Traditional methods of treating arthrosis of the hip joint

You can cure coxarthrosis (arthrosis of the hip joint) at home using folk remedies, which, in addition to traditional medicine, give good results. It is worth emphasizing that the effectiveness of treatment using non-traditional recipes depends on the stage of the disease: at stages 3-4 it is used only as rehabilitation after surgical treatment.

What is arthrosis of the hip joint?

The iliopelvic femoral bones are connected like a hinge. The head of the femur rotates in the acetabulum, providing all the variety of movements of the leg.

To ensure stable operation of the joint there are 4 main mechanisms:

A powerful muscular frame protects the joint from impacts and other external influences. Muscles are also shock absorbers that dampen vibration when walking and take some of the load off the bones.
The joint is surrounded by a durable capsule to which the muscles are attached. This is the second layer of protection.
The joint space is lined with hyaline cartilaginous tissue. It hides bone roughness and ensures smooth rotation of the femoral head. It is also another shock-absorbing layer of protection.
Joint fluid acts as a lubricant and nutrient broth for cartilage. In a diseased joint it is more viscous and viscous.

Treatment of hip coxarthrosis with folk remedies is necessary if there is a violation at one of the levels of protection. Because of this, the cartilage tissue is destroyed, causing pain. The affected joint can no longer fully perform its functions. Free movement of the head of the bone becomes difficult and over time the bones become deformed.

Before starting treatment, it is necessary to carry out a full range of diagnostic measures, which we will write about below.

Based on the results of examining the joint, the doctor will determine the cause and stage of the disease. The measures that need to be taken for a speedy recovery will depend on this.

Recipes for external use

Ointments based on medicinal herbs deserve special attention, the use of which is aimed at treating grade 3 coxarthrosis. They are applied to the affected area of the articular joint, which allows the active components to act without affecting the blood flow. To prepare such an ointment, the peresupen plant is used, which is poisonous. Therefore, proportions should be strictly observed if such treatment is chosen, then osteochondrosis can be quickly eliminated. To create a treatment, 200 grams of root are used, to which 300 grams of pork fat are added. The mixture is boiled for 5 minutes, then cooled. It is recommended to use before bedtime for a month. In the future, you can repeat the course of treatment for coxarthrosis of the hip joint, but only after a week's break.

Oils prepared according to home recipes are considered no less effective for the treatment of osteochondrosis of the hip joint. To create, you need to mix half a glass of vegetable oil with calendula flowers, burdock root, linden blossom and hop cones. Oil for the treatment of osteochondrosis should be infused for about a week in a dark place, after which it can be applied to the damaged area by rubbing.

Treatment of joints with traditional methods involves the use of healing baths. In this case, a variety of herbal infusions can be used, from which it is necessary to prepare a decoction, which is subsequently added to the water. The duration of the bath should not exceed a quarter of an hour. Mustard can be used as an additive, but after taking it it is important to carefully insulate the affected area. The water temperature should correspond to body temperature; after the procedure, it is allowed to apply a cabbage leaf to the diseased area or make a mesh of iodine.

Stages of the disease

It is important to consider that conservative and traditional medicine, physiotherapy and diet will only help at stages 1 and 2 of arthrosis. That is, until the joint moves more or less freely and muscle atrophy has not begun. During this period, the joint has just begun to deteriorate and timely treatment will help restore it.

If the cartilage is torn or completely worn out, the joint capsule is severely deformed, as in the 3-4 stages of development of coxarthrosis, only surgery will help. And it is better not to delay in carrying it out so that rehabilitation takes as little as possible.

Symptoms

The main manifestation of the disease is pain in the joint area, groin and knees. Depending on the stage of development of the pathology, other symptoms develop:

In the initial stages, a person feels only pain in the joint or hip to the knee after severe physical exertion.
Gradually the pain begins to spread to the groin and thigh. After exertion, a person can no longer walk freely and limps. Abduction and rotation of the hip become difficult.
Pain accompanies the patient day and night. Due to joint deformation, it is almost impossible to walk without a cane or crutches. The muscles gradually atrophy and the limb shortens. The body tries to compensate for damage to the joint by redistributing the load. The body bends, the posture deteriorates.

The best time to start treatment is when the first symptoms appear. If the muscles begin to atrophy and the joint practically does not move, only surgery will help.

