In this solo podcast, Dr. Beau discusses a case study of a collegiate runner he has been treating since middle school. The conversation delves into the runner's injury history, particularly a navicular stress fracture, and the impact of carbon-plated shoes on their biomechanics. Dr. Beau explores the runner's phenotype, rehabilitation strategies, and the importance of maintaining mobility during growth spurts. The episode concludes with insights on performance goals and the significance of individualized care in sports medicine.
Alicia Harlov, of Humble Hoof, talks about the different aspects of Navicular Disease. Note - the beginning of this webinar was not recorded. Only the introductions were lost and she repeated the first slide.
The navicular bone isn't a big bone, but is a critically important one. A fracture of the navicular is one of the most frightening things that I see in runners. If you get a navicular stress fracture, there are a few mistakes that I often notice. If you can recognize them, you may spend a lot less time in a fracture boot, or off running. What are the top five navicular stress fracture mistakes I see in runners? Well, that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
I have recently had a rash of runners with navicular fractures. The navicular is a bone that is right on the top of your foot, in front of your ankle and it's also at the apex of your arch. Navicular fractures are scary because doctors often recommend surgery. There are four times when you might really need to have surgery for a navicular fracture and in this episode, we are going to talk about why. What are the four times a navicular fracture might need surgery? Well, that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
I was on a second opinion call with a runner. She developed a stress fracture in her accessory navicular bone. If that wasn't enough, she then started having pain in her arch in the tendon that pulls on her big toe. That tendon is called the Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendon, or FHL Tendon. Can an accessory navicular stress fracture cause flexor hallucis longus tendinitis in a runner? Well, the short answer is yes, and I am going to explain how in today's episode of the Doc On The Run podcast.
In this episode of The Sports Medicine Project, we explore navicular stress fractures—a high-risk injury requiring a unique approach due to the bone's anatomy, biomechanics, and healing challenges. We cover: Anatomy and biomechanics of the navicular. Risk factors: young athletes, biomechanics, and bone health. Delayed diagnosis and the role of imaging (CT vs. MRI). The debate over blood supply and its impact on healing. Management strategies: non-weight-bearing protocols, surgery vs. conservative care. Rehabilitation and return-to-sport considerations.

Today I was doing a consultation with a runner who has a thing called an "accessory navicular." She thought that the bump was much more swollen than normal. She had basically rolled her ankle and banged that bone into a rock and then she was having some swelling there over the arch. She did a form of cryotherapy called the contrast bath routine to reduce the inflammation. It suddenly got much smaller. Like the bone shrank. How can that happen? If I have an accessory navicular bone in my foot and I do the contrast bath routine, will that fix it? Well, that is a great question and that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.

The old saying “no hoof, no horse” couldn't be more true. If you have ever found yourself in a situation with a horse that had foot issues, you quickly realize there isn't much you can do with that horse from a work or athletic standpoint, you may be devoting hours/days/weeks/months to helping the horse heal, and sometimes the situation may be career, or even life, ending. This episode sifts through many hoof conditions and explains when nutrition may or may not play a role.

In this episode me and my good friend and ex colleague Wayne Preece FWCF sat down in his home and after an amazing home made curry we spent several hours discussing the filthy N-Word! That's right we discussed Navicular! There is often confusion with anecdotal knowledge and modern scientific fact, disease, or syndrome. Hopefully you may learn or get something to think about from this conversation. We go off on tangents and openly chat about our experiences in conversation and not a formal lecture! I really enjoyed this conversation I hope you do!

Thanks again for joining me on this month's episode and the last three episodes we've delved into the upper body BFR mini series. In particular, we looked at article reviews with respect to muscular benefits of BFR Bench Press, and bicep curls. And the last episode we looked at how it could be used to improve recovery from a hand fracture or more so improving pain and function with the addition of BFR to a normal rehab program for a hand fracture. And for today's episode, like they say, variety's the spice of life. So we're going to take a small break from the mini-series and we're actually going to go into your questions answered. And although this wasn't a specific, your questions answered, I do get a lot of questions from people out there, like yourself who have actually got their own question. And afterwards I sat down and I wrote some notes and I thought I'd actually formulate it into this episode you've got here. The question I have today is from an athletics Sprint's coach, and he has an athlete who has a foot fracture of the navicular bone. Now this can be quite a serious injury if not looked after properly. His question was around how we could use BFR within his rehab and return to run program. With respect to this injury, I'm going to be talking about the affected limb and that's going to be the foot that has the fracture. This is a really practical episode with lots of different uses for BFR in this scenario. I hope you enjoy it. If you know of someone who has a similar kind of injury and you would benefit from listening to this episode, please share it. If you are actually going through the same injury and you want some guidance on how you could be using in your own training, I could actually help you with that as well. So please contact me via my website or DM me through my socials on Twitter or Instagram, which is @chrisgaviglio. Also there's loads of information on my website, which is www.sportsrehab.com.au. And I also have a YouTube channel, which has SportsRehabAus. Thanks for listening. I'll see you next week, when we're going to get back into the upper body mini series. Good luck with your training and remember to keep the pump. Chris

