What Is IT Band Syndrome?

The iliotibial band is a ligament that runs down the outside of your leg. It originates in the hip and runs all the way down to the shin, passing the knee on the way. The band stretches tight to the bone when it passes over the knee, so repeated motion may aggravate it and cause IT Band Syndrome, which is when this ligament gets strained or injured is.

This results from the repeated inward turning of the leg over time, and as such can happen for any number of reasons. However, the most common of these include always running the same direction on a track (which are often graded), running downhill or running on banked surfaces. If you want to heal IT Band Syndrome and avoid recurrences, it’s time to see a sports chiropractor.