Traditional medicine recipes

There are quite a lot of recipes based on chicken eggs. Every day before going to bed, make a compress consisting of one egg white, beaten with a spoon of wheat flour. The mass is applied to the joint, secured with a compress cloth and a warm bandage. In the morning, remove the bandage and rinse the skin thoroughly with water.

Dip a suitable size compress cloth into the product and apply it to the joint. Secure with waterproof material. Leave it on all night. After several procedures, the pain will go away or become less severe.

You're throwing away lard, but it's in vain! Carefully roll up the lard mesh and put it in the freezer. Shortly before you go to bed, defrost one piece, straighten it and sprinkle with coarse salt.

Applications

Surprisingly, those same copper Soviet coins also help with arthrosis of the hip joint. They also say that “money can’t buy health.” If you have kept a few coins from before 61 as souvenirs, consider yourself very lucky. First you need to prepare them. Dissolve a tablespoon of salt completely in one hundred milliliters of water. Place coins in saline solution for a day. Dry or wipe with a clean cloth the medicinal money and stick it on a large plaster. Attach the prepared application to the problem joint and do not remove it for up to ten days. In some cases, copper causes irritation, in which case treatment will have to be interrupted. If there are no inconveniences, the coin applicator can be used several times.
In the morning, applications made from birch leaves will help to disperse. Take about fifteen leaves and heat them over steam. Place the steamed leaves on a wide bandage, cover with the other half of the bandage and secure it to the joint.

An ointment according to the prescription of the Russian naturopath Kurenny will help with coxarthrosis. Every evening for a week, rub the affected joint with an ointment consisting of fifty grams of mustard powder and camphor oil, one hundred milliliters of pure alcohol and three chicken proteins. First, dissolve camphor oil in alcohol and combine with mustard. Beat the egg white until foam forms and mix well with the prepared mixture. Before going to bed, rub the sore joint with ointment so that it is absorbed into the skin. Wrap the joint in a warm cloth and lie down under a blanket.
An egg with a shell dissolved in vinegar will relieve pain. Place a raw egg with shell in a jar, pour in the essence so that the egg is covered and put it in the cupboard for ten days. After this time, we take out the jar, shake the contents and see that the shell has completely dissolved. Stir one hundred grams of butter into the liquid and leave for another three days. We use the ointment for any arthrosis.
Rub the ointment on pork fat at night every day. Melt three hundred grams of pork fat and pour two hundred grams of finely chopped foot root into a bowl with fat. Simmer on fire for about five minutes. Cool and store in the refrigerator.
An ointment based on olive oil can only be prepared in summer, since freshly picked celandine is used for its preparation. Grind the plant along with the stem, put eight spoons in a glass jar and add a spoon of olive oil. Leave for two weeks in a warm, dark place. Can be used daily.
If you suffer from joint pain at night, make a Vaseline-based ointment, it will certainly help. Take one spoon each of dried St. John's wort and yarrow. Grind the herbs to a powder. Melt two tablespoons of Vaseline in a steam bath, add herbal powder to it and rub everything thoroughly. Use before bed.

Warming up

An impromptu steam room can be built at home. In the spring, chop birch branches with young leaves and dry them. Remove the leaves from the branches and store them in a dry place. For a home steam room, fill some of the leaves with hot water, take a bag made of natural fabric so large that it reaches your waist, and fill it with steamed birch leaves. Climb into the bag and secure the edge to your belt. Wrap yourself in polyethylene and a warm blanket on top. A person in such a bathhouse begins to sweat, as if in a steam room, and feels thirsty. Drink herbal infusions and clean water. After the procedure, go straight to bed. By the way, if there are no birch leaves, you can use others, for example, burdock, coltsfoot or cabbage leaves, which can be found in abundance in the fall.

In addition, pick up a few tips from traditional medicine and very soon you will be able to go for morning runs.

Diagnostics

You can use folk remedies and pharmaceuticals only after consulting a doctor. Damage to the muscles and tendons of the legs, spinal injuries, or arthritis can cause similar symptoms. Therefore, appropriate diagnostics are necessary to assess the condition of the joint and make a correct diagnosis.

Coxarthrosis is detected through:

X-ray;
computer and magnetic resonance imaging.

Additionally, laboratory tests will be ordered to make a differential diagnosis. A competent specialist in the images will be able not only to determine coxarthrosis, but also to indicate what exactly led to the development of the pathology.

Other causes of hip pain

Pain in the hip area is not only caused by arthrosis. Sometimes the causes are bruise or trochanteritis of the hip joint; treatment with folk remedies in this case is of a different nature. Trochanteritis is inflammation of the junction of the tendon and the femur. It occurs due to injuries and bruises, as well as severe overload of the legs.

