Relief for Hip Pain: London’s Acupuncture Solution
Hip pain affects a significant portion of the population in the UK, especially among older demographics and those who have suffered injuries in the past.
However, there can be several underlying reasons for this including arthritis, muscle strains, ligament sprains, or cartilage tears, and it can be challenging to address all of them through conventional forms of medicine and pain relief alone.
At Acubody, we offer hip pain acupuncture as an alternative form of therapy that aims to address the root causes of this ailment as well as offer relief from the often debilitating pain that it can cause.
How Can Acupuncture Help with Hip Pain?
By targeting specific acupuncture points, practitioners aim to reduce inflammation, improve blood circulation, and alleviate muscle tension around the hip joint.
Acupuncture may also trigger the release of endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkillers, providing relief from discomfort. As such, those who would like to avoid or reduce reliance on over-the-counter medicine may see this as a tangible alternative.
Additionally, when combined with the wider body of traditional Chinese medicine practices, acupuncture aims to address the root causes of hip pain, not just the symptoms. For instance, our practitioners for acupuncture for hip pain in London always consider an individual’s overall health and well-being, leading to a holistic approach to pain management.
Some individuals may experience significant pain relief within their first few sessions, while others may need a more long-term treatment plan that factors in other treatments too, such as physical therapy, bodywork treatments, pilates, or Qi Gong.

Choosing Hip Pain Acupuncture
The choice of treatment for hip pain depends on the underlying cause and severity of the pain and it is always wise to consult with medical professionals.
Conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, and hip fractures, should all be taken into consideration when building a treatment plan, which should also consider the age and lifestyle of the affected person.
Common treatment methods for this ailment include rest, physical therapy, injections, assistive devices and surgical intervention. However, acupuncture, combined with a wider framework of lifestyle modifications and alternative treatments could also offer significant relief.
As a treatment method that works well with other forms of care, acupuncture can be a valuable and non-invasive option for managing hip pain at all ages. When performed by qualified practitioners, it could help reduce inflammation, alleviate muscle tension, and promote overall well-being.
