Relieve Hip and Knee Pain in Heusden
Work on supple joints and move more freely, with less pain in your hip, groin or knee
Are hip or knee complaints holding you back?
You notice hip and knee complaints with almost every movement: climbing stairs, getting out of a chair, walking or playing sports. Hip pain often sits in the groin or on the side of the hip, knee pain often around the kneecap. Both can make daily life considerably harder.
Your hips and knees form a chain with your pelvis and lower back. When the pelvis is tilted or the lower back does not move well, the way you walk changes and the hip and knee joints are loaded unevenly. This is how complaints can develop that at first sight seem unrelated to their real cause.
At Waterland Chiropractie Heusden we first trace the cause, then create a personal treatment plan aimed at more even loading of your hip and knee.
Understanding Hip and Knee Complaints
Common Causes:
A leg length difference or tilted pelvis that changes the loading of hip and knee
Overloading through sports, heavy work or prolonged standing
Osteoarthritis of the hip or knee joint
Reduced mobility of the lower back or SI joint
Irritation of bursae or tendons around the hip or knee
Symptoms May Include:
Pain in the groin, buttock or on the side of the hip
Knee pain when climbing stairs, squatting or standing up
Start-up pain and stiffness after rest or in the morning
Radiating pain from the hip into the upper leg or knee
The feeling that the hip or knee locks up or is less stable
Impact on Daily Life:
Walking, cycling or playing sports takes more effort
Climbing stairs and getting out of a chair can become painful
You often start sparing the painful side, which can load other joints more heavily
Sleeping on the painful hip can become difficult

Frequently asked questions about hip and knee complaints
Yes, in many cases. Hip and knee complaints often stem from uneven loading caused by the pelvis or lower back. We work on the mobility of that chain, with the aim of less pressure on hip and knee.
Chiropractic care cannot reverse osteoarthritis, but it can help improve joint mobility and reduce the load on the joint, which often eases the complaints that come with it.
Your pelvis, hips and knees work as one chain. When the pelvis is tilted or the lower back moves poorly, your gait changes and the knee is loaded unevenly. The pain then shows up in the knee, while the cause sits higher up.
No, you do not need a referral from your GP for an appointment at Waterland Chiropractie Heusden. You can contact us directly.
The number of treatments depends on the cause and on how long the complaints have existed. After the first examination we discuss a realistic expectation with you.