To treat the disease, tinctures of calendula, sage and chamomile, wormwood and other plants with anti-inflammatory properties are used. To treat bruises, badyagu, plantain and ointments based on them are used.

A year and a half ago, on an MRI of the hip joints, I was diagnosed with grade 1 coxarthrosis of the hip joints. I tried a lot of things, herbs, anti-inflammatory, painkillers, nothing helps.

Reasons for the development of the disease

Most often, people become acquainted with coxarthrosis after 40 years of age due to age-related changes in the body. But according to statistics from the World Health Organization, the disease is gradually getting younger. Previously less common causes become more relevant, and treatment has to be adjusted to new conditions.

Most often, coxarthrosis is caused by:

Regular hyperload. This applies not only to athletes and movers. Obesity is the most common danger to joints.
Pathologies of development of the musculoskeletal system. If a child has been diagnosed with dysplasia or curvature of the spine, the chances of developing coxarthrosis are much higher. By compensating for existing disorders, the body increases the load on the hip joint and it will collapse faster.
Congenital pathologies. If there are developmental disorders of the fetus during pregnancy or a lack of nutrients in the mother's diet, the joint may suffer.
Hormonal imbalances. A change in the balance of substances secreted by the glands disrupts the nutrition of cartilage, causing them to be destroyed. Chronic stress has a similar effect.

Separately, doctors distinguish secondary coxarthrosis, which develops against the background of existing chronic pathologies.

Among the most dangerous diseases for the hip joints are:

diabetes;
osteoporosis;
rheumatoid arthritis;
autoimmune diseases;
infectious lesions.

In this case, treatment of the joint is ineffective until the influence of the underlying disease is weakened.

Bruises and injuries

Although falls and blows are much more dangerous for older people, this is the main cause of coxarthrosis in young people for several reasons:

physical impact on the joint capsule;
inflammatory processes after injury;
infection from penetrating wounds;
untreated injuries due to dislocations and fractures.

Because of this, the joint is deformed and the chance of developing arthrosis increases many times over. For serious cartilage injuries, only surgery on the joint capsule can help.

Drug treatment

There are no “miracle pills” or ointments that can completely restore cartilage without additional therapeutic measures. Any medications are used only as an aid. Therefore, treatment of hip arthrosis at home using traditional or conservative methods is more aimed at the symptoms of the disease.

Pharmaceuticals also provide general support to the body:

Vitamins and dietary supplements. To speed up the processes of natural regeneration and strengthen the immune system, it is necessary to establish a normal supply of nutrients.
Vasodilators. Medicines based on pentoxifylline (Vazonit, Flexital and others) and xanthinol nicotinate (Complamin, Teonicol and others) improve blood flow to tissues. This speeds up the treatment of the hip joint at home using folk remedies and conservative methods due to a better flow of nutrients and bioactive substances to the cells .
Painkillers. In the initial stages of the disease, Ibuprofen, Indomethacin and analogue tablets are used. For more severe pain, it is necessary to switch to injections of analgesics or even use steroid medications. But such treatment of symptoms of hip arthrosis at home brings only temporary relief and impairs the nutrition of the cartilage, which slows down recovery.
Muscle relaxants. These medications relieve spasms in the thigh muscles, reducing compensatory stress on the joint and pain in the leg.
Hormonal drugs. Usually prescribed for disorders of the endocrine system that provoke coxarthrosis.

Not all drugs are used in traditional therapy for hip arthrosis. Some of them are replaced by treatment with folk remedies, and some are not needed due to the individual characteristics of the body and the course of the disease.

But there are 2 categories of drugs that cannot be excluded or replaced. They are very effective and help eliminate almost all symptoms of the disease in the initial stages of arthrosis of the hip joint, speeding up treatment at home by restoring cartilage tissue.

Chondroprotectors

These medications simultaneously slow down the destruction of cartilage tissue, restore the normal volume of synovial fluid in the joint space and accelerate regeneration. Therefore, it is necessary to take chondroprotectors for arthrosis.

There are 3 generations of these drugs:

Ineffective natural extracts from animal cartilage: Alflutop, Rumalon.
More active synthetic drugs based on chondroitin sulfate or glucosamine hydrochloride: Structum, Mucosat.
Combined preparations of chondroitin and glucosamine with anti-inflammatory and rheumatoid additives: Artron, Theraflex.

