Several osteopathic treatments will be offering in your session to treat and reducing the pain in the hip and pelvis area. Some postural correction and behavioral changes can reduce your pain dramatically.

After the physical examinations of your hip and pelvis and checking its joints, muscles, tendons, your osteopath will probably tell you the cause of your pain. Numerous, stretches, joint movements, muscle strengthening, and soft tissue therapy can help to alleviate your pain promptly. Sometimes there might be two different conditions inside your joint. One of them is inflammation in the joint and the second one is stiffness.  In case of the first hip joint condition, your osteopath practitioner will minimize your joint mobility and try to focus more on the soft tissue and deep tissue therapy for you to bring more blood and oxygen to the site of the inflammation and let it heal by itself due to the ability of self healing process of the body itself. On the other hand, in the second case when your joint has little mobility and it is stiff, after spending a short period of time on warming up your joint, s/he will try to stretch the joint to increase your range of motion.

Women who have dysmenorrhea pain (menstrual pain) can benefit from osteopathic treatments as well. There is instantaneous pain reduction and blood flow increment after manipulation of the pain site, and nerve supply will improve its performance, which help to alleviate dysmenorrhea pain in women.
