Rebound Health Tens Unit – IT Band Syndrome

Not many people are aware of a powerful muscle that runs alongside your leg.  It’s called the Iliotibial band or IT for short.  It connects to your hip and knee helping you walk and run. 

Iliotibial band syndrome occurs when the IT band becomes inflamed through overuse, usually from running (hence the name ‘Runners Knee’) with improper body mechanics and/or weakness in the other muscle groups supporting the IT band. 

IT band syndrome (ITBS) symptoms include sharp, stabbing pains usually on the lateral side of the knee as you run, especially down a steep decline. If left untreated, IT band syndrome can become debilitating and may require corrective surgery.

While rest, ice, and stretching are helpful, there is a complementary relief available for ITBS in a nonprescription form. The Rebound transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(TENs) may be just the thing to alleviate your pain in two ways. First it interrupts the pain signals to the brain from the affected source. Second, it helps stimulate your natural endorphin production to allow for longer-term pain relief.  Get your relief today by clicking on the link above.
