Acupuncture for IT band pain
The runner's nemesis — sharp outer-knee pain that flares at a set distance. We release the band and the muscles that tension it.
Iliotibial band syndrome is an overuse injury of the thick band running along the outside of the thigh from hip to knee. It's the classic runner's complaint: sharp outer-knee pain that flares at a predictable point in a run.
The band itself can't stretch much — the tension comes from the hip and thigh muscles above it. We treat those, plus the irritated tissue at the knee.
Symptoms we treat
If any of these sound like your experience, acupuncture is worth a conversation. This isn't a diagnosis — your first visit is.
Why acupuncture works here
Three layers at once — local, segmental, and central — chosen for what your body is asking for.
From first visit to plan
Every patient gets the same unhurried four-beat rhythm — the first visit includes a complimentary consultation.
