Diagnosis
A doctor can diagnose IT band syndrome by looking at the symptoms and your health history. In addition, a physical exam is needed to find out any unusual signs. This might involve several forms of body assessment like doing some exercises to show movement patterns, stability, and strength. In addition, he or she might need to evaluate the tightness of your IT band and the alignment of the pelvis. In more serious cases, some imaging procedures like an MRI scan, X-ray, or ultrasound are needed. [6]
