I think as you've already found there is no magic bullet for this although the patt-strap did/does help me considerably ... my pain though is where the band...
Hello group.........I have been dealing with ITBS for over 1 year. I have had shots, pt, active release, graston, ultra sound , custom inserts and I bought a...
I felt better after the cortisone injections but the ITBS came back when I ran more. I would go slow but if you can run pain free 6 weeks after the injection...
I think your plan makes sense but with ITBS you never know what will happen until you try running again. Running the mileage necessary for a spring marathon...
Over-use of cortisone can thin the tissues. that's why they don't like to do it too many times in one spot. Also be warned -- if you ever take cortisone...
My PT showed me how to do shallow-to-deep tissue massage around the knee by using a pencil eraser and massage cream. It's great! You can go really deep in...

Marty, You are right; most medical doctors know didly squat about ITBS. I would only go to an MD who was known in the running community. Most ITBS will ...
Paul, I am so glad that you found a way to treat your itbs successfully. I know that it is a great feeling to be able to run again after suffering with this. I...
And that's been the routine, an adjustment every 2-3 years for me ... I don't understand two things: 1) Why do you need to have an adjustment every couple of...

I guess it works for some & not for others. When I went to that one chiro, it was because I had hurt my spine at about T4 & the pain wasn't going away &...
I'm highly educated & prefer logically based science, sometimes to a fault, but I became a believer in chiropractic through personal experience (against my...
