Common Causes of Hip & Knee Pain
Hip and knee discomfort can arise from a single traumatic moment—or from years of subtle wear‑and‑tear. Pinpointing the culprit is step one to choosing the right treatment. Below are the issues we most often see at Bromley & Chislehurst Chiropractic Clinic:
| Cause | How It Develops | Telltale Signs |
|---|---|---|
| Osteoarthritis | Cartilage gradually thins with age or repeated stress, allowing bone to rub on bone. | Morning stiffness, deep ache after walking, creaking or “grinding” sensations. |
| Bursitis | Small fluid‑filled sacs around the joint become inflamed—often from prolonged kneeling, running or a sudden fall. | Localised swelling, sharp pain when you press on the side of the hip or front of the knee. |
| Tendinitis / Tendinopathy | Overuse or biomechanical imbalance irritates the tendons of the quadriceps, hamstrings or gluteal muscles. | Pin‑point tenderness at the tendon’s attachment, pain that worsens with uphill walking or stairs. |
| Ligament or Meniscus Injury | Twists, pivots or high‑impact sports strain knee ligaments (ACL, MCL) or tear the meniscus cartilage. | Immediate swelling, catching or “giving‑way” sensations, sharp pain on rotation. |
| Iliotibial Band (ITB) Syndrome | The fibrous band running from hip to knee tightens through repetitive running or cycling. | Outer‑knee or lateral‑thigh pain that flares after mileage or downhill sections. |
| Hip Impingement (FAI) | Abnormal bone shape causes the femur and acetabulum to pinch soft tissue during deep flexion. | Groin pain when sitting low, clicking in the hip, limited range on squats. |
| Referred or Radicular Pain | Nerve irritation in the lower back or sacroiliac joint sends pain into the hip or knee. | Dull ache or electric‑like pain that travels down the thigh, often paired with back stiffness. |
| Postural & Muscle Imbalances | Weak glutes, tight hip flexors and collapsed foot arches alter joint mechanics over time. | Aches that worsen after long sitting or standing, visible pelvic tilt or knee valgus (“knock‑knee”). |
By identifying which tissues are irritated and why, our chiropractors can target treatment—whether that’s precise hip or lumbar adjustments, soft‑tissue release, gait correction or glute‑strength drills—to deliver lasting, drug‑free relief. If any of these causes sound familiar, schedule a consultation and let’s get your joints moving freely again.
Chiropractic Solutions for Hip & Knee Pain
Instead of masking discomfort with painkillers, our chiropractors correct the mechanical faults that overload your lower‑body joints. A bespoke plan at Bromley & Chislehurst Chiropractic Clinic may combine:
Pelvic & Lumbar Adjustments – Gentle, precise corrections restore symmetry through the pelvis and lower spine, ensuring weight is distributed evenly into each hip and knee.
Extremity Mobilisation – Targeted movements free stiff hip capsules and knee joints, improving glide and reducing the “catch” you feel when walking or squatting.
Soft‑Tissue Release – Deep‑tissue massage, active release and instrument‑assisted techniques loosen tight hip flexors, ITB, glutes and quadriceps that tug painfully on the joints.
Gait & Foot Mechanics Analysis – We assess stride, arch support and footwear; custom orthotics or simple shoe changes often off‑load stressed knees and hips.
Strength & Stability Drills – Progressive exercises fire up glutes, hamstrings and core muscles, creating dynamic support so joints move with less strain.
Lifestyle & Ergonomic Guidance – Advice on workstation height, car‑seat set‑up, sleep positions and recovery routines keeps your lower body aligned outside the clinic.
By addressing joint alignment, muscle balance and movement patterns together, our chiropractic approach delivers long‑lasting relief—helping you climb stairs, cycle, run or simply stroll Bromley’s High Street pain‑free.
Rehabilitation Strength Programme
Our team creates an individualised exercise plan that reinforces the muscles stabilising your hips and knees, giving each joint the support it needs and lowering re‑injury risk. Every routine blends flexibility drills, controlled mobility work and progressive strength loading to speed healing and deliver lasting results.
Mobility & Stretch Routine
Restricted tissue length and joint stiffness often fuel pain. We prescribe precise stretching sequences that unlock hip and knee range of motion, enhance suppleness and make everyday movement feel easier.
Posture & Gait Assessment
Subtle alignment faults or an inefficient stride can overload the hip–knee complex. Through video analysis and posture mapping, our chiropractors identify imbalances and provide simple adjustments to stance, walking pattern and footwear, easing pressure on vulnerable joints.
How Chiropractic Restores Pain‑Free Hips & Knees
Chiropractic addresses the mechanical faults that overload lower‑body joints, delivering relief that painkillers and generic exercises often miss. By restoring proper alignment and muscle balance, we cut the strain at its source—so pain eases naturally and mobility returns.
Pelvic & Spinal Alignment – Precise adjustments level the pelvis and optimise lumbar movement, ensuring weight flows evenly into both hips and knees instead of hammering one side.
Joint Mobility Restoration – Gentle hip and knee mobilisations improve cartilage nutrition and “glide,” reducing the catching and grinding that make every step uncomfortable.
Muscle Balance & Activation – Targeted soft‑tissue release plus glute, quad and hamstring re‑training correct strength imbalances that pull joints out of position.
Gait & Posture Optimisation – Video gait analysis and posture coaching remove hidden stresses—like foot over‑pronation or forward‑tilted pelvis—that quietly wear down joint surfaces.
Inflammation Reduction Without Drugs – By decreasing mechanical irritation and improving circulation, chiropractic care lowers local inflammation naturally, sparing you long‑term reliance on NSAIDs.
The upshot: smoother movement, stronger support and lasting pain relief—so you can climb stairs, cycle or simply walk the High Street without a second thought.
Key Advantages of Chiropractic Care for Hip & Knee Pain
Chiropractic care delivers several standout benefits for hip and knee pain sufferers:
Pain Reduction: Precise adjustments and soft‑tissue therapy lessen discomfort by restoring joint mechanics and calming inflammation.
Enhanced Mobility: Consistent care unlocks stiff joints, making everyday movements smoother and more comfortable.
Injury Prevention: Strength training, posture tuning and mobility drills fortify the joints, helping ward off repeat issues.
