If your hip aches in the groin, outer thigh, or deep buttock especially when walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from a chair osteopathic treatment can help. Hip pain is one of the more complex presentations we see, because the hip joint and the structures around it are connected to both the lumbar spine and the lower limb. Pain felt in the hip or groin can originate from the hip joint itself, the surrounding muscles and bursae, the sacroiliac joint, or be referred from the lower back.

What causes hip pain?

Common causes include hip osteoarthritis, trochanteric bursitis (outer hip pain), hip flexor strains, femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI), labral tears, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, and referred pain from the lumbar spine. Identifying which structure is responsible is essential to treating it effectively.

Osteopathic treatment for hip pain South London

We start with a comprehensive assessment of hip mobility, strength, and function, as well as the lumbar spine and pelvis. Treatment typically combines soft tissue work, joint mobilisation, targeted strengthening exercises, and for bursitis shockwave therapy where appropriate.

We also have access to rehabilitation hydrotherapy at our Sutton clinic, which can be particularly valuable for hip pain where weight-bearing land exercise is too painful.
