Can dry needling fix IT Band Syndrome (ITBS)?
Runners and endurance athletes often complain of pain on the outside of the knee, known as iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS). It’s a common complaint of athletes, and those new to exercise.
Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is a common leading cause of lateral, or outside, knee pain. A 2021 study found that dry needling could remarkably lead to an improvement in pain and function among patients resenting from iliotibial band syndrome, or IT band pain (Razie, 2021).
Dry needling can help your tight IT band and knee pain by releasing tight muscles that surround the leg, hip and knee.
