Acupuncture works for the treatment of hip or joint pain by releasing tight muscles to encourage blood circulation and oxygen throughout the hip muscles and joints. Acupuncture can treat various types of hip or joint pain including arthritis, sciatica, and bursitis just to name a few.
Acupuncture reduces pain signals and increases the production of endorphins in the body while reducing inflammation in the surrounding tissues and helping the nerves to heal.
The use of acupuncture for the management of arthritis, hip, or joint pain is now widely accepted. It is recommended by NICE for chronic primary pain including low back pain, sciatica, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
