What Causes Hip Pain?

You may develop hip pain after a fall, sports injury, or car accident that damages the joint, muscles, or ligaments. Sometimes, pain from the lower back or spine radiates (referred pain) to the hip.

Common causes of hip pain include:

  • Arthritis (osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis)
  • Cartilage or labral tears
  • Fractures or dislocation
  • Overuse injuries
  • Bursitis (inflammation of fluid-filled sacs near the joint)
  • Femoroacetabular impingement (irregular bone shape causing joint friction)
  • Hamstring tendon injuries

Common Symptoms of Hip Pain

Depending on the cause, hip pain may come with:

  • Joint stiffness or swelling
  • Limited range of motion
  • Hip weakness or instability
  • Lower back pain
  • Difficulty standing, walking, or putting weight on the hip
  • Grinding, popping, or clicking sensations
  • Pain that worsens when lying on the affected side

If these symptoms persist, it’s important to seek professional evaluation to prevent further injury or chronic discomfort.

At Zen Attitude Acupuncture, we combine Eastern and Western healing principles to support your body’s natural recovery process.

1. Acupuncture for Hip Pain Relief

Acupuncture is a proven, drug-free approach for both acute and chronic hip pain. Thin, sterile needles are placed at precise points to:

  • Stimulate endorphin release (your body’s natural painkillers)
  • Improve blood flow to injured tissues
  • Relax tight muscles
  • Reduce inflammation and stress
  • Promote overall healing and mobility

2. Naturopathic & Homeopathic Care

Naturopathic medicine focuses on identifying and treating the root cause of pain using:

  • Hands-on therapies
    Homeopathic treatments — in oral or injectable form — use natural substances to gently stimulate the body’s healing response.
