Not every sore heel is plantar fasciitis. 🤔

A podiatrist we trained with reckons there are 40-odd different heel pains that all get called the same thing. These are the ones we check for most often:

• A thinned heel fat pad — a deep, bruise-like ache right in the centre of the heel
• An irritated bursa ("policeman's heel") — more constant, doesn't ease as you warm up
• The tibialis posterior tendon — the arch-holding tendon; pain on the inside of the ankle. This is the most common misdiagnosis we see.
• The Achilles — plenty of people say "plantar fasciitis" then point to the back of the heel
• An irritated nerve — burning, tingling, or pain at rest

Each of these needs a different plan. Which is exactly why we assess before we treat.

Condition of the Month for November: Plantar Fasciitis

You know the one. You swing your legs out of bed, put your foot down, and the first few steps feel like walking on broken glass. A minute later it's eased off. Then you sit down for a coffee, stand up, and there it is again.

Here's the key idea: the plantar fascia is a tough band under your foot that works like a bowstring, stopping your arch flattening with every step. When it's asked to do more than it can currently cope with, it complains. It's a load problem, not a damage problem — which is good news, because load and capacity are things we can change.

Three weeks until Mike runs 26.2 miles in Dublin 🏃

The training has gone… mostly to plan. The shoulder has behaved. The long runs have not always been dignified.

He’s running the Dublin Marathon for The Gavin Glynn Foundation in memory of four-year-old Kitto Jones — a charity that helps cover travel costs for families whose children need specialist treatment abroad.

And thanks to everyone who’s donated so far, Mike has now smashed his €1,500 target, with €1,757 raised! 🎉

But there’s no reason to stop there…

If you’d like to help Mike push that total even higher, every donation is hugely appreciated

Back to school, back to the desk, back to the back ache.

If your lower back has started feeling tight, stiff or achy since getting back into the routine, you’re definitely not alone.

Long days sitting at a desk can leave the muscles around your lower back feeling tense and uncomfortable — and sometimes stretching alone just doesn’t seem to shift it.

That’s where dry needling can come in. We use fine needles to target tight, irritable areas of muscle, helping them relax so we can then get more from the hands-on treatment and exercises that follow.

Mike, Yasmin and Hannah all offer dry needling, and it can simply be included as part of your normal chiropractic or sports therapy session.

Struggling with a tight or achy back after getting back into your routine? Get in touch to book an appointment.

"You only get one pair of ears, just like you're going to get one set of eyes. Take care of them."

That was Shannon's parting advice, and it's a fair point. Hearing is one of those things we tend to only think about once it's going.

Worth getting looked at if you've noticed:

🔇 Hearing that's become muffled or dull
🫧 A blocked or full feeling that won't clear
🔔 Ringing
🌀 Dizziness alongside any of the above
🎧 Hearing aids that keep whistling or blocking up

Shannon runs Auricle Ear Health & Microsuction here in Exmouth. In her words: "Even if you just want to chat about your ears, book in." → auriclecare.co.uk

We asked Shannon the question everyone wants answered: cotton buds or ear candles?

Neither, is the short version — but for different reasons.

Cotton buds are the genuinely dangerous one. They push wax further in, and they can perforate an eardrum.

Ear candles won't do that. They just don't do anything else either, whatever the packaging claims.

Your ears are largely self-cleaning. When they aren't managing on their own, that's a job for someone who can actually see what they're doing.

"You can change someone's whole life in the space of 30 minutes." 👂

That's Shannon Nelkowski on the best part of her job. Shannon is a CQC-registered nurse who runs Auricle Ear Health & Microsuction here in Exmouth, and we sat down with her for this month's interview.

She came to ear care from haematology nursing and has now spent nearly five years doing nothing but ears. She's had patients arrive convinced they were going deaf, when the culprit turned out to be a plug of wax.

Blocked ears are one of those things people put up with for far too long. Muffled hearing, a feeling of fullness, ringing, the odd bit of dizziness.

If you fancy making Mike's October a bit more bearable… 🙏

He's running the Dublin Marathon for The Gavin Glynn Foundation, in memory of four-year-old Kitto Jones. The charity covers travel costs for children needing specialist treatment abroad.

Target: EUR 1,500. In Mike's words, your donations will make "the chub rub and ni**le chafing that little bit more bearable."

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we've already reached our original fundraising target — but we're not stopping there.

Every bit helps, and it'll give him something to think about somewhere around mile 20.

Why Mike is running 26.2 miles in October 💙

He's running in memory of Kitto Jones. Kitto was diagnosed with ATRT — an aggressive brain tumour — in early 2025, and had surgery and pioneering chemotherapy in Germany with his family beside him. He passed away in June this year, aged four.

Getting Kitto to Germany was possible because of The Gavin Glynn Foundation, a charity that covers travel costs for children who need specialist treatment abroad. It means families can concentrate on their child instead of on flights, hotels and paperwork at the worst moment of their lives.

Mike's fundraiser is called Team Kitman. The target is EUR 1,500 and he'd very much like to beat it.
