Hip pain is a very common problem I have treated many times. There are specific acupuncture points locally to the hip to release muscle, increase blood flow, and alleviate pain. There are also points I use systemically for reducing inflammation and pain. Hip pain can occur at the back, side, and / or front of the hip/pelvis.
With any type of pain it is always best to do a number of treatments close together to get ahead of the pain. The aim of acupuncture is to stimulate systemic beta endorphins (the body’s natural opioids for pain relieve) as well as systemic anti inflammatory factor. Also we want to release the muscles and promote good blood circulation.
Why the Hips Matter
The hips do a lot of work every day—carrying your weight, supporting balance, and helping you move with ease. When this area becomes tight or uncomfortable, it can affect your overall sense of well-being. While each person’s experience is unique, taking small steps to support hip comfort can be part of a broader wellness routine.
Gentle Ways to Care for Your Hips
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for hip discomfort, but thoughtful daily habits may help you feel more at ease. Consider incorporating:
When Additional Care Feels Right
Sometimes, even with daily care, hips can still feel tense or out of balance. This is when many people turn to gentle, non-invasive treatments to support relaxation and recovery. Choosing to explore care—whether through bodywork, acupuncture, or other wellness practices—can be a thoughtful part of staying in tune with your body.
If you or someone you know comes down with an acute injury or strain or has a chronic problem give acupuncture a try.