3rd generation medications are the most effective, but their price is significantly higher. Therefore, the doctor also selects a specific list of medications taking into account the patient’s financial capabilities.

Compresses with dimexide for arthrosis

Dimexide is a toxic substance that has a bidirectional effect:

Anesthetizes, relieves swelling and inflammation. The medicine also disinfects tissues and relieves itching.
Enhances the effectiveness of antibiotics and improves tissue permeability, promoting the rapid penetration of other active substances into cartilage tissue.

Therefore, compresses with Dimexide are often used for symptomatic therapy. And in combination with chondroprotectors, the effectiveness of treating hip arthrosis at home increases many times over.

But before attempting to use the medication yourself, it is worth considering:

This is poison. It should not be taken orally or used to treat children under 12 years of age or pregnant women.
Concentrated Dimexide leaves chemical burns. For compresses, 50% solutions are used.
You can leave the medicine on the skin only for half an hour , wrap it with cling film and insulate the joint. The course of treatment continues for 1-3 weeks, 1 procedure per day. Then you need a break of 15 days.

At the moment, dimexide is often used as an ingredient in ointments and gels: Remisid, Diclofenac, Capsicam. In this form, its use is safer and more effective.

Therapeutic exercises for arthrosis

Many patients are interested in how to treat joint disease or how to get rid of bilateral coxarthrosis using time-tested techniques? Treatment methods for coxarthrosis can be very diverse. In most cases, the patient is diagnosed with grade 2 osteoarthritis of the hip joint, which is treated by prescribing the patient to perform therapeutic exercises. They are aimed at strengthening muscles, normalizing the patient’s motor activity, restoring blood circulation in the lower limb and, as a result, getting rid of arthrosis. Exercises for coxarthrosis of the hip joint are usually carried out in the morning and evening. The selection of the complex is carried out exclusively by a qualified specialist, since it is important to eliminate the influence of loads on the affected area of the articular joint, and the treatment of osteoarthritis is as effective as possible.

Simple exercises that can be performed several times and regularly are excellent for performing, especially when diagnosing bilateral coxarthrosis of the 1st degree. Experts often recommend using a dosed load in the form of a cuff with sand; its weight is insignificant and it is attached to the ankle joint, this is especially effective when diagnosing grade 2 coxarthrosis.

In this case, all exercises are performed at a slow pace.

The range of movements should not be wide. It is important to monitor the respiratory process, which is derivative. Each exercise, or rather its completion, should be accompanied by raising the upper limbs as you inhale and lowering them as you exhale. If the exercises are performed at home, then you can use self-massage of the gluteal muscles and thighs through a special roller massage. You can purchase it at any store specializing in sports equipment.

Treatment of arthrosis of the hip joint involves the use of a complex that includes several exercises:

Take the starting position standing and place the healthy lower limb in a slightly elevated position. You can use a low bench for this. It is necessary to swing the affected limb while controlling the knee. The duration of the exercise is until fatigue.
Take the starting position lying on your back and place your lower limbs straight. It is necessary to alternately bend and straighten the lower limbs, without lifting the heels from the floor. If desired, you can create an imitation of cycling in the same position. Do not overwork yourself; at the first signs of fatigue, stop the exercise at the moment they appear.
Take a standing position on all fours, and slowly extend your lower limbs one at a time. The exercise can be performed with a weight cuff.

It should be remembered that after performing each of the exercises, it is recommended to relax the muscles, especially after the second version of the exercise is completed, otherwise the treatment will be harmful. If the patient is limited in the motor process and is diagnosed with the third stage of joint disease, then he should refuse to perform complex gymnastics and try to cure coxarthrosis with other methods.

Folk remedies

Before starting treatment for hip arthrosis at home, you should definitely consult a doctor. A specialist will help increase the effectiveness of traditional treatment by suggesting the best combinations of remedies.

This will also eliminate a number of problems:

Folk remedies for arthrosis of the hip joint can cause allergies and side effects. Knowing what the patient is using, the doctor can adjust the therapy in time.
Some recipes from traditional healers are not compatible with taking medications. Interactions between active substances can be dangerous.
Chronic diseases often limit the ability to use certain treatments. A complete diagnosis will relieve the disruption of internal organs due to the use of folk remedies that increase the load on the liver or kidneys, and the cardiovascular system.

