Most plantar fasciitis gets better with the approach we described in our last post. But a stubborn minority doesn't. The story is usually the same. Nine months in, sometimes two or three years. If that's you, this post is for you.

When heel pain won't shift despite doing the right things, it's rarely because you need more of the same. It's because something is stopping the tissue from healing. Our job is to find out what.

Two people can walk in with the same first-steps-in-the-morning heel pain and need quite different plans. Here we give you a behind-the-scenes look at how we differentiate foot pain and what treatment looks like.

If you’ve ever had foot pain, you’ve probably had someone tell you that you have Plantar Fasciitis. Most of our patients can’t pronounce it though, let alone understand it! So we thought we’d put together a layman’s guide to the most common type of foot pain going.

There's a conversation we have most weeks in clinic. We suggest needling; the reply comes back: "I didn't know you did that here."

So this one is overdue. Acupuncture and Dry Needling are part of what we do at Pyramid Health, and we use them day in and day out. Here we give you the lowdown.

Our chiro-in-chief has done the unthinkable and signed up to the Dublin marathon, giving himself only 3 months to get in shape. Can it be done? Should it be done? Why would you do such a thing?

Ever wondered what someone can tell about you just by looking inside your ears? Whether you're a surfer, a gym regular, or someone who's been quietly using the end of their glasses as a makeshift ear scoop (yes, really), your ears are apparently giving away more than you'd think.

We sat down with Shannon Nelkowski - CQC registered nurse, ear care specialist, and self-confessed "nosey parker" -- to talk wax, weird discoveries, and why you should probably put the cotton buds down.

If you've ever had a pain that starts in your back or buttock and travels down the back of your leg, you've probably wondered if it's sciatica. It's one of the most common things we hear about in clinic, and it's also one of the most misunderstood.

This post is the plain-English guide we wish every patient had before they started worrying. We'll cover what sciatica actually is, the things that pretend to be sciatica but aren't, when it needs urgent attention, and the questions we get asked most often

In our last post we explained what sciatica actually is — pain along the path of the sciatic nerve — and the conditions that pretend to be sciatica but aren't.

Once we know what we're dealing with, we can pull from a range of approaches — and because we've got a mixed team under one roof in Exmouth, we can usually match the treatment to the person rather than forcing the person to fit the treatment.

Mike Richards shares his Shoulder Dislocation story (so far) and tells you what you can do if your shoulder pain won’t settle.

For many years, pregnant women were told to “take it easy” and to avoid exercise or challenging themselves physically. Thankfully research now shows that not only is it safe for women, but actually beneficial, writes Yasmin McIsted.

No, it’s not deja vu; we really have got yet another great practitioner joining the ranks here at Pyramid Health!

Hot on the heels of Yasmin, our new Chiropractor, Abi joins us as a 2025 Sports Therapy graduate and currently in the final stages of a Masters degree in Sports Rehabilitation.

We talk about the issues surrounding B12 deficiency - from the symptoms and causes, to why your GP probably won’t flag it. And we’ve brought receipts.

Pregnancy is one of the most challenging things the human body goes through! As your baby grows, your posture, centre of gravity, breathing patterns and your mobility all begin to change. Whilst these physical, emotional and hormonal changes are completely normal, they can often add additional strain on your spine, pelvic and surrounding muscles, writes Yasmin McIsted.

When people hear “Sports Therapist,” they often assume it’s only for athletes. But the truth is, most of the people we treat aren’t athletes at all.

We're thrilled to announce that Yasmin McIsted is joining the Pyramid Health team, and we’re very excited about the future here at the clinic…

We're proud to announce that Pyramid Health has been awarded the Patient Partnership Quality Mark by the Royal College of Chiropractors. Here's what it is, how it works, and what we think makes the award special.

Our first few clients have graduated from the 6 Week Bulletproof Back Programme and the reviews are in… It’s a hit!

You may have already read on this blog about the benefits of nutritional advice in maximising the benefits of our hands-on care.

It’s been so good in fact, that we’ve decided to go a bit further down the rabbit hole. We’re adding another level of thoroughness to our offering with the option of comprehensive blood tests. Read all about it here

Last year, we started selling clinical grade supplements in clinic. To say I was wary would be an understatement, but the last 12 months has been a quiet revolution in the practice.

So I wanted to illustrate the point better with a few case studies which show the power of adding in some of the right stuff. These outcomes were particularly satisfying for me, as it felt like I exceeded the patient’s expectations, as well as my own. Helping someone get back a part of their life they’d given up on is truly the “Everest” in our line of work.