Biohacking Flat Feet By Dr. Michael Brandon In general, people love shoes, and it's evident by the number of pairs that we have in our closets and the price we pay for them. We make our choices of which shoe to buy based on the brand, features they may have, and even simply just how they look. Unfortunately the reasons why we pick out a specific pair, many times are also the exact reasons that we shouldn't be wearing them. There has been a plethora of research out recently showing the benefits of slipping off the shoes and walking around barefoot, especially outside. Being barefoot regularly improves our gait and foot kinematics, and well as strengthens and prevents damage to all of our joints, not just in the lower extremity. Firstly, it's well known that flat hard surfaces aren't the best for us, and most of us can go all day without ever even touching the ground. We go from our home's floors, to the side walk, pavement, and then more hard floors at work. Let alone the fact that our shoes, are still just hard flat surfaces! The ground isn't flat, and it has a spongy give to it that makes us use the intrinsic muscle of the foot to stabilize as we move. Then, when we are barefoot, our feet get to feel and be aware of the environment to help with balance and decrease the risk of injuries like ankle sprains; this is called proprioception. It's also been shown that as we age, our feet anatomically and functionally change shape compared to habitual barefooters. Shoes confide our feet into small areas and constrict the movement, especially laterally, of the tarsals and metatarsals. Most running shoes brag about having a thick sole and heel for comfort, and this as well has been shown to create a negative impact. A big difference in running between barefooters and those who routinely wear shoes, is that when we run, shoe runners have a predominate heel strike, that is landing with their heels, where as barefooters tend to land with their forefoot. The issue here is that with heel striking, there is a 7x increase in the impact on the foot, and that is with the cushioned sole. The thick sole actually promotes heel strike, so though it may be more comfortable, its causing more damage of the lower extremity. Barefooters have a much lighter impact while running with forefoot strike because now the calf and lower leg is used as a shock absorber and uses that to propel us forward as opposed to taking the impact in the inch thick sole, ankle, and mid foot which can damage the medial longitudinal arch and promote a “flat foot” as well as increase the impact of the knee, hips, and low back. Something interesting is that those who typical don't wear shoes, keep that decreased impact even on hard surfaces. So the myth that hard surfaces are bad, isn't as true as first thought; it all depends on the kinetics of your gait. Though just walking and running around barefoot can help increase the strength of the foot, there's a quick 5 minute exercise protocal that can be done which has been shown to strengthen the feet, and help to both prevent and heal issues such as ankle sprains, shin splints, and flat feet. Below is a case study that was performed on these 6 foot drills. Hello Biohacker Nation! Today is all about the foot. Roughly 1 out of 3 of us have at least 1 flat foot and it's believed that it can lower balance ability and increase the likelihood of various injuries like ankle sprains, knee, hip, and back pain. We ran into the lab to see if we could biohack a way to a less flat foot using a few simple drills that was taught to me by Dr. Russ Ebbets, D.C. They were done every day for 1 month, bare foot in the grass and doing all 6 of them took roughly 4 minutes each day. They are meant to strengthen the foot to rebuild the fallen medial longintudinal arch which is characterisitc of flat feet (also known as Pes Planus). These foot drills consist of simply walking up to 80ft 6 times with slightly different foot positions on each pass. The foot positions are walking: 1) on your heels 2) on your toes 3) on the onside edge of the foot (Inverted) 4) on the inside edge (everted) 5) with toes pointing inward 6) toes pointing outward Here is a quick sample of what they look like when done while marching in place: PHOTOS AND VIDEOS AVAILABLE AT BIOHACKHUMANS.COM So what do these results mean? With my case study, both of my feet became slightly less pronated after the drills with the right one having a larger change. The 2 of them equalizing by the end of the study at 24 degrees. Good start, but the evidence on the importance of this mild at best, but there was a change noted. By week 3 I could feel while walking that the right foot was turned in more (less pronated and more supinated), so the measurement change was no large surprise. With the Navicular drop test, the avergae person has the bone drop by about 0.6cm and most literature on the topic agrees that 1cm or more of a drop declares a flat foot. My results show that both feet had a positive change by 0.3 cm and the left foot even dropped below the 1cm mark showing a significant change for both feet. Next, the foot pressure evaluation. What we are looking for is to have no areas of high pressure (dark red) showing that it is evenly distributed across the foot. With a “perfect” foot, weight should be evenly distributed from the heel, to the whole outside edge until it gets to the “knuckles” or balls of the toes with no high pressure areas seen. The post foot drill scan showed a change heavily into that desired weight pattern. So what does all of this mean? Did I fix my flat feet? Not completely, but all signs show that both of my feet noticeably improved, and again, this was only done for 1 month. What if this is done for 3 months straight? 6 months? A full year? If someone is trying to increase their bench press, they never stop after one month, but expect a strength change by then, and that is precisely what these drills have done for my feet.This appears to be a good way to strengthen the foot and rebuild the fallen arch, instead of just constantly wearing orthotics for the rest of one's life. So final thoughts? These foot drills were fast, easy, free, and work! I liked them before and now that I began to see results in such a short period of time, I think they're a fantastic way to help one's foot health. I plan to continue these drills indefinetly and BioHack my feet literally 1 step at a time “Flat Feet More Common Than You Might Think.” Cbslocal.com, 2013, baltimore.cbslocal.com/2013/06/13/flat-feet-more-common-than-you-might-think/.

