MBST Therapy for Hip Osteoarthritis and Chronic Hip Pain
Hip pain is a common and increasingly limiting condition, particularly in patients with osteoarthritis or long-standing joint degeneration. Symptoms often include persistent pain, reduced range of motion, stiffness, difficulty walking, and problems with everyday tasks such as getting in and out of a car or maintaining an exercise routine. Over time, these limitations can significantly affect quality of life.
What is MBST Therapy?
MBST (Magnetic Resonance Therapy) is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment designed to support the body’s natural regenerative and repair processes within joint cartilage and surrounding tissues. Unlike traditional pain-relief approaches, MBST does not rely on medication or injections and is carried out while the patient remains fully clothed and relaxed.
MBST is commonly used for:
- Hip osteoarthritis
- Chronic joint pain
- Degenerative cartilage conditions
- Patients seeking conservative care before considering surgical options
Clinical Experience: Hip Osteoarthritis Case Example
We have seen encouraging outcomes in patients with chronic hip pain using MBST Therapy. One example is Jayne, who has long-standing and severe hip osteoarthritis.
Prior to MBST treatment, Jayne experienced:
- Daily hip pain
- Significant difficulty walking
- Inability to exercise
- Discomfort and restriction when getting in and out of the car
Following a course of MBST Therapy, Jayne reported:
- Improved hip mobility and movement
- Reduced day-to-day pain
- Increased confidence in walking and daily activities
- A return to regular gym-based exercise
While individual results vary and outcomes cannot be guaranteed, improvements such as these reflect the potential role MBST may play as part of a conservative management strategy for hip osteoarthritis.
Who May Be Suitable for MBST?
MBST Therapy may be appropriate for patients who:
- Have been diagnosed with hip osteoarthritis
- Experience chronic hip pain or stiffness
- Are seeking non-invasive treatment options
- Wish to delay or avoid surgery where possible
- Have not responded fully to exercise, manual therapy, or medication alone
A full clinical assessment is required to determine suitability.
