Hip pain

Common conditions affecting the hip include arthritis, sciatica, trochanteric bursitis and iliotibial band syndrome. Conditions such as this are caused by biomechanical imbalances readily identified at the Centre using in-depth biomechanical assessment and gait analysis.

One common reason for hip related symptoms is the presence of a leg length discrepancy and the Centre often receives referrals where such imbalances are specifically assessed and treated. Apart from using clinical methods, the Centre also uses advanced x-ray technology to accurately measure leg length discrepancies. Treatment includes specialist orthoses and footwear modification.

Please contact the centre for more information.