Biohacking Crossfit By: Jim Goetz Having the title, "Fittest on Earth" is straight up awesome!!! Being the best at anything on this planet is awesome! Being the fastest on earth is pretty cool. Being the strongest on earth is also cool. But cross fit is a sport that is a combination of the biggest, fastest and strongest all into one. Cross Fit is a sport that measures pure athletic ability. It is athletic ability at it's most raw state. To be the top baseball player in the world, you have to spend countless hours honing your talent and skills to be able to pick up a ball, react to it's movement and future location and move the bat swift and powerful through that path of the ball. It's a learned skill. Cross fit is simply pure and unadulterated athleticism. What does Cross Fit have to do with BioHacking? Everything!!! As seen in our article on exercise, it's now common knowledge that humans were meant to move. We were hunters and gatherers turned sedentary by our own technology and laze. In order to unlock the utmost in human performance, we must move. Cross fit is movement. Doing it properly will enhance long term ability of movement and health. Doing it improperly will assure injury and poor daily performance. Perhaps the greatest Cross Fit athlete to date has been Rich Froning. He won the Reebok Cross Fit games in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 and then retired from the open competition and won the team competition in 2015 and 2016. He could be considered the Babe Ruth of Cross Fit. He says that he does not adhere to any strict nutrition regimen and works out multiple times per day. On the surface, it makes him appear to be some alien or someone on insane amounts of HGH or steroids. While allegations in the sport are rampant, I do not think the latter is entirely the case. How then does he not burnout if he participates in multiple workouts daily? Cross Fit incorporates multiple elements of training from high intensity interval training (HIIT), Olympic lifting, plyometrics, powerlifting, gymnastics, girevoy, calisthenics, strongman elements, swimming, and middle distance runs. It literally incorporates the training elements of all sports and combines them into one. But training for Cross Fit competitions must be done in a manner that allows the competitor to be at their strongest and not fatigued or broken down in any way. A study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research entitled "Crossfit-based high intensity power training improves maximal aerobic fitness and body composition" followed 54 participants for 10 weeks of CrossFit training. The study said that "...a notable percentage of our subjects (16%) did not complete the training program and return for follow-up testing." The authors said "This may call into question the risk-benefit ratio for such extreme training programs..." This study resulted in a lawsuit by Cross Fit against the NSCA, to which this article and company will not touch with a ten foot pole. The purpose of mentioning this is the idea of overtraining as could easily occur in Cross Fit's WOD (workout of the day) without any variation would appear that burnout could easily happen. Even worse, the disease of rhabdomylosis is present within the sport. This is the breakdown of muscle tissue due to exercise exertion. Remember that most studies show positive benefits of exercise are achieved through moderate exercise. Cross Fit is a tad bit more than moderate. On the positive side, Cross Fit has been proven to lead to dramatic gains in fitness in a very short period of time. So let's take a BioHacker's perspective to this sport to be the fittest you can be and perhaps for one of the few of you, the Fittest on Earth. First, we must avoid injury. Second we must perform to the highest of our ability while training the body to adapt to changes in exercises while simultaneously experiencing gains whereas the result is an increase in athletic strength and conditioning. In order to achieve this we must ensure adequate rest, recovery and proper adaptation to the program we participate in. The human body is extremely resilient in how it adapts. The body will adapt to the stresses put upon it. Repetitive and reasonably intense stimulation strengthens the nerve impulse to the muscles involved, creating greater muscular strength and endurance. However, I did say, "reasonably intense". If the stress is too much and too fast, the body will break down resulting in injury. Another concept to become successful in Cross Fit is practice. Movements such as Olympic lifting, muscle ups, kip up pull ups, rope climbs and the such take coordination and skill. The Hebbian theory is a neuroscience theory that is best summarized by Siegrid Löwel's phrase: "Cells that fire together, wire together." Yes, perfect practice makes perfect. In order to continue to progress while as the same time rest, it's best to follow a technique called, Periodization, as written about by Tudor Bompa. This technique "mixes it up" while allowing an athlete to peak at the right time. As with Cross Fit one may have to peak over the course of a few days; proper implementation of this will allow for success. As there are multiple types of periodization (linear, daily undulating and block), using the right one or a combination thereof is crucial. This will allow for increases in performance while allowing the body to rest and recover. Working with a highly trained strength and conditioning coach who is fluent in this is suggested. Nutrition is key to recovery as well. Without the right ratio of nutrients, the body cannot properly recover and improve. I will get more into this in what will most likely be future BioHacker Talk entries. If done right, Cross Fit can be a fun and enjoyable way to challenge yourself and achieve new heights of fitness. If done wrong, it can be a miserable way to the hospital. BioHacking is more than simply taking a pill for a specific purpose and hoping for a biophysiological change. BioHacking is habits and ways of doing things differently than you have done before. Following the proper principles and progressing properly along with adequate rest and nutrition are key to your biohacking success. Who knows, perhaps you may be the next one to be recognized as, "Fittest on Earth". #BioHackHumans #BioHacker #edtech #BioHackthePlanet #crossfit #sixpack #fitness #training #playground References 1.

