  • 18: Chronic Ankle Instability in Runners: One Overlooked Cause of Hip and Back Pain

    18: Chronic Ankle Instability in Runners: One Overlooked Cause of Hip and Back Pain
    2026/05/01
    What if your hip pain is actually coming from your ankle? Episode 18 of Interdisciplinary Case Miles follows a 38-year-old ultra marathon runner with lateral hip pain, back discomfort, and a long history of recurring ankle sprains.

    What many runners dismiss as “no big deal” can lead to instability, altered mechanics, and long-term performance limitations.

    This conversation connects chronic ankle sprains to changes in the kinetic chain, showing how foot and ankle instability can drive hip and back pain. It also highlights the role of ligament health, balance, and neuromuscular control in keeping runners strong and resilient. Nutrition and hydration are also key factors especially for ultra and trail runners.

    Fueling, collagen support, and electrolyte balance all influence healing, coordination, and injury risk. Whether you’re running trails in the mountains, training for your next ultra, or dealing with nagging injuries that won’t go away, this episode offers practical, evidence-informed strategies to improve stability, prevent setbacks, and optimize performance.

    00:00 – Intro to Interdisciplinary Case Miles Meet the team and today’s focus on real runner cases. 01:10 – Case Overview: Ultra Runner with Hip & Back Pain A 38-year-old athlete presents with lateral hip pain, but there’s more to the story.
    03:15 – The Overlooked Clue: Chronic Ankle Sprains Why “it doesn’t hurt” doesn’t mean it’s not a problem.
    06:20 – Hip Impingement vs. Kinetic Chain Dysfunction How foot and ankle issues can drive hip pathology.
    09:10 – Hypermobility vs. Tightness Explained Why some joints are loose while others compensate. 12:00 – What Happens When You Keep Spraining Your Ankle Ligament damage, collagen breakdown, and loss of stability over time.
    15:30 – The 2% Stability Loss Rule Why repeated ankle sprains create long-term dysfunction. 18:40 – How Ankle Instability Causes Hip & Back Pain Connection between foot mechanics, glutes, and loading patterns.
    22:10 – Physical Therapy Strategies for Ankle Stability Balance training, foot control, joint mobilization, and plyometrics.
    27:00 – Collagen, Nutrition & Ligament Healing What runners need to know about fueling and recovery.
    30:15 – Electrolytes, Hydration & Injury Risk How dehydration affects reaction time, coordination, and proprioception.
    34:40 – Trail Running Risks & Cognitive Fatigue Why fueling impacts decision-making and injury prevention.
    38:10 – Shoe Choice & Terrain Considerations Stack height, stability, and trail-specific risks.
    42:20 – When an “Ankle Sprain” Might Be More Serious Recognizing fractures and complications. 45:00 – Key Takeaways from Each Expert Simple, actionable advice to prevent and manage ankle
    instability.

  • 17: Low Back Pain in Runners: When Hormones, Sleep, and Core Stability Collide

    17: Low Back Pain in Runners: When Hormones, Sleep, and Core Stability Collide
    2026/04/17
    Is your low back pain coming from running or is it something else entirely?

    In this episode of Interdisciplinary Case Miles, Dr. Sara Raiser, sports medicine physician and running medicine speicalist, Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards, orthopedic physical therapist and running PT, and sports dietitian Kelsey Pontius walk through a runner case involving low back pain during the perimenopause transition.

    The case involves a 41-year-old female physician and half-marathon runner who initially seeks help for nutrition during perimenopause. During the consultation, she casually mentions intermittent low back pain, poor sleep, and high work stress, factors that can all influence recovery and musculoskeletal health.The conversation expands into a deeper discussion of how hormonal changes, sleep quality, fueling habits, biomechanics, and pelvic floor health can all play a role in back pain for runners. We explain how shifting hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone influence collagen health, tendon recovery, muscle repair, sleep quality, and energy levels. For active women, these changes can show up as slower recovery, stubborn body changes, and nagging aches that weren’t there before.In this episode, we discuss:
    • Why low back pain in runners is often multifactorial
    • The impact of perimenopause and hormonal changes on recovery and connective tissue
    • How sleep and fueling patterns influence injury risk and healing
    • Why runners with back pain should evaluate core stability, breathing, and pelvic floor function
    • How hip mobility and running mechanics can affect the lower back
    • When back pain requires medical evaluation—and when runners can safely stay active
    • Strategies to keep running while managing back discomfort
    If you're a runner dealing with low back pain, sleep disruption, hormonal changes, or training stress, this episode explores how all of these factors intersect and what you can do to stay healthy and keep running.

    If you’re enjoying these conversations, please follow the podcast and take a moment to rate or review it. Sharing it with a runner, coach, or healthcare provider helps us reach the people who can make the biggest difference in athletes’ lives. This podcast is for runners at every level, the coaches guiding them, and the healthcare professionals who care for them. We believe interdisciplinary care leads to better outcomes and stronger runners.

  • 16: Plantar Fasciitis in Runners: Are You Hobbling to the Bathroom in the Morning?

    16: Plantar Fasciitis in Runners: Are You Hobbling to the Bathroom in the Morning?
    2026/04/03
    Are you hobbling to the bathroom in the morning because of heel pain? Many runners with plantar fasciitis ignore that early symptom for months until it starts affecting every run. In episode 16 of the Interdisciplinary Case Miles Podcast, Dr. Sara Raiser, sports medicine physician and running specialist, Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards, orthopedic physical therapist and running PT, and sports dietitian Kelsey Pontius break down a case involving chronic plantar fasciitis that slowly worsened over time.

    The case involves a 42-year-old runner who runs 3–5 miles nearly every day to manage work stress. For over a year she ignored classic plantar fasciitis symptoms, morning heel pain and stiffness after sitting because the pain would improve once she started moving. Eventually, the pain began showing up during her runs and getting worse halfway through, forcing her to finally seek help.In this episode, the team explains why plantar fasciitis often becomes a chronic plantar fasciopathy, why morning heel pain happens, and why runners often wait far too long before addressing the root causes.You’ll learn:
    • Why morning heel pain and hobbling after sitting are classic plantar fasciitis symptoms
    • Why many runners develop plantar fasciitis after months or years of subtle warning signs
    • Why foot strength and running mechanics matter more than stretching alone
    • The role of calf mobility, great toe motion, and the kinetic chain in plantar fascia loading
    • When treatments like shockwave therapy, PRP, or injections may be appropriate
    • Why plantar fasciitis rehab can take 6–9 months for chronic cases
    • How nutrition, protein intake, vitamin D, and micronutrients support connective tissue healing
    • The mental side of injury when running is your primary stress relief
    • How long rehab realistically takes
    If you're a runner struggling with heel pain, plantar fasciitis, or foot pain when you first step out of bed, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening and how to recover without giving up running.
