Could Your Lateral Knee, Hip Or Thigh Pain Be It-Band Syndrome?

IT-Band Syndrome: What is it and how can one prevent and treat it?

Over-pronation may cause pain on the lateral (outer) side of the knee, lateral thigh, or lateral hip.  This pain may be IT Band Syndrome.  The degree of discomfort can range from a dull aching to a sharp stabbing pain, and it is usually not localized but covers a large area.

Treatment covers the 3 S’s - Stretching, Strengthening and Supporting, along with ice and rest have been found to be the simplest and most effective treatment for these types of injuries.  A dedicated exercise regimine provides strengthening and stretching while support comes from a quality, proper fitting Orthotic Arch Support.

Stretching of the IT-Band, hamstring, piriformis and quad, and supporting the foot with proper fitting shoes and quality insoles can prevent or help to eliminate the vast majority of stresses on the lower extremity. Wearing a high quality Orthotic Arch Support will help to balance and stabilize the foot to prevent over-pronation. Top brand names in Orthotic Arch Supports are Spenco, Superfeet Premium Insoles, Sof Sole Performance Insoles, and Sole Custom Foot Beds. Some Insoles/Orthotics are designed to offer both Orthotic Arch Support and Cushioning for the entire feet. The Spenco’s Polysorb Total Support Insoles are excellent in offering both cushioning for the heel and ball of foot areas while also giving  the Arch Support necessary to relieve pain associated with over-pronation.

One of the easiest and most effective solutions is to add a simple over the counter Spenco cushioning insole that provides a forgiving support for both the arch and heel.
