Expert Iliotibial Band Treatment
At The Foot Practice, we understand the impact that an injured or strained iliotibial (IT) band can have on your daily life. Our podiatrists are experienced in diagnosing and treating IT band issues, utilizing advanced techniques to ensure effective treatment and lasting relief.
Understanding the Iliotibial Band
The iliotibial band is a thick band of connective tissue that runs along the outside of the thigh, extending from the hip to the knee. It plays a crucial role in stabilizing the knee joint during physical activities such as running, walking, and cycling.
Common IT Band Issues
IT band issues are often caused by overuse, improper technique, or underlying biomechanical imbalances. Common symptoms include pain on the outside of the knee, swelling, and discomfort during movement.
Customized Treatment Plans
At The Foot Practice, our podiatrists perform a thorough evaluation to identify the root cause of your IT band problems. With this knowledge, we tailor a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and goals.
1. Physical Therapy
In many cases, physical therapy can significantly alleviate IT band pain and promote healing. Our skilled therapists will guide you through targeted exercises and stretches aimed at strengthening the muscles supporting your IT band and improving overall flexibility.
2. Footwear Assessment
Proper footwear plays a vital role in supporting the health of your feet and lower limbs. Our experts will conduct a detailed assessment of your current footwear to ensure it provides the necessary support and cushioning to prevent further strain on your IT band.
3. Orthotic Devices
In instances where footwear alone cannot provide sufficient support, our podiatrists may recommend orthotic devices. These custom-made inserts are designed to correct any biomechanical abnormalities, reducing stress on the IT band and promoting proper alignment.
4. Rest and Recovery
Allowing your body enough time to rest and heal is crucial for the recovery process. Our team will guide you on incorporating appropriate rest periods into your routine, ensuring a balanced approach to activity and recovery.
5. Ultrasonic Therapy
To expedite healing and provide targeted relief, The Foot Practice offers ultrasonic therapy. This non-invasive treatment modality utilizes high-frequency sound waves to stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue repair.
