Effectiveness of osteopathic treatment in coxarthrosis (a review)

Coxarthrosis (hip osteoarthritis) is a common degenerative-dystrophic disease with an increasing global prevalence which leads to persistent pain syndrome, impaired biomechanics and reduced quality of life. Traditional approaches, including pharmacotherapy and exercise therapy, often have limitations: drug treatment does not affect the progression of degeneration and carries the risk of side effects, and the effectiveness of physical therapy is limited by low patient adherence. In this regard, the study and integration of additional non-drug methods, such as osteopathy, into complex treatment seems relevant.
