Are You Experiencing Hip Pain?

Hip Arthritis

Hip Arthritis or arthritis hips is primarily a type of wear and tear arthritis called Osteoarthritis. It is the form of joint arthritis caused by degeneration of the hip joint cartilage and bare bone begins to grind upon bare bone. It is a condition that typically affects people during their midlife years and beyond (50+).

Hip pain symptoms seem to get worse as the condition in general worsens, and is not always linear, as you have good days and not so good days. Particularly when the weather changes radically, and more during the colder weather days. Sufferers tend to “feel it in their bones.” Look at the hip pain symptoms and see if you are currently experiencing any of them:

Symptoms of Hip Arthritis Pain

Arthritis joint pain in the hips
Stiffness that causes difficulty in walking without pain
Walking with a limp or favoring one side
Limited range of motion
Weakness in the legs
Urinary problems

Sore Hips Causes

Osteoporosis and weakening of the hip joint socket and cartilage
Professional dancers and gymnasts who use repetitive movements of the hips
Injuries that cause hip compression, like an automobile accident or a fall where you land on your side or knees
There may even be some genetic predisposition to this condition as well

Although you may feel severely debilitated by sore hips there are a lot of natural arthritis remedies that can really help you recover quickly and fully from hip joint pain.

Natural Treatment for Hip Joint Pain

Use a back brace to keep your hips in slightly stretched position to take pressure off the hip joint
Magnetic therapy and gentle massage of the hip area by a qualified practitioner using aromatic and warming oils
Begin incorporating an arthritis diet, and cut back on the items that cause inflammation and pain
Include Omega-3 oils (preferably from flax or plant sources, as animal sources are highly acidic)
Add warming spices (anti-inflammatory) to your meals if you enjoy them (curry, turmeric, ginger, garlic, cayenne)
Drink plenty of fluids (this will help hydrate the joint, and keep it operating smoothly)
Alternate between hot and cold packs on the joint. About 10 minutes each, cycle a few times between hot and cold
Take arthritis supplements (glucosamine, Hyaluronic acid, SAM-e, Boswellin)
Try some homeopathic cures as well
Lower your overall stress level (watch a comedy or even sing around the house, it really does work)

Arthritis Exercise and Postures

Water exercise or aerobics (swimming or walking in a pool with lukewarm water)
Resistance Training (lifting light to moderate weight) which shows the best exercise programs for every body system, which is usually referred to as a total body workout. Be sure to warm up and ride a bicycle or cardio equipment before you begin resistance training
Posture Training - The Alexander Technique is really great for this. Proper Posture is very important in getting arthritis pain relief and this is also taught in the Feldenkrais (highly recommended) method and Dorn methods which are similar and can help you never experience a hip, back or joint ache again!
Ergonomics – Proper Ergonomic Posture reduces stress on your hips and joints.
Yoga, Tai-Chi, Qi-Gong (these combine stretching, strengthening as well as meditation, which will lower your cortisol and blood pressure)

This will give you some great arthritis help and get you on your road to complete and lasting recovery from Hip Arthritis. Start where you are at, there is no race. Sometimes the slower the better, because you will not be in a stressful state, adding more pressure to do things quickly. Go at your own body’s pace and you will be helping others, because they will be asking what it is that you did to recover.

A key to experiencing a full recovery begins with giving your body the nutrition and supplementation it needs to protect your joints from the inside out. For arthritis hips I recommend taking JointKote to protect and rebuild your joint socket.

You can use a capsaicin cream (which you massage into the affected joint are) to bring immediate pain relief to the aching joint, and also draw the joint relief ingredients directly to the joint for repair and inflammation reduction.
