    Reputable Acupuncture Clinic Located in New York, NY

    Hip flexor issues can be a debilitating hindrance to daily activities. Conventional treatment such as pain medication acts as a bandaid and doesn’t address the root cause of pain. While physical therapy can be an essential tool for preventing future injury, it sometimes falls short in relieving pain and restoring function. Acupuncture is an effective treatment for many cases of hip flexor pain and discomfort. 

    Causes of Hip Flexor Issues

    The hip flexors are a group of muscles that cause flexion at the hip joint. Overuse, prolonged sitting, repetitive motions, and trauma can lead to hip flexor issues. Common causes include:

    Sedentary Lifestyle or postural tension: Hours of sitting can shorten and tighten these muscles, leading to discomfort or pain.

    Sports Injuries: Athletes, especially runners or those engaged in high-impact sports, are prone to hip flexor strains.

    Improper Form: Whether in everyday activities or specific exercises, incorrect body mechanics can strain hip flexors.

    Age: With age, muscles can become less elastic and more susceptible to injuries.

    Other Medical Conditions: Conditions like arthritis can indirectly lead to hip flexor issues due to altered movement patterns.

    How Does Acupuncture Relieve Hip Flexor Problems?

    Acupuncture revolves around the principle of Qi (energy) flow throughout the body. When Qi is blocked, it can lead to pain or dysfunction. For hip flexor issues:

    Stimulating Increased Blood Flow: Strategically selected acu-points increase blood flow to the affected areas, promoting healing of damaged tissue.

    Releasing Muscle Tension: Acupuncture releases trigger points and adhesions to restore optimal function and relieve pain and discomfort in muscles.

    Pain Relief: Acupuncture triggers the release of natural (endogenous) painkillers including endorphins for powerful whole-body pain relief.

    Restoring Balance: By addressing the root causes and not just symptoms, acupuncture provides a holistic approach to addressing hip flexor pain.

    How Long Does Pain Relief from Acupuncture Last?

    The duration of pain relief varies from person to person and depends on how long-standing and severe the issue is. Many experience immediate relief after just one session, while for others, it might take multiple sessions to feel significant improvement. If there are lifestyle factors that contribute to reinjury, maintenance sessions may be necessary, while others experience significant or complete relief and do not need continued treatment to maintain this result. Our goal is to provide long-lasting relief from pain.
