Hip and Knee Pain


The causes of hip and knee pain are wide and varied. The NHS states that, hip pain could be caused by a sudden injury, joint hip fracture, bursitis, ‘snapping hip syndrome’ – to name a few or a more chronic condition such as arthritis. Knee pain could be a result of tendonitis, bursitis, a torn/stressed ligament or fascia, osteoarthritis, or a rheumatological condition.

The foot, knee and hip are thought of as a ‘closed chain’, so what affects one, will affect the other. Osteopathy can help in evaluating to what extent the cause of the pain are inter-related.  A study in 2018 concluded that osteopathic techniques can be used to complement conventional treatment of pain in the knee by improving function and relieving pain.

Treatment may include gentle osteopathic techniques and/or laser therapy.
