What is Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint condition that causes:
- Pain: In the knees, hips, or other joints, especially during movement.
- Stiffness: Particularly after periods of inactivity (e.g., morning stiffness).
- Swelling and Inflammation: Around the affected joint.
- Reduced Mobility: Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or performing daily activities.
Common Causes:
- Aging and wear-and-tear on joints.
- Previous injuries or overuse (e.g., sports, manual labor).
- Obesity, which increases stress on weight-bearing joints.
Our Approach to Osteoarthritis Knee/Hip Pain Relief
1. Osteopathic Assessment and Treatment
Our osteopaths use hands-on techniques to:
- Relieve pain and improve joint mobility.
- Address biomechanical imbalances in the hips, knees, and spine.
- Provide guidance on posture, weight management, and lifestyle modifications.
2. Focused Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)
ESWT is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to:
- Stimulate healing in damaged tissues.
- Reduce pain and inflammation.
- Improve blood flow to the affected joint.
Conditions Treated with ESWT:
- Osteoarthritis of the knee or hip.
- Chronic joint pain and stiffness.
3. Sports Therapy Modalities
We use advanced modalities to manage pain and improve function, including:
- Infrared/Far Infrared Therapy: Promotes tissue healing and reduces inflammation.
- Electrotherapy (TENS/EMS): Relieves pain and strengthens surrounding muscles.
- Heat Therapy: Eases stiffness and improves joint flexibility.
4. Tailored Rehabilitation Exercises
Our rehab programs are designed to:
- Strengthen the muscles supporting the knee and hip joints.
- Improve flexibility and range of motion.
- Include low-impact exercises (e.g., swimming, cycling) to protect joints.
- Focus on weight management to reduce stress on joints.
Effectiveness and Recovery Rates

- Improved Mobility: Gradual improvement in joint function and flexibility over 8-12 weeks.