Otherwise, treatment with folk remedies is cheaper and sometimes even more effective in combating the symptoms of hip arthrosis. But only with the proper use of home therapeutic methods.

Rubbing for arthrosis

It is better to prepare any natural mixtures immediately before use. If you get a large portion, the leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator.

For arthrosis of the hip joint, the following folk remedies are used:

Stir 6 tbsp in a glass of alcohol. mustard and camphor oil. Then add 6 beaten egg whites to the mixture. Apply the warming composition to the affected joint for a week before bedtime.
Grind mint, aloe and eucalyptus in equal proportions in a blender. You can rub the green mass or add it to Vaseline to make an ointment.
We combine a teaspoon of alcohol, honey, glycerin, iodine and medical bile. Rub into skin before bed for a week. Then we take a break.

Rubbing works better if the joint is wrapped in film and insulated with a woolen scarf or shawl.

Compresses and ointments

Typically, at home, multi-layer bandages made of fabric soaked in medicinal decoctions are used. But ointment compresses are no less effective:

To ease the pain, grate the horseradish root and spread the pulp on a piece of linen cloth. We tape it to the thigh for 15 minutes. To avoid burns, remove the mixture and rinse the skin with warm water. Then we insulate the joint to maintain the warming effect.
To dilate blood vessels and relieve inflammation, you can mix badger fat, ground juniper berries and chopped nettle in equal proportions. Then apply the ointment to the affected area and insulate it.
Ordinary rock salt has an excellent warming effect. We heat about a kilogram of white crystals in a frying pan and pour it onto a cloth. This kind of compress should not burn. We remove the salt when it has completely cooled down and insulate it.

The effect of home treatment will increase if you alternate warm compresses with cooling rubs based on mint and eucalyptus.

Infusions and decoctions

In many ways, the health of the joint depends on the condition of the body as a whole. Tinctures and decoctions will help heal the body and increase the flow of nutrients to the pelvic cartilage:

The most effective alcohol medicines are prepared from cinquefoil, elecampane roots or lilac shoots. To prepare them, add 3 tablespoons of raw materials to a liter of high-quality vodka and leave to infuse for 2 weeks. Shake every evening. Take the medicine 30 drops once a day for a month.
For a general strengthening effect, take a couple of celery roots, 2 dozen cloves of garlic, 3 chopped lemons and make a homogeneous paste from them in a blender. Pour 3 liters of boiling water and leave overnight. We drink 2 glasses every morning on an empty stomach for at least a month. 3 tbsp will help slightly improve the taste of the medicine. natural honey added to the jar.
Boil half a glass of fir shoots for 20 minutes in a steam bath in a liter of water. You need to take the tonic 3 tsp. once a day for at least a month.

The effect of infusions and decoctions will be noticeable within a week after the start of treatment.

Other folk recipes

Many folk remedies for treating arthrosis of the hip joint can be found in the kitchen:

Cabbage wrap will help improve tissue nutrition. Spread natural flower honey onto lightly beaten cabbage leaves and wrap the product to the joint with several layers of film. Then we insulate it. Treatment can be continued for a month.
If you have coxarthrosis, you will have to love jellied meat and jelly. These are delicious 1st generation chondroprotectors that can be prepared at home. It is enough to boil 1 kg of beef knees with seasonings for 5-6 hours. Eating 250 ml of jellied meat every day can significantly improve the condition of your knees.
Instead of the usual tea and coffee, it is better to drink compotes from raspberries, black currants and other berries. These decoctions are used to improve metabolism, enhance immunity and normalize cell nutrition by strengthening blood vessels.

You can also take medicinal baths by first preparing 5 liters of a decoction of medicinal herbs and adding it to the water.

For these purposes you can use:

fresh nettle;
comfrey root;
hay dust;
juniper berries;
mint;
heather;
lingonberries;
Tatarnik

For greater effect, herbs can and should be combined.

Folk recipes for tinctures and infusions

To treat coxarthrosis at home, infusions and tinctures prepared from medicinal plants are widely used. Infusions are prepared by brewing plant materials with boiling water, while to prepare tinctures you will need alcohol or vodka. Prepared folk remedies are taken orally before meals or rubbed into the affected joint.

Cooking recipes:

Cut the horse chestnuts into four parts, place tightly in a glass container and fill with vodka. The product should be infused with the lid closed, first in bright sun for three days, and then in the dark for another thirty days. Can be used both for compresses and for rubbing.

