Hip & Pelvic & Groin Pain Relief
with Navel Acupuncture
By identifying the specific pain pattern and affected area, navel acupuncture can help relieve hip, pelvic, and groin pain efficiently while restoring more stable movement and balance.
Does your Hip & Pelvic & Groin Pain look like this?
You CAN benefit from James Navel Acupuncture if you have one or more of the following:
✓ Posture-, Sitting-, or Activity-Related Hip and Pelvic Pain
Pain or tightness related to prolonged sitting, standing, walking, exercise, or load-bearing activities.
Symptoms may ease with rest but tend to recur.
✓ Structural or Degenerative Hip and Pelvic Pain
Persistent hip or pelvic discomfort associated with joint alignment changes or degenerative findings on imaging.
Pain often feels deep, heavy, or restrictive rather than sharp.
✓ Pelvic or Groin Pain
Pain, tightness, pulling, or pressure in the pelvic or groin region.
Often aggravated by walking, standing, movement, or prolonged sitting.
✓ Post-Traumatic or Post-Surgical Hip and Pelvic Pain
Residual pain, tightness, or sensitivity following injury, motor vehicle accidents, or surgery.
Often accompanied by protective tension or reduced movement confidence.
✓ Radiating Pain to the Thigh or Lower Limb (Including Sciatic-Type Pain)
Pain radiating from the hip or buttock to the front, side, or back of the thigh.
May feel pulling, burning, or nerve-like in nature.
🌿How Does Navel Acupuncture Treat Hip & Pelvic & Groin Pain?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, hip and pelvic pain is often related to the regulation of Qi and blood, the functional state of the internal organs, and the coordination of the meridian system, rather than a single joint or muscle issue.
Navel Acupuncture works through whole-body regulation, helping rebalance Qi and blood, support organ function, and harmonize meridian pathways that influence the hip and pelvic region.
Once the specific pain pattern and affected area are identified, navel acupuncture can often ease hip and pelvic pain efficiently—sometimes within the same treatment session—while promoting more stable and lasting improvement.
🌿How Many Treatments Are Usually Needed?
Every hip, pelvic, and groin pain condition is different. Treatment is individualized.
The following are general clinical references:
Acute hip, pelvic, or groin pain
Often shows clear improvement within 1–3 sessions.
Chronic or recurrent hip, pelvic, or groin pain
Commonly stabilizes after 3–6 sessions.
Stubborn or complex hip, pelvic, or groin pain
(Long history, multiple contributing factors)
Usually requires 1–2 courses of treatment, about 5–10 sessions.
Hip, pelvic, or groin pain related to trauma or surgery
Requires individualized evaluation based on medical findings.
The number of sessions varies from case to case.
🌿 Treatment Notes
Before Treatment
Please review the precautions for Navel Acupuncture before treatment.
If you have had any recent medical tests, imaging, or are currently receiving other treatments, please inform your acupuncturist.
During Treatment
Needle sensations vary from person to person. Mild pain or soreness during insertion may occur and is normal.
In general, the more relaxed you are, the milder the sensation.
Navel Acupuncture is a safe acupuncture treatment. Please stay relaxed and avoid unnecessary tension.
After Treatment
Rest after treatment. Drinking warm water may help support circulation and metabolic adjustment. Please avoid excessive exertion and exposure to cold or wind.
Many hip, pelvic, and groin pain patients notice improvement during the same treatment session.
In rare cases involving more complex conditions, some patients may experience temporary soreness, fatigue, mild discomfort, or changes in movement sensation after returning home, usually on the following day or later.
These are considered healing responses. Please do not be overly concerned and return for follow-up assessment as needed.
