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!

My Role as Your Chiropractor
My Role as Your Chiropractor

Don’t Chiropractors just crack your back?!
There’s so much more to it than that.
The way I see it, my main focus as a chiropractor is to get you feeling better. Bottom line. If I at least do that, I am doing my job.
This means going beyond the simple adjustments. It means working the muscles, ligaments, blood flow, motor control and corrective exercise individually designed to get you to your specific goals.

Could an MRI for Low Back Pain actually HURT us more?!
Could an MRI for Low Back Pain actually HURT us more?!

Research has proposed that if an individual with low back pain gets diagnostic imaging (such as MRI) without any explanation of normal vs. abnormal findings FIRST - their perceived outcome of recovery is drastically diminished.

HalloWEEK in Beautiful Excelsior Minnesota!
HalloWEEK in Beautiful Excelsior Minnesota!

With fall apparently already in our rear-view mirror and winter already upon us, it’s an important reminder to stay active even as the colder weather hits us. A few quick ideas to keep moving are..

  1. Set a timer on your phone to get up every hour and do 5-10 squats or lunges. You’d be surprised how many this will add up to every day for a week!

  2. While the coffee is brewing in the morning, take a few minutes to breathe through your diaphragm and deep core consciously.

  3. It’s still nice enough for a walk! Even if that means in your living room. Get up and walk/march/skip - it’s a fun activity to include the kids too!

  4. If you have to shovel that beloved snow.. remember to take mini breaks and make it a fun workout. Try to work as hard as you can for 1 minute and then take 2 minutes off as ‘rest.’ Rinse and repeat for time!
