10 Hip Pain Remedies

5. Use Compression

Compression is one of the most important steps in most overuse injuries. After icing the injury, wrap your hip and pelvic area in a compression bandage. You can also use an Ace bandage or any other sports wrap. Compression can help damaged muscles recover faster by increasing circulation. In many cases, seeing and feeling the bandage can also remind you of the injury, which forces you to remember to rest and care for your hip. Compression is typically used for acute pain caused by injury, but your doctor can tell you if hip pain related to arthritis may also benefit from this technique.
