A 42 year old patient presented with a Bursitis in Paphos, Cyprus around the left hip and knee. Symptoms were predominately of pain, stiffness which were aggravated by damp and cold weather.

On examination, X-rays indicated soft tissue swelling around the patella (knee cap) otherwise known as house maids knee, and a large swelling behind the knee (popliteal fossa). The was also pain around the left hip and swelling below the iliac crest.

On osteopathic examination there was stiffness and pain around the joint margin and peri patella bursal effusion that was extra articular.

Treatment consisted of Osteopathic mobilisation of the knee joint and lymphatic drainage. Osteopathic manipulation of the lower back and hip traction was also applied to aid in relieving the swelling (bursitis) and promoting movement of the joints, loosening of the muscles and increasing blood flow to the muscles.

Acupuncture was also applied for both pain relief and to decrease inflammation.

After both Osteopathy and Acupuncture treatment, the patient felt more mobility and less pain on walking.
