Osteopathy in the treatment

• By increasing blood flow and encouraging your
  body to repair itself, osteopathy can help
  relieve shoulder, hip, and knee ailments. As well
  as checking your muscles and joints, we are able
  to diagnose the cause of your pain and design a
  treatment plan that is tailored to suit your
  needs.

Inflammation of the hip

• Different people experience hip pain in different
  ways. An outer lower back or buttock pain, as
  well as pain in the groin, is usually described
  by this generic term. A number of conditions can
  cause hip pain, many of which do not directly
  affect the hip joint itself. There are numerous
  causes of hip osteoarthritis, including ligament
  sprains, referred pain from the sacro-iliac
  joint, pelvic girdle pain, trochanteric bursitis,
  imbalances, strains, and muscle tightness.

Inflammation of the knee

• Sometimes, knee pain is attributed to problems
  occurring in the knee joint itself, but it is
  more often caused by problems in the lower back
  or hip. These conditions include ligament
  sprains, referred pain from the hip or lower
  back, bursitis, patella tendinopathy, imbalances,
  strains or tight muscles, and osteoarthritis of
  the knee.

What are the benefits of osteopathy for knee pain?

• The cause of a great deal of knee pain may not
  necessarily be the knee itself. Many hip problems
  refer pain to the knee area on the same side.
  Back problems, particularly problems with your
  sacroiliac joint (the joint between your spine
  and your pelvis), are commonly associated with
  pain in the groin, thigh, and knee areas.
• Registered Osteopaths like Bhavik Patel Lubbock
  are able to diagnose the cause of your pain or to
  refer you to a specialist via your general
  practitioner. A knee is supported by ligaments
  and muscles and consists of the thigh bone
  (femur) sitting on top of the two leg bones
  (tibia and fibula).

What are the benefits of osteopathy for knee pain?

• When ligaments are strained as a result of a
  twist or fall, the knee becomes unstable, which
  can result in further gait issues. During a
  deeper injury or degeneration, cartilage/meniscus
  can be damaged (these are the knee's
  shock-absorbing components). As a result, you
  will normally require either an X-ray or an
  arthroscopy (a probe inserted under the skin by a
  surgeon), but your Osteopath can provide you with
  advice on whether you should undergo either
  procedure.
• There are many strains and sprains, ligament
  problems, and muscle imbalances that can be
  treated with osteopathy. Identifying the
  underlying causes will involve taking into
  account postural issues, leg length issues, or
  previous injuries to the foot or ankle that have
  not yet been addressed.
• If the joints are not moving properly, we will
  massage and stretch them, manipulate some of the
  joints and provide extensive advice on how to
  manage the problem.
