IT Band Syndrome Treatment in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Vernon & Lake Country

If you’re experiencing pain on the outer side of your knee or thigh, especially during activity, you may be dealing with IT Band Syndrome. Shockwave treatment offers a non-invasive, effective treatment that targets the root cause and restores mobility — without medication or injections.

What Is IT Band Syndrome?

Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) is a common overuse injury caused by irritation where the IT band rubs against the outer part of the knee. It’s especially common in runners, cyclists, and those with tight or imbalanced hip and thigh muscles.

Symptoms typically include:

• Sharp or burning pain on the outer side of the knee
• Pain that worsens with running, climbing stairs, or prolonged activity
• Tightness or tenderness along the outer thigh
• Swelling near the knee (in some cases)

How Shockwave Treatment Helps

Shockwave treatment uses high-energy sound waves to treat the inflamed tissues along the IT band. It helps:

• Break down chronic inflammation and fibrotic tissue
• Improve circulation and tissue healing
• Reduce pain and restore normal movement patterns
• Stimulate the release of trigger points in surrounding muscles

Benefits of Shockwave Treatment for IT Band Syndrome

• Non-surgical and medication-free
• No downtime — return to light activity quickly
• Highly effective for chronic or stubborn cases
• Results often felt after 3–5 sessions

Who Can Benefit?

• Have had lateral knee or thigh pain for over 4 weeks
• Haven’t found relief through foam rolling, stretching, or rest
