Treatments for Hip/ Knee/ Ankle Pain and Injuries

​Hip Pain/Injuries

The hip joint is a ball and socket joint, which means it has different planes of movements, it is a weight- bearing joint and helps us to move and bend and do a variety of movements.
Since it  is a weight- bearing joint,  it suffers from wear and tear more than other joints in the body, and it is prone to  certain injuries.

Pain in the hip joint can have many possible causes, from  sport injuries, Osteoarthritis, referred pain from the pelvic or back, sciatica nerve irritation.

Our body is all connected, low back , pelvic, knee  or ankle pain can affect the hip joint and contribute to pain, although other areas in the body could affect the hip joint, like visceral  organs in the abdomen and pelvic area.
For  hip pain that does not go away, consultation with a medical doctor is recommend to rule out any serious  pathological condition affecting the hip joint.

Osteopathy ,Acupuncture, and Massage therapy are effective treatment for pain relief and  releasing tension and discomfort in the hip joint, relieving nerve irritation, and reducing inflammation.
 
Knee Pain/Injuries

The knee joint is a weight- bearing joint, it is susceptible to injuries, due to constant pressure in the ligaments, tendons , and nerves surrounding the joint, it is commonly  injured in physical sports.  It  is prone for development of osteoarthritis due to wear and tear, excess weight and history of knee injuries or fractures.

Pain can be localized to the knee joint but more commonly it also  affects nearby muscles and soft tissues in the area;  Pain in the knee can also have its root in distant areas like pelvic, hip  or ankle.  The joint is composed of different ligaments, and tendons, the more common structures injured are the medial meniscus , lateral or medial collateral ligaments during falls, twist or sport injuries.  Nerves surrounding the knee joint can also become inflammed.

​Osteopathy and Acupuncture are effective treatments to release tension in tissues surrounding the knee joint,  rebalance ligaments  injured in the joint, reduce inflammation ,for pain relief and recovery.

Ankle Pain/Injuries

​The Ankle joint is prone to injuries with falls, sports, mis-step, twist, jumping, it has many ligaments and tendons attached to the joint. The ankle joint is more commonly injured on the lateral side.

It  can be affected by  foot structures, but also from knee and hip areas, it has a tendency for developing of Osteoarthritis after fractures, or sprains, due to being a weight- bearing joint.   It can also be affected by being overweight, tendinitis and bursitis can develop due to irritation and repetitive movements. Severe constant pain with inflammation could be due to fractures, so consultation with your medical doctor is recommended.

​Osteopathy and Acupuncture are effective treatments for pain relief, and recovery. They address the ligaments injured by stabilizing them in the ankle joint and reducing inflammation, and speeding the healing  process to recovery.
