Runner’s Knee and Jumper’s Knee
Runner’s Knee and Jumper’s Knee

It is difficult to pinpoint the direct cause of runner’s knee. In its basic form, runner’s knee occurs when that precious cartilage under your kneecap breaks down and is worn to the point where it is no longer protective, causing pain. Or, it can happen because your gait or biomechanics are off causing uneven tracking of the patella and resulting in uneven wear and tear. You may develop it because of an injury but the biggest culprit is overuse. You will notice knee pain during even the simplest activities like using stairs, squatting, and kneeling. So for those of you who live an active lifestyle, pay close attention to your knees.

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

Can Chiropractic Care treat Plantar Fasciitis?
Can Chiropractic Care treat Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis occurs when tiny tears develop in the connective tissue (called the plantar fascia) along the bottom of the foot. This often leads to sharp, stabbing pain in the heel—especially first thing in the morning or after long periods of standing or walking.

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common and frustrating causes of foot pain—especially for runners, walkers, and active individuals in the Lake Minnetonka area. At Minnesota Movement Sports Chiropractic in Excelsior, we go beyond simply treating symptoms. We help you uncover the real cause of your plantar fasciitis so you can move pain-free again for the long term. Not just relief - RESULTS.
