Treatment for Iliotibial band syndrome in Augusta GA
By most estimates, nearly 70 percent of runners will become injured. While many of their injuries will appear minor, they can become more serious over time if not properly treated. This is one condition that often responds well to chiropractic treatment because of the relationship between the pelvis and the muscles that attach to the pelvis. If someone has faulty pelvic mechanics then the muscles that attach to the pelvis will not work as efficiently.
What Causes ITBS?
One potential cause of Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) relates to ergonomic issues in running and biking. This can include, for example, prolonged running on cantered surfaces such as the side of the road (the left leg is usually affected when running against traffic.) Excessive running on a track can create asymmetrical forces in the lower extremities, because you are always running (and slightly leaning) in the same counter-clockwise direction around the curves. On the bike, two common issues are riding in clipless pedals that force the foot to toe-in (more of a problem with older-style pedals that don’t float) and/or an improper seat height.
What Can Be Done To Treat ITBS?
For chiropractic in Augusta GA, Georgia Clinic of Chiropractic has had great success treating athletes for soft tissue disorders, such as ITBS. Through specific muscle work and condition-specific adjustments, we have been able to get athletes back into competitive shape for training and competitions. Our athlete-specific treatments address the inflammation behind the condition, as well as the soft-tissue injury, followed by addressing structural issues through adjustments. In addition, the same factors that cause ITBS will also frequently cause other issues, particularly tight hip flexors and sacro-iliac joint dysfunction. All related problem areas are integrated into the treatment to ensure maximum recovery.
