Pelvis and hips.
Pain from hip osteoarthritis can be reduced with a combination of osteopathy, exercises and medical management through your GP. Hip pain may relate to an issue lower down your legs in the knee, ankle, or foot which is causing you to walk differently to normal. Hip pain may also be referred from your back; it might be due to the way you move or particular activities you regularly engage in such as sports or long periods of sitting down.
Knees, ankles and feet.
Pain from knee osteoarthritis can be reduced with a combination of osteopathy, exercises and management through your GP.
Knees, although a large weight bearing joint, are very frequently injured. Vulnerable areas of your knee include the ligaments, cartilage and the surrounding support muscles. A problem in any of these structures can cause pain in and around the knee.
Foot and ankle pain can be due to a single incident such as rolling over on your ankle or a strain which develops over time due to repeated wear and tear. Both causes can lead to a feeling of weakness, tightness, aching or nervy pain in the foot and ankle. Osteopaths work to reduce the pain and the cause of the pain.
