What is IT Band Syndrome? How can Sports Chiropractic Care help?
What is IT Band Syndrome? How can Sports Chiropractic Care help?

The iliotibial (IT) band is a thick band of connective tissue that runs from the hip, along the outside of the thigh, and attaches just below the knee. When the muscles that attach to this band (Glute Min and Tensor Fascia Latae) become tight or overused, it can rub against the outer knee and/or hip, causing inflammation and pain. When the IT band thickens or tightens, it places extra pressure on the knee bursa, leading to swelling, irritation, and pain—especially during running, cycling, or prolonged walking. Our goal with treatment and rehabilitation exercises is to restore the muscle balance necessary in order to decrease the tension of the soft tissues and therefore reduce the friction across the knee or hip. In other words, addressing the root cause and not just covering up symptoms!

Can Chiropractic Care treat Plantar Fasciitis?
Can Chiropractic Care treat Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis occurs when tiny tears develop in the connective tissue (called the plantar fascia) along the bottom of the foot. This often leads to sharp, stabbing pain in the heel—especially first thing in the morning or after long periods of standing or walking.

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common and frustrating causes of foot pain—especially for runners, walkers, and active individuals in the Lake Minnetonka area. At Minnesota Movement Sports Chiropractic in Excelsior, we go beyond simply treating symptoms. We help you uncover the real cause of your plantar fasciitis so you can move pain-free again for the long term. Not just relief - RESULTS.

I vowed to never do this again but.. I’m running another Marathon!
I vowed to never do this again but.. I’m running another Marathon!

I am going to run the Twin Cities Marathon this upcoming October.

Why? Because so many people are telling me not to. And I’m stubborn.

For every person telling me not to, there are 3.3 people telling me I should and cheering me on (I took a poll on Instagram so these numbers are accurate), so it’s not all negative reinforcement happening. 

But why are people telling me that I shouldn’t run this marathon?! Or what are some common reasons people are against running? And why are their reasons all wrong?

Creatine / What is it? Who should take it? Why should we take it?
Creatine / What is it? Who should take it? Why should we take it?

Creatine, in the most basic explanation possible, is a native molecule that provides energy to muscles so that they can contract/flex/engage. It comes from amino acids (building blocks of protein) which means you can get it through diet as well as your body producing a certain amount of it for you. There are numerous citations that claim that we do not currently get enough in our diet (average American Diet) which is where supplementation with Creatine Monohydrate comes into play.
