Treatment Options for Hip
Here are some general tips from our Hinge Health therapists and doctors for managing mild to moderate hip pain:
Over-the-counter meds. Use painkillers like ibuprofen (Advil), naproxen (Aleve), or acetaminophen (Tylenol) safely. Always consult with your medical physician.
Ice and heat. Alternate between an ice pack and heating pad every 20 minutes to reduce swelling and ease stiffness.
Topical relievers. Apply creams or patches that deliver pain relief through the skin.
Exercise therapy. Try simple stretches and strengthening exercises to ease tightness and pain.
Soft bandage. Wrap your hip with a soft bandage and elevate your leg to reduce swelling.
Adjust your sleeping position to lessen hip pressure: sleep on the non-painful side or place a pillow between your knees or under them.
Explore complementary therapies such as massage, acupuncture, or chiropractic care with your provider.
For a more proven, long-term solution, check your eligibility to our free program, paid for by most employers.
