Illiotibial Band Syndrome
IT Band pain can present with pain on the outside of the lower leg and knee and often affects runners putting on high mileage. IT Band dysfunction is usually due to tight and weak hip musculature. Improper gait biomechanics can also contribute to this condition.
In Rochester, Skare Spine and Performance will utilize soft-tissue work, proper hip strengthening, and muscle activation, to treat this condition.
What our patients say
“I scheduled my first appointment with Dr. Skare to treat hip and back issues that resulted from wearing a boot for four months after breaking a bone in my foot. Not only has his treatments helped my back and hip, but (unexpectantly) also my knee, as he diagnosed the cause of my chronic knee pain that I have had for a long time. He gave me exercises to do at home. He is very thorough and caring. I like Dr. Skare’s holistic approach to treating his patients, not only with chiropractic but soft-tissue release, acupuncture and functional rehab. Techniques.”

“My daughter and I have been going to Dr. Nate Skare for a few months. He really helped me to get back to 100% after suffering from knee pain that made it hard to even walk or climb stairs. I am now pain and limitation free.
My 12 year old has Osgood-Schlatter disease and we were told there is nothing to help other than PT (which we tried), pain relievers (which we tried), and rest (which is heartbreaking for an athlete). His work with her has not only alleviated her pain but helped her to improve as an athlete and stay in the game.
He is the best at what he does, is easy to work with, and reasonably priced. I HIGHLY recommend!”
-Tiffinee Swanson, Rochester, MN
“I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Nate at Skare Spine. I have been going to Dr. Nate for over a year now. He has successfully treated me for shoulder, back, knee, hip pain and plantar fasciitis. He truly listens and cares about the health and well being of his patients. No quick whack and crack here! Dr. Nate incorporates PT, stretching and strengthening into his treatments. He also gives exercises to do at home for continued healing. Also, very easy to get an appt when needed. I am so thankful I found out about Dr. Nate and Skare Spine.”
-Jane Lindahl, Rochester, MN
“Dr. Nate is great! He uses both chiropractic practices and more physical therapy to help with pains. He has helped me with pain in my neck and knee and with a few short visits I was able to be pain free. He is understanding and works with you in visits and gives you exercises to help when you are out not with him and having pain. He has a lot of knowledge on treating his patients from multiple perspectives. Dry needling, PT and chiropractic techniques were all used to help me. I would recommend him to anyone because of his unique techniques of not just chiropractic but also exercises. He helped me not only heal what was hurting, but strengthen other muscles to prevent further injury.”
