Heel pain keeping you off your feet? You’ve probably heard “it’s plantar fasciitis,” but here’s the truth: only about 5% of people who think they have plantar fasciitis actually do.

In this episode, Dr. Clayton Derr sits down with Dr. Allison Bullinger, physical therapist and running specialist, to unpack the most common myths about heel pain. From expensive orthotics and steroid injections to stretches you found on Google, we break down what really works—and what doesn’t.

👉 You’ll learn:

• Why most heel pain isn’t plantar fasciitis

• The surprising role weakness plays in your pain

• Why steroids, ice bottles, and rolling are just short-term fixes

• The simple strengthening exercise you can start today to relieve pain

If you’ve been limping, stretching, and Googling for answers without relief, this episode will give you clarity and a plan to finally move forward—without unnecessary meds, injections, or surgeries.
