who spends a lot of time sitting. These muscles help lift your leg and stabilize your pelvis, so when they’re irritated, you’ll definitely feel it.

What you might notice:
-Pain or tightness in the front of the hip or groin
-Stiffness when standing up after sitting
-Pain with running, sprinting, or kicking
-Feeling like you can’t get a full stride

A few simple things that can help:
-Switching out long bouts of sitting with movement breaks
-Strengthening your glutes and core to balance out the hip flexors
-Gentle stretching and mobility work for the front of the hip
-Using a lacrosse/tennis ball and/or foam roller to release tension around the hip

In the clinic, we assess how the hip is moving and use Active Release Techniques, functional dry needling, Graston, soft tissue rehab exercises, and/or adjustments to restore proper motion and take the load off those overworked muscles.

Highlighted are the PRIMARY hip flexors: iliopsoas, re**us femoris and sartorius.

One of the most common things we see that flies under the radar at this point in the running season is irritation of the posterior tibial tendon. This tendon runs along the inside of your ankle and plays a huge role in supporting your arch. When it gets stressed, it can cause pain with walking, running, or even just standing for long periods of time.

What you might be feeling:
Pain or swelling on the inside of the ankle or arch
Trouble standing up on your toes
Your arch looking flatter than usual
Pain that lingers the more you’re on your feet

A few things that can help:
Wearing supportive shoes (not old worn-out ones) - or walking around barefoot
Strengthening the small stabilizing muscles of the calf and foot
Rolling out the calf since that fascia ties directly into the tendon
Cutting back just enough on aggravating activity to let things calm down

In the clinic, we look at how you move and treat it with a mix of Active Release Techniques, Dry Needling, IASTM, adjustments and rehab exercises to take the stress off the tendon and get you back to your normal activities.

If you’ve ever stepped out of bed and felt a sharp pain in your heel, you know how miserable foot pain can be. We see it all the time, and our approach is all about getting you back on your feet...literally.

The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, and when it gets inflamed it can hurt like crazy. We start by assessing your biomechanics to see what’s causing the strain. Often, tight calves and Achilles tendons are part of the problem because they’re connected through the same fascia network. We use hands-on soft tissue approach (Active Release Techniques) and adjusting the foot/ankle to help increase motion.

At home some simple changes can make a big difference. If your shoes have seen better days, swap them out for a pair with proper arch support. Wearing supportive sandals instead of going barefoot on hard floors can take pressure off that irritated fascia. And don’t forget the calf muscles. Spend a few minutes each day rolling them out with a foam roller or lacrosse ball. Loosening the calf helps relieve tension on the plantar fascia.

Between the work we do in the clinic and the habits you build at home, plantar fasciitis doesn’t have to keep you sidelined. If your foot has been nagging you, give us a call.

What makes Sherman Sport & Spine different? We’re not just about 'pops'...we’re all about keeping active people moving well and feeling good.

When you come in, we start by watching how you move. That helps us spot any quirks or tight spots that might be slowing you down or could lead to an injury. From there, we use hands-on techniques like Active Release Techniques, which targets muscle knots and scar tissue so you can move more freely and/or with less pain.

We also use small tools to work on stubborn areas of soft tissue. These tools help stimulate blood flow and get your body healing properly. And it’s not just spines; we adjust shoulders, elbows, hips, knees and other joints too. Good alignment in your extremities makes a huge difference in how you move and perform.

Our goal is simple...it is to help you recover from injuries faster and stay at the top of your game. If that sounds like something you need, give us a call or schedule on our website. We’d love to help you feel your best.

I had a great time teaching Active Release Techniques® Spine Level 1 in Washington, D.C. this past weekend — and even more special, I got to do it alongside two incredible instructors: Dr. Marty DeCourcy, who I learned so much from early and currently in my ART journey, and Dr. Dan Rukeyser from Costa Rica. Huge thanks to Mike Perez for keeping everything running smoothly as our lead coordinator!

We had an outstanding group of attendees who were eager to learn and were very passionate about helping their patients. They are ready to put their new skills into practice. I’m looking forward to hearing their success stories and crossing paths again at future ART seminars.

We recently joined the Running Explained podcast to talk about sleep and performance...both key factor's in training and recovery. We stumbled upon this podcast in 2021 and excited to be apart of it. As Chairman of the BMW Dallas Marathon and past champ (10 years ago...but who's counting??) - a good night's sleep is important...even if our two kids are currently major disruptors to quality ZZZs.

Big thanks to Silver and the HCK2 PR team, plus our marketing gurus Hailey and Patty alongside Jason and Marcus, for continuing to increase the reach of the BMW Dallas Marathon. Their efforts have helped us grow our audience immensely.

Quick tip - DON'T sleep on signing up for the 2025 BMW Dallas Marathon - our races are selling out FAST.
