What is IT Band Syndrome? How can Sports Chiropractic Care help?

The iliotibial (IT) band is a thick band of connective tissue that runs from the hip, along the outside of the thigh, and attaches just below the knee. When the muscles that attach to this band (Glute Min and Tensor Fascia Latae) become tight or overused, it can rub against the outer knee and/or hip, causing inflammation and pain. When the IT band thickens or tightens, it places extra pressure on the knee bursa, leading to swelling, irritation, and pain—especially during running, cycling, or prolonged walking. Our goal with treatment and rehabilitation exercises is to restore the muscle balance necessary in order to decrease the tension of the soft tissues and therefore reduce the friction across the knee or hip. In other words, addressing the root cause and not just covering up symptoms!

What's in a name?! Diagnosis vs. Symptoms
What's in a name?! Diagnosis vs. Symptoms

Don’t let the fancy words fool you - a diagnosis is just a collection of symptoms that you’re experiencing.
And the symptoms are just a collection of inputs and outputs from brain to body.
That’s it. Nothing complex about it.
This is where our tagline of ‘find the why - fix the why’ comes into play heavily. Figuring out what the pain or limitation you’re experiencing is easy. Addressing why that’s happening is where things get a little more complex. We need to dive into your story. Potentially, your relationship with pain as well.

Should I be stretching Dynamically or Statically?!
Should I be stretching Dynamically or Statically?!

Dynamic vs Static stretching has been a battle in the sports world for many years. Some say to only do dynamic, some say to only use static, and some say to do a bit of both. And I already know your next question because I have it too, Who the heck are you supposed to listen to? Hopefully, I can shine a bit of light on that today!
