Hip Pain

Hip and buttock pain in Chinese medicine sits mostly along the Gallbladder channel, and it tends to combine two things: wind-damp lodged in the joint, and a deficiency underneath that let it settle there. Aching that is worse in cold, wet weather and eases with warmth is the wind-damp piece. A deep, tired weakness that worsens with standing or as the day goes on is the deficiency piece.

Matching the formula

Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang is the classic for wind-damp painful obstruction in the lower body with an underlying Liver and Kidney deficiency, the aging hip and low back that ache and feel weak together. Shu Jing Huo Xue Tang invigorates blood and dispels wind-damp for the stuck, stubborn presentation where circulation has stalled in the channels.

Get assessed rather than self-treating if

You cannot bear weight after a fall, the hip pain came on with a fever, or you have night pain with unexplained weight loss. Those need examination first.

Pain that radiates down the leg belongs in Sciatica & Nerve Pain. Pain that stays in the low back is Low Back Pain.
