OVERVIEW:
Hip pain is a result of numerous health conditions, and the pain range can scale widely depending on each specific condition. Hip pain can come from many sources, like Arthritis, Hip fractures, Hip Labral tear, Muscle or tendon strain, Bursitis, or other Rheumatic diseases that affect joints and connective tissues. The pain that is typically experienced may be dull or sharp, sudden, or gradual depending on everyone’s case. Although hip pain is more common in older individuals and athletes due to their high functioning bodies and arthritis and bone fractures, it can also occur in people of all age groups.

SYMPTOMS:
Depending on the condition that’s causing the pain in your hip, there may be discomfort in your thigh, inside and outside of the hip joint, groin, and the buttocks. Problems within the hip joint itself tend to result in pain on the inside of your hip or your groin. Hip pain on the outside of your hip, upper thigh or outer buttock is usually caused by problems with muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other soft tissues that surround your hip joint. It is important to seek proper treatment for hip pain because it is a core part of our body.  With our acupuncture treatments, we relax the nervous system while improving energy and blood flow.

TREATMENT:
At Acupuncture Wellness Services, we use a combination of modalities and techniques to regulate the flow of energy in the body to achieve outstanding results.  The extensive training and experience of our practitioners enables them to successfully blend time-tested and ancient treatment protocols with modern and sophisticated therapies.  One of the greatest benefits of our procedure is the ability to detect and correct energetic sensitivities to foods and the environment that might be creating symptoms in your body.  Each patient is treated individually, and so the combination of techniques is determined at the time of evaluation.  Our treatments integrate well with western medicine, chiropractic, massage therapy, occupational therapy, dental work and nutritional healing.
