Do Hip Pain Exercises, Stretches, & More Decrease Hip Pain?
Arthritis, Avascular Necrosis, Hip Pain Strain, and Back Pain all cause mild to severe hip pain. When you do daily stretches and hip pain exercises, you will 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.
When you get into the habit of stretching every day, you will notice that your hip pain will decrease and the range of your hip and leg motion will increase. The reason for this is because stretching increases the blood flow to your hip joints and muscles, decreases painful inflammation, and loosens up the hip and leg muscles.
Hip Pain Exercises decreases your hip pain and also strengthens your hip joints and muscles. 3 highly recommended exercises are walking, swimming, and biking. First, start out doing these exercises for about 10 to 15 minutes a day and then increasing the time at your own rate. Another reason why these exercises are highly recommended is because it does not put high impact pounding affect on the joints like running does.
When you feel that your hip muscles and joints are getting stronger, you can start doing more advanced hip exercises. A few advanced exercises are: squats, pile squats, and assisted lunge. You may even start to lift light weights to tone and increase strength of your overall body.
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.
When you choose to sit down to recover from being on your feet or when your hip pain just becomes little too much, you can apply heat to loosen up your hip joints and muscles. Heat be applied to your hip by taking a hot bath, applying heat wrap, or using an electric heating pad. After applying heat, you can then apply an over-the-counter pain reliever cream called Arnica. Dont worry it does not smell bad; it absorbs into the skin instantly, and does not feel sticky.
Sometimes your hip pain can just be unbearable. There are time when it seems nothing can ease your hip pain. You do not have to just deal with the pain and bear with it. Call your Orthopedic Doctor and explain that your hip pain is just too much. He or she will probably prescribe a prescription or suggest and over-the-counter pain killer. It is important to remind your doctor of the medications you take and any allergies you may have to certain medications.
