HIP & KNEE PAIN
Many of us have experienced discomfort in our hips or knees in our lifetime and this can be a result of various causes. For some, this may be a temporary issue that resolves with rest or a change in activity, but for many, hip and knee pain can become a persistent problem that significantly impacts daily life. At Oliver’s Battery Chiropractic, we frequently help patients suffering from hip and knee injuries, guiding them on the path to recovery and a pain-free lifestyle.

Why Do We Get Hip and Knee Pain?
Hip and knee pain can arise for various reasons, ranging from acute injuries to long-term wear and tear. These issues often stem from activities that involve high impact, poor posture, or sudden trauma, such as lifting a heavy object improperly or a sports-related accident. Most of the hip and knee pain we treat at Oliver’s Battery Chiropractic is related to the joints and the muscles and tendons that support them. Symptoms can vary from dull aches to sharp, stabbing pain, often worsened by activities like walking, bending, or climbing stairs.
Common issues we treat include: Osteoarthritis (degeneration of the joint that leads to pain, stiffness, and swelling), tendonitis (inflammation of the tendons around the hip or knee, often due to overuse or repetitive motion), bursitis (inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the hip or knee joint), and patellofemoral pain syndrome (pain in the front of the knee, often caused by imbalances in the muscles around the knee joint).
In many cases, patients experience referred pain, where pain is felt in a location other than the injured site. For example, hip pain may radiate down the leg, or knee pain might be felt in the thigh or calf. There are occasionally more serious causes for hip and knee pain that need to be investigated further. Your Chiropractor will let you know if there is anything they are concerned about and make the appropriate referral in this instance.

The Role of Chiropractic in Treating Hip and Knee Pain
At Oliver’s Battery Chiropractic, we take a holistic approach to treating hip and knee pain. Our chiropractors will conduct a full assessment to identify the root causes of your pain and create a personalised treatment plan. The first step is to rule out serious conditions, such as fractures, ligament ruptures or growth plate issues, before focusing on rehabilitating the muscles, joints, and tendons involved.
Treatment may include spinal manipulation, joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, stretching, and specific exercises aimed at strengthening the muscles around the hip or knee. By targeting the root cause of the problem, we aim to reduce inflammation, improve flexibility, and restore function to the affected joint.

What to Expect from a Session with Us
When you visit our clinic in the Winchester suburb of Oliver’s Battery for an initial consultation, you can expect a detailed discussion of your symptoms, a thorough physical examination, and a personalised treatment plan. For hip and knee pain, our chiropractors will assess your range of motion, strength, and stability of the affected joint. We will also rule out any serious underlying issues and tailor our treatment approach based on your individual condition. We will generally also assess the lower back and pelvis as part of this examination as issues here can cause referral of symptoms to the hip and knee area.
What sets us apart is our commitment to patient care. We strive to create a comfortable and supportive environment for our patients, ensuring they feel at ease throughout their journey. Treatment is often provided on your first visit if clinically appropriate, and we will offer advice on improving posture, preventing further injury, and incorporating rehabilitation exercises at home.