Prevention

There is no way to prevent aging or accidental injuries. But it is quite possible to fight other causes of coxarthrosis:

It is advisable to follow the principles of healthy eating. Lack of excess weight will reduce the stress on the joint. And the tissues will be provided with all the necessary substances for normal functioning.
Normalize physical stress on the joint. It is better to use special equipment to carry heavy objects. And instead of weightlifting and similar sports, do yoga, gymnastics or fitness.

Treat all diseases and problems in the body in a timely manner.

It is also necessary to deal with stress. If you can’t change jobs and improve family relationships, it’s better to consult a psychologist and master meditation techniques.

Lifestyle and rehabilitation

When treating coxarthrosis, it is not enough to make compresses and take pills. In order for the joint to fully recover and mobility to return to the leg, especially after surgery on the hip joint, it is important to begin to follow preventive measures, modified to suit the individual situation.

So the primary tasks for the patient should be to establish the supply of nutrients by normalizing nutrition and ensuring adequate physical activity. In this case, you cannot do without consulting a nutritionist and exercise therapy specialist.

Compresses

Compresses and wraps are intended mainly to relieve acute pain. Their long-term use contributes to the recovery of the diseased joint. There are many options for wraps and compresses for the treatment of arthrosis of the hip joint:

Spread the horseradish root gruel on a linen napkin and place the cloth side around the sore joint. Leave for 10 minutes. Next, remove the compress and rinse off any remaining residue with warm water. Then wrap the body around the diseased joint.

Horseradish root

You can combine hot and cold compresses alternately. This temperature contrast causes an anti-inflammatory effect due to blood flow to the affected area, which helps reduce pain.
Warm compresses made from healing mud are useful (you can buy them at the pharmacy). After application, such a compress should be wrapped in film and wrapped. Keep until completely cool.

Therapeutic mud

Hot sea salt is used to relieve swelling from the joint. Heat 1 glass of sea salt in a frying pan, pour into a linen bag, which must be applied hot to the sore joint.

A compress made from hogweed leaves has a good analgesic effect. Chop the leaves, wrap them in a gauze band and wrap the band around the affected joint.

Hogweed

A good remedy is honey-cabbage wrap. The sore joint should be covered with white cabbage leaves, smeared with natural flower honey. From above, such a compress is strengthened and insulated with 2-3 layers of cellophane film. Warm wrap on top of the film. Treatment lasts 30 days. Cabbage leaves with honey should be changed twice a day: in the morning and before bed.

Jellied meat is very good for joints, like any product rich in gelatin. But nutrition for arthrosis is not limited to this. Also in the diet must be present:

Meat. With arthrosis, it is healthier for your health to deviate from the ideals of vegetarianism. Patients cannot eat legumes, and there is no other adequate replacement for animal proteins yet.
Fish. It is an excellent source of omega fatty acids, phosphorus and calcium, which are essential for healthy joints.
Fermented milk products in all their variety will also help strengthen the joint, reducing the risk of arthrosis returning.
Fruits and vegetables, cereals are the basis of the diet. In addition to vitamins and minerals, plant foods are rich in fiber, which improves intestinal function.

For desserts, it is best to switch to honey and marmalade , eliminating other confectionery masterpieces completely.

Prohibited and harmful products

For patients with joint damage, not only sweets and legumes are harmful. It is also advisable to refuse:

alcohol;
fresh baked goods, replacing white bread with rye or cereal bread;
the whole variety of smoked, spicy or pickled food.

It's not obligatory. But such a diet will reduce the load on the digestive tract and speed up recovery.

Exercise therapy

Physiotherapy is the basis of all treatment of hip joints in the initial stages of the disease. There are 3 main methods used:

Massage. A competent specialist will help relieve pain in 10 sessions, increase joint mobility and ease the compensatory load on the spine and knees. And rubbing oils and creams while kneading the muscles will have an additional healing effect.
Hardware therapy. Almost everything is used for treatment: light, electromagnetic fields, acupuncture, heat, cold, ultrasound and other influences. Physiotherapy will never harm, and will help relieve some of the symptoms.
Physiotherapy. Normalized physical activity helps develop the joint and strengthen the muscle frame. With daily repetition of the complexes of Bubnovsky, Evdokimenko and other well-known specialists, you can independently cure coxarthrosis in the initial stages.

Before using physical therapy, it is important to consult with a specialist. Without knowing certain nuances of performing a set of exercises, you can further damage the sore joint. Therefore, instead of watching videos, it is always better to contact a physical therapy coach.
