Hip and Knee Pain Relief

Comprehensive Relief for Hip and Knee Pain: Unlocking Comfort with Physiotherapy, Chiropractic Care, and Massage Therapy

Kick Your Pain to the Curb – Find Relief for Hip and Knee Discomfort

Do sharp pains in your hip make it difficult to get up in the mornings, move about during the day, and lie back down at night? Are your knees feeling painful, or even as if they may buckle underneath you without warning? Hip joint pain and knee pain can seriously interfere with your life, especially if you are dealing with both. Whichever may be hurting you, physiotherapy, chiropractic care, and massage therapy can help get to the root of your problem safely and comfortably, without the need for harmful drugs or surgery.

Why Do I Have Hip Joint Pain and/or Knee Pain?

Hip and knee pains can be experienced together or separately, but it is important to note that as the old saying goes, your knee bone is connected to your hip bone, therefore what happens with one, affects the other. Your hip is a ball-and-socket joint that works to support the weight of your upper body, relying on multiple muscles and tissues to keep it mobile and stable so it can function properly. Your knee is a hinge joint, confined to forward-and-backward motions. Individually, your knees support more weight than the hips, 6 times your body weight when doing a squat. Proper movement of both your hip and knees allows complicated motions giving you the ability to stand, walk, run, and dance without falling over.

Pain felt in the hips and/or knees may originate in the joints themselves, but it may also be a result of an underlying condition in another part of the body. For example, your hips and knees are part of the same kinetic chain, meaning they make up a combination of weight-bearing joints that must function together in harmony in order for your body and posture to function properly. Therefore, a problem with your knee joint may transmit abnormal forces to your hips, and vice versa. If one part of the kinetic chain is out of balance, stress and deterioration may be placed on another.

What Causes Hip and Knee Pain?

Many times, the hips and knees suffer the same diseases, disorders, and injuries. For example, overuse injuries such as tendinitis and chronic muscle strain are common in both the hips and knees because both joints are constantly in use. They are also both subject to acute injuries, such as sprains, strains, and dislocation.

Hip and knee pain can also be affected by referred pain from a pinched sciatic nerve, as the nerve travels through both areas. Imbalances in your stance or gait may cause abnormal stresses and premature wear-and-tear in your hips and knees, resulting in painful symptoms or arthritis.

Some painful conditions may be specific to one joint or the other. Cartilage injuries known as labral tears are specific to hip pain, while inflammation of the bursa sacs known as bursitis is a specific condition affecting the knee joint. However, painful injuries that cause instability in the hips can also affect the knees. Tight hip flexor muscles and weak gluteus medius muscles can cause the hip to rotate inward without you realizing it. This can cause painful problems such as iliotibial band friction syndrome or patellofemoral stress syndrome, as stress is put on the knee or kneecap.

How Will Physiotherapy, Chiropractic Care, and Massage Therapy Relieve My Hip and Knee Pain?

The treatments at MEX Physio can help to greatly reduce your hip and knee pain. In many cases, it can even relieve it altogether, sparing you the need for potentially harmful medication or surgical correction. Our Milton, Oakville, Burlington, ON physiotherapist, chiropractor, or massage therapist will examine your hip and/or knee for signs of misalignment or structural damage, in addition to examining your stance, posture, gait, and range of motion. After your physical exam is complete, our specialists will prescribe a comprehensive treatment plan for you, aimed at relieving unnatural stresses and strains, and normalizing your joint function.

You will be given targeted exercises designed for relieving joint pain and stabilizing weak hip and/or knee tissues. The exercises may vary depending on your condition; for example, research has demonstrated that those suffering from patella pain (kneecap pain) tend to respond better to exercises that focus on strengthening both the hips and knees, rather than just focusing on the knees alone.

You may also receive chiropractic adjustments to correct misalignments and improve joint function. Additionally, massage therapy can help to reduce muscle tension and improve circulation in the affected areas, promoting faster healing and pain relief.

It is time to take a stand against your hip and knee pain. Contact MEX Physio in Milton, Oakville, Burlington, ON today to speak with one of our dedicated specialists and get started on the path toward long-lasting pain relief. Your hips and knees will be glad you did!

I went to MEX Physio as I was experiencing some pain in my lower back. After just one session, I was impressed with Gaya. What I find most valuable is her approach to treatment, which is to address the root cause of the problem and not just the symptoms.It has been three sessions and I cannot believe the flexibility and mobility I have gained. She has earned a customer for life!

My 13-year-old son recently injured his knee, and we were fortunate to have Shiv Shankar as his physiotherapist. From the very first session, it was clear how caring, patient, and dedicated Shiv is. He took the time to thoroughly understand my son’s condition and tailored a treatment plan that was both effective and manageable.Shiv’s approach was not only professional but also incredibly supportive. He ensured my son felt comfortable and motivated throughout his recovery process. His attention to detail and genuine concern for my son’s well-being made a significant difference in his progress.We are deeply grateful for Shiv’s exceptional care and expertise. He is a wonderful human being and an outstanding physiotherapist. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of physiotherapy.
