The purpose of the study is to explore the short term effects of chiropractic care on pain and function in patients with hip osteoarthritis.

Conditions

  • Hip Osteoarthritis

Interventions

OTHER

Chiropractic care

Clinical examinations and treatments were performed at the outpatient clinic. The patients were assessed and treated by research assistants and the clinical care was supervised by state registered chiropractors. The choice of therapy and modality was pragmatic and based on the analysis of different functions such as mobility, tenderness, muscle tension and tone, and each patient's relative symptoms. Chiropractic care included high-velocity and low-amplitude techniques, soft-tissue or myofascial techniques, and arthrokinematic stabilizing exercises or a combination of these. Patients were treated in 1-2 sessions per week during the trial.
