Running coach/sports medicine doctor recommendations for heel pain? I’m a runner and have been dealing with what I thought was plantar fasciitis (off and on heel pain) for several months. I’ve tried all the popular treatments. I’ve been to a podiatrist and physical therapy with not much improvement. An MRI revealed that it’s likely not plantar fasciitis...and that there isn’t anything visibly wrong with my foot/heel.
I’d like to get a second opinion from a sports medicine doctor and/or a running coach, the latter of which would ideally be able to analyze my running style to see if my form could be contributing to the problem. I’ve had this done in the past before I moved to Nashville (they filmed me running treadmill and watched it in slow-motion to analyze my foot strike, stride, etc.).
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

My mother swears by [Dr Holmes](https://www.impactsportsnashville.com) at Impact Sports. After a car accident when she was young she no longer has any cervical discs in her neck(or if there are any they’re paper thin). She’s been seeing Dr. H for 5 years and she loves him.
Did anyone go to Nashville Orthopedics on 24th. Street in Nashville? I can't get anywhere with a phone call...says the number is no more. They have my record and I need it for my new doctor. If you know anything, please let me know. Thanks!
