🏖 As we move into the holidays and holiday travel here is a little something for those who are beach bound. Are flip flops OK to wear? Check out our blog post on that subject: https://www.bodyworxphysicaltherapy.net/2018/06/14/flip-flops-should-i-wear-them-can-i-wear-them/. Don't let pour footwear ruin your travel.

The Silent Culprit: Unsupportive Footwear

Most of us don’t give much thought to our shoes unless they’re uncomfortable or wearing out. But unsupportive footwear—like flat sandals, old running shoes, or anything that lets your foot roll inward or that doesn’t take into account your unique feet topography—can create subtle imbalances that ripple up through your legs. Each step you take changes how your joints absorb force. Multiply that by thousands of steps a day, and it’s easy to see why pain eventually shows up somewhere unexpected.

A true Thanksgiving gift you can give yourself is having the right footwear for the adventures you will be enjoying. Backyard 🏈 game, family 🥾in the woods, day at the 🏖 and hanging in the sand all are better with happy 👣.

How Common is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis affects roughly 1 in 10 people at some point in their lives. It’s especially common in runners, people who stand for long hours, and anyone with certain foot mechanics that put extra stress on the arch. That stabbing pain in the heel, particularly first thing in the morning or after sitting for a while, is a classic sign. Left untreated, it can linger for months or longer and make every step uncomfortable.

💡 The combination of dry needling and eccentric exercises was more effective in reducing pain and improving hand function compared to NSAID-based interventions. These findings support the use of dry needling as an adjunct therapy to eccentric exercises for the management of lateral epicondylalgia.

👉🏻 This is from the new paper "Efficacy of Dry Needling Combined with Eccentric Exercise Versus Oral and Topical NSAID Treatment in Patients with Tennis Elbow: A Randomized Controlled Trial" by Sánchez-Milá et al 2025
