Do Hip Pain Exercises, Stretches, & More Decrease Hip Pain?

By Fred Fares

What are the major causes of hip pain? They are Arthritis, Avascular Necrosis, Hip Pain Strain, and Back Pain. There are stretches and hip pain exercises that you can do every day to decrease your hip pain and strengthen your hip muscles.

Stretching in the morning and in the evening will help decrease your hip pain and loosen up your hip muscles. You should focus on stretching your hips, upper and lower back, and legs. The 3 main stretches you should do are: knees to chest, hip and glute stretch, and spine twist stretch. Try to make this a morning and evening routine you do every day. After a while, it will become just a part of your daily routine.

Stretching decreases your hip pain by increasing your blood flow to your hip joints and muscles. This results in decrease in hip joint inflammation and increases your hip joint motion. When your hip joints are not inflamed and muscles are loosened up, you move more easily and do not get that painful grinding feeling.

The #1 hip pain exercises both Orthopedic Doctors and Physical Therapists recommend are walking, biking, and swimming. These exercises increase hip strength and decrease hip pain. Doctors believe these exercise are great for people who have hip pain because it is physical strengthening exercises that does not put overdo stress on hip joints.

After you have control over your hip pain, you can start to do more strenuous hip exercises to increase your hip strength. Some of these exercises are: squats, lunges, and even speed walking. However, I recommend staying away from running. Running tends to put more stress and increased impact against the hip joints. By doing this, you are increasing the risk of causing more damage and pain.

Sitting or lying down may also help relieve your hip pain. This is especially true if you have been on your feet for long period of time. When you sit or lie down, you take the stress off the hip joints and give your muscles a rest.

Applying heat to your painful hip will help decrease your hip pain and loosen up your cramping muscles. Heat works by increasing blood flow, easing muscle tension and decreasing hip joint inflammation. Heat can be applied by using an electric heating pad or heat wraps. Another natural hip pain treatment is applying and over-the-counter cream called Arnica. This cream is odorless, clear when applied to the skin, and will not stain your clothing or feel sticky.

When your hip pain seems to be tougher to handle and is persistent, you should call your Orthopedic Doctor. He or She is highly trained in pain management. Please never feel that you just have to get along with the pain. Your doctor may prescribe a medication or suggest an over the counter pain killer. When you do talk to your doctor about your hip pain, make sure you tell him or her all the medications you take plus any allergies to medicine.
