David is the best there is. His skill is rare. I have been to David over the years for various ailments including long covid headaches, a shoulder injury which gave me years of pain and which David solved in a couple of sessions, perimenopause aches and recurring back problems. The great thing about David is he assesses the situation and then uses various methods including manipulation, dry needling, massage and cranial sacral massage to find the best way to eradicate and ease the pain. I know various tv and film stars visit David when in Glasgow. He’s the best in the world. And I’m so thankful to have found him.

Drysdale Osteopathy • Hip and Buttock Pain

It is important to differentiate genuine hip pain from buttock pain.

When the hip joint is affected, as in Osteoarthritis, the pain is normally felt in the groin and the front of the knee, but it can also be experienced in the buttock.

It is straightforward to test for Arthritis of the Hip. Your G.P. can arrange for x-rays to confirm the diagnosis.

Early Osteoarthritic changes in the hip joint may be helped with Osteopathy.

Muscles, such as Pectineus, can be treated with Acupuncture, and ease any stiffness and pain in the Osteoarthritic hip.

When the Hip Joint is not the cause, the vast majority of pain in this area comes from the low back and muscles of the buttock.

Muscles, such as Gluteus Minimus, are often related to hip pain. This muscle is rarely involved in arthritic hip pain, and pain here is more likely to be related to the lower back.

This is where Osteopathy can, usually, help greatly with this type of pain.

Spinal Manipulation and Deep Massage are the treatments of choice.
