Hip Pain Treatment in East Grinstead

Osteopathic care for lasting relief from hip, groin, and lower back pain

Hip pain can make everyday movements—like walking, sitting, or climbing stairs—painful and frustrating. At our East Grinstead osteopathy clinic, we help people of all ages recover from hip pain through hands-on treatment and personalised care.

Common Causes of Hip Pain

Hip pain may come from the joint itself or from surrounding muscles, tendons, or nerves. Common causes include:

  • Osteoarthritis or wear-and-tear in the hip joint

  • Muscle or tendon strain (e.g. gluteal or hip flexor tightness)

  • Bursitis (inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs around the joint)

  • Referred pain from the lower back or pelvis

  • Postural imbalances or uneven leg length

  • Sports injuries or repetitive strain

At Osteo Studio in East Grinstead take time to identify the true source of your pain—not just treat the symptoms.

Red Flags to Watch Out For

Most hip pain responds well to osteopathy, but in rare cases it may signal something more serious. Seek medical help if you experience:

  • Sudden inability to bear weight on the leg

  • Persistent pain at night or rest

  • Hip pain following a fall or injury

  • Fever, swelling, or redness in the joint

  • Unexplained weight loss or general fatigue

These could indicate infection, fracture, or inflammatory conditions needing urgent care.

How Osteopathy Helps Hip Pain

Our osteopathic treatment aims to restore balance, mobility, and function—without medication or invasive procedures. At our East Grinstead clinic, your treatment may include:

  • Joint mobilisation to improve hip movement

  • Soft tissue massage to reduce muscle tension

  • Pelvis and lower back alignment techniques

  • Advice on walking, posture, and footwear

  • Rehabilitation exercises tailored to your needs

We also work with GPs and specialists when further investigation is needed.
