🦴 Heel Spur 101

A heel spur is a small calcium deposit that forms on the heel bone due to repetitive stress and tension—often accompanying plantar fasciitis 🦶. Many people have heel spurs and don’t even know it. When pain does occur, it’s usually from irritated soft tissues, not the spur itself.
🚨Common causes include:
• Plantar fasciitis
• Tight calves or Achilles tendon
• Poor footwear
• Prolonged standing or high-impact activity

💪 How physical therapy helps:
We focus on reducing stress on the heel with targeted stretching, strengthening, manual therapy, gait and footwear guidance—helping relieve pain and prevent it from coming back🚫.
👏 Luckily, surgery is rarely needed, but therapy done right matters!

"Extensor mechanism pain syndrome" is a fancy term for pain that arises from the structures responsible for straightening (extending) the knee. The “extensor mechanism” includes: quad muscles + quad tendons + patella + patellar tendon + tibial tubercle 🦵
This syndrome is essentially an umbrella term ☂️for pain caused by irritation, overuse, or dysfunction of any of these components. It often shows up in people who perform repetitive jumping, running, squatting, or kneeling 🧎‍♂️ 🏃‍♂️🏋️
Dry needling reduces tension, improves blood flow, calms tendon pain, and helps your knee move and function more normally. When combined with strengthening, it speeds your recovery and decreases strain on the extensor mechanism 👏

🛑 ACL rehab isn’t just about healing — it’s about preventing what comes next. Physical therapy plays a critical role before and after injury!
Here are 5 ACL facts you should know 👇🧠:

1️⃣ Most ACL tears happen WITHOUT contact.
- Cutting, pivoting, and landing mechanics are the most common causes — not collisions.

2️⃣ Female athletes are up to 3× more likely to tear their ACL.
- Differences in strength, movement patterns, and neuromuscular control play a big role.

3️⃣ Young athletes have the highest re-tear risk.
- Athletes under 25 who return to sport face a 23–29% risk of a second ACL injury.

4️⃣ Time alone doesn’t mean you’re ready to return to sport.
- ACL recovery should be based on strength, movement quality, and swelling, not just months post-surgery.

5️⃣ ACL injuries increase long-term knee arthritis risk.
- Even with surgery, ACL injuries can raise the risk of knee osteoarthritis later in life — especially if meniscus damage is involved.

This patient is suffering from scapular pain and bicep tendinitis after a rotator cuff repair. We decided to take a “stab” at it with dry needling! 😏💉
After a rotator cuff repair, muscles around the shoulder blade and biceps tendon often become overworked, tight, or protective, leading to lingering scapular pain and bicipital tendinitis 😤
Dry needling helps by:
🔹Releasing tight trigger points in overactive shoulder and scapular muscles�
🔹 Improving local blood flow to irritated tissues�
🔹Reducing muscle guarding that places excess stress on the biceps tendon�
🔹Restoring normal muscle activation and movement patterns
When combined with targeted strengthening and mobility work, dry needling can help calm pain, improve motion, and support a smoother recovery—so patients can progress with confidence 💪. As always, dry needling is just one tool we use as part of a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan.
