Hip pain
Are you experiencing any of these symptoms of hip pain?
I suddenly experienced a sharp, stabbing pain in the front of my hip joint, making it impossible to walk.
After maintaining the same posture for a long time, a sharp, stabbing pain occurs in the groin or buttocks when starting to move.

Please rest assured.
Pain in the hip joint is often caused by tension in the muscles and ligaments around the hip joint.
In some cases, osteoarthritis of the hip can disrupt the balance of the muscles surrounding the hip joint, making it more prone to pain.
The muscles in the hip joint are made up of multiple layers, and problems often lie in the deeper layers, making it difficult to improve symptoms with ordinary massage.
The muscles of the hip joint are very strong, and it is a joint that requires careful attention, as improper use can lead to changes in leg length, pelvic deformation, and numbness in the feet .
Early treatment and retraining on correct movement are crucial .
Characteristics of treatment for hip pain at Karada Kenkyujo Acupuncture and Osteopathic Clinic
In hip joint treatment, pain is rarely relieved solely by treating the muscles; restoring the hip joint's natural range of motion is essential for a fundamental solution.
Various muscles, such as those that stabilize the pelvis, push off the ground, and lift the leg, are attached to the hip joint. If these muscles do not move properly, even if the muscles are relaxed, it can lead to a recurrence of the condition.
We accurately distinguish between various muscles by touch, identify the muscle causing the problem, and then address it using acupuncture, manual therapy, and other techniques.
Additionally, we prescribe exercise therapy, such as exercises to correct pelvic movement, as needed.
You can consult with us with confidence, as your treatment will be performed by a professional who specializes in muscles and fascia and excels in trigger point therapy .
The treatment process for hip pain
STEP1
First, after a consultation, we perform a physical examination including palpation and range of motion checks to identify whether the pain is caused by muscles, joints, or nerves. In most cases, hip pain is not caused solely by the painful area itself; it is often due to pelvic misalignment, tension in the hip joint or thigh, or decreased abdominal pressure. Unless the cause is properly identified at this stage, even treatable conditions will not be cured.
STEP2
After that, we will explain your physical condition, the treatment plan, and the treatment fees. Once you agree, we will begin the treatment.
STEP3
The causes of pain are diverse, ranging from muscle and fascial pain to joint and nerve pain, but we will provide the most suitable treatment method for each type of pain.
[ Trigger point acupuncture , pelvic correction , exercise therapy (motor control/ Pilates ) ]
In addition, we use exercises practiced by top athletes in Europe and the United States to adjust pelvic balance.

Frequently Asked Questions about Treatment for Hip Pain
My hip joint is aching and I can't move. What should I do?
If the painful area is throbbing and clearly feels hot, it may be inflamed, so apply ice to the affected area.
If icing makes the pain worse, stop icing immediately.
If there is no inflammation (which is the case most of the time), staying still will only make your body stiffer.
Move your body within a comfortable range that doesn't cause any pain.
Testimonials from patients who received treatment for hip pain
大阪府 T様
【改善した症状】股関節の痛み
I had given up hope after being diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the hip.
I've had hip pain for a long time, and an orthopedic surgeon diagnosed it as osteoarthritis of the hip, so I had given up hope. However, after receiving treatment here, the range of motion in my hip has improved dramatically, and the pain is gone. I was also taught various pelvic exercises that I can do at home, so I will continue doing them. Thank you very much.
