Hip Pain Treatment
Hip pain can be an extremely debilitating, yet common condition that can affect people of all ages.
Having any type of pain in the hip can make it difficult to perform basic daily activities such as walking, standing, or sitting for long periods of time and can be caused by a number of factors such as sports injury, overuse, arthritis, age-related changes or even a sedentary lifestyle. In some cases, it can even be caused by issues in other parts of the body, such as the groin or lower back.
How can osteopathy help?
Osteopathy focuses on restoring the body’s natural balance and function using safe and effective hands on techniques.
At Chelmsford Osteopathy Clinic, we can help identify the underlying cause that may be contributing to your hip pain. A typical initial appointment will often involve taking a full medical case history and physical examination with specific tests to help determine which structures in or around the hip are the source of your discomfort. If there are any concerns, we may refer you for imaging, such as X-rays or MRI scans.
Once the issue has been identified, we can develop a treatment plan that addresses your individual needs and goals which may include manual therapy techniques, such as soft tissue massage and joint mobilisation which will increase hip mobility and help you achieve a more pain-free, functional lifestyle.
In addition to osteopathic treatment, we can offer lifestyle and exercise advice to help strengthen the muscles and help manage your symptoms.
