Recently a handful of patients are coming in with symptoms along their iliotibial bands. This is the area just below where the femur inserts into the pelvis, on the outside of your upper thigh. This is a common area of complaint for runners and luckily there are a few things that help this condition. It is of utmost importance to stretch before AND after your workout. There are also multiple “tools” you can use including hand-held massage sticks, foam rolls, and massage therapy. Chiropractic care will also look to see if there are postural imbalances or hip joint malfunction that may be over-stressing the soft tissue in the area.

If pain is holding you back from running, call The Winchester Institute in Dublin, Ohio at 614-760-5555 or visit us on the web at www.thewinchesterinstitute.com to set up a free consultation with one of our doctors.

Jumping incorrectly, especially if you are a female, can lead to long term complications. The “Unhappy Triad” as it is called, is a common problem, particularly in females that jump as part of their sport of choice. Luckily, proper jumping technique can reduce your chance of injury.

Many of these injuries can be prevented through proper biomechanics. If you’ve had a prior knee injury, or are unsure if you biomechanics are correct, contact The Winchester Institute at 614-760-5555 or www.thewinchesterinstitute.com so that one of our rehab specialists may evaluate your jump and help prevent future injuries.
