How to Recover After a Hip Injury

To add to the pain caused by her knee problems, my wife occasionally suffers from hip pain. While her knee pain came out of nowhere, my wife developed hip pain during the winter when she injured her hip on a patch of ice. Since the body has the ability to heal almost any injury, I figured that there must be some way to treat her hip pain as well. Like every other part of the body, the hip can experience pain relief and even fully heal if given the right nutrients.

Like all joint and muscle pain, total healing and rejuvenation is ideal. Pain relief is an important part of the healing process, allowing for exercise and the strengthening of joints. One of the greatest forms of pain relief for injured hips is heat therapy. Heating pads that can be wrapped around the waist, like a lumbar pack, were great for my wife who suffered from hip pain on occasion.

There are a variety of herbs and supplements that can be used to treat hip pain and help an injured hip recover. These herbs and supplements are:

• Stinging nettle
• Zanthoxylum
• Rose hip
• Protease
• Cellulase
• Alpha-Galactosidase
• Catalase
• Glucose Oxidase
• Glucosomene
• Organic sulfur
• Goldenseal
• Chamomile flower
• Amylase
• Lipase
• Vitamin b1, b2, and b12
• Niacin
• Folic Acid
• Biotin
• Cod liver oil
• Flaxseed oil

Though not all of these are needed to heal a hip problem, these herbs and supplements are great in combination. In addition to heat therapy and herbal treatments, there are many other physical treatments that can be done, such as exercise and self-care. Look into these treatments. The right kind of exercise can help strengthen the joints and relieve pain.
