Hip Pain & Injury Treatment


Hip injuries and knee pain are very common and can have many causes:
- traumatic (eg sports injury)
- wear & tear (eg arthrosis)
- muscle weakness
- muscle tightness
- overuse
- biomechanical dysfunction
Therefore it is essential to make a correct diagnosis of the underlying cause in order to provide appropriate treatment for an optimal recovery. Injuries may affect muscles, ligaments, meniscus, cartilage or bones. Most commonly the pain is localized around the injured area and can be felt during activity, after activity or constantly. Many injuries can be treated conservatively with physiotherapy. However, with more severe injuries surgery may be necessary. In this case the patient will need post-surgical rehabilitation.