Navicular disease is associated with intraosseous hypertension and venous stasis. Although core decompression by drilling is an accepted treatment regimen for similar conditions in humans, no experimental results exist concerning its application in the equine navicular bone and its physiological effects. During an in vitro study, the effects of decompression drilling of various drill bit sizes and drill channel numbers on the intraosseous pressure and the 3-point bending breaking strength of isolated navicular bones were studied and correlated to the bone mineral density (BMD). Core decompression significantly reduced the intraosseous pressure response to stresstest- injections. A significant correlation existed between response to stress tests and BMD. The drill channels did not significantly reduce the 3-point bending breaking strength, regardless of their size and number. In the course of the second part of the investigation, core decompression was carried out arthroscopically in navicular bones of 6 healthy horses. The procedure was performed in both front limbs staged by 3 weeks. The venous, arterial, articular and intraosseous pressures were recorded before and after drilling, after intraosseous stress – test- injections as well as 3 resp. 6 weeks after core decompression. Postoperative lameness was assessed subjectively and using force plate gait analysis before inclusion of the animals into the study as well as 1, 3 and 6 weeks post operatively. Navicular radiographs were taken prior to acceptance of the horses into the program, immediately after surgery and at week 1,3,6,9 and 12. Fluorochrome bone – labeling was performed by alternating intravenous administration of oxytetracycline and calcein green every 3 weeks starting at day 0 (first surgery). The animals were sacrificed following a 12 week observation period. The navicular bones were isolated, the bone mineral density was measured and bone histology was performed on undecalcified sections using Toluidinblue and von Kossa/McNeill stains in addition to the unstained fluorochrome slides. Core decompression significantly reduced the intraosseous pressure response to stresstest- injections. The effect decreased over the course of the observation period. A significant correlation existed between response to stress tests and BMD. 114 No significant lameness was observed after the first 5 days following surgery. The drill defects were clearly visible on tangential radiographs for the entire study period. Histology revealed an almost complete seal of the drill channels with fibrous tissue and woven bone at the time of sacrifice, 12 weeks after surgery. Significant remodeling and neovascularization was demonstrated in the vicinity of the surgery sites. In conclusion core decompression of the equine navicular bone appears to be a safe procedure in regard to breaking strength and postoperative lameness score. It significantly decreased intraosseous pressures following stress tests in healthy horses. As the direct decompression effects of the procedure are short – lived due to the rapid healing of the drill channels, its possible long – term effects, which might be extended by the neovascularization, as well as its efficacy in the treatment of horses with navicular disease remain to be assessed.
