Iliotibial Band (IT Band) Syndrome

Iliotibial band syndrome occurs when there is inflammation of the flexible piece of connective tissue that extends from the knee to the hip on the outside of each leg. The IT Band is thick around the knee and hip area and when inflamed, there can be excessive rubbing against the knee, thighbone, or hip structure which can cause painful symptoms of further swelling. It is commonly caused during activities of high repetition where bending of the knee is involved. This includes running, biking, long distance walks, etc. Downhill running and exercising on uneven surfaces can exacerbate the issue.

Dr. Czerminski can help treat IT Band syndrome with chiropractic care, healthy tips on how to ease and avoid the symptoms, suggestions on how to properly stretch, as well as inform you of healthy warm-up and cool-down ideas during exercise. Aside from several decades of experience in treating all sorts of leg conditions, the doctor also uses the science behind Foot Leveler Orthotics to give you the best results possible. So if you’re feeling pain, tightness, or discomfort on the outside of your knee, thighbone, or hip – IT Band Syndrome may be the culprit. Dr. Czerminski will be happy to discuss treatment options at your next scheduled appointment.
