IT Band Syndrome Treatment in Istanbul
Lateral knee pain in runners and cyclists caused by friction of the IT band over the lateral femoral epicondyle. Highly responsive to load management and physiotherapy.
Understanding IT Band Syndrome
IT Band Syndrome is a common orthopaedic condition affecting the knee. Accurate diagnosis with ultrasound or MRI guides the most appropriate treatment pathway.
At Central Ortho & Spine we provide rapid assessment, imaging, and a personalised treatment plan — from conservative care to surgical intervention when needed.
- Diagnosis confirmed by clinical examination and imaging (ultrasound/MRI)
- Most cases respond well to conservative management
- Injection therapy and physiotherapy are often the first-line treatments
- Surgical intervention reserved for refractory or structural cases
Treatment Options
Conservative Management
Rest, NSAIDs, and physiotherapy as the first-line approach for most patients.
Injection Therapy
Ultrasound-guided corticosteroid, PRP, or hyaluronic acid injection for targeted relief.
Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy for chronic tendinopathy and bursitis with good evidence.
Surgical Treatment
Aspiration, bursectomy, tendon repair, or reconstruction for refractory cases.
