Acupuncture for hip fracture recovery

After a hip fracture, the goal is to move again — safely and with less pain. Acupuncture supports recovery alongside your medical care.

Understanding it

A hip fracture is a serious injury, most common in older adults after a fall, and recovery is as much about regaining mobility as healing the bone. It's managed medically — but the rehab that follows is where quality of life returns.

Acupuncture has a supportive role here: managing pain with fewer medications, easing the muscle guarding around the hip, and supporting the active rehab that restores movement.

What we see

Symptoms we treat

If any of these sound like your experience, acupuncture is worth a conversation. This isn't a diagnosis — your first visit is.

01
Hip & groin pain
Ongoing pain around the hip during recovery.
02
Difficulty bearing weight
Pain and hesitation loading the leg.
03
Muscle guarding
Tight, protective tension around the hip and thigh.
04
Reduced mobility
Stiffness limiting walking, sitting and stairs.
05
Deconditioning
Weakness from a period of reduced activity.
06
Sleep disruption
Pain that interferes with rest and recovery.
How it helps

Why acupuncture works here

Three layers at once — local, segmental, and central — chosen for what your body is asking for.

Releases the source
Needling eases the muscle guarding and improves circulation around the healing hip, supporting recovery.
Calms the nerve
Acupuncture helps manage pain — often reducing reliance on medication during rehab.
Restores movement
We coordinate with kinesiology so mobility and strength return safely and steadily.
What to expect

From first visit to plan

Every patient gets the same unhurried four-beat rhythm — the first visit includes a complimentary consultation.

01
Consultation
We listen, palpate, and map the pattern — not just where it hurts, but why.
02
Treatment plan
A course of care that fits your pattern. You're never locked in; we re-assess each visit.
03
Treatment
Gentle needling, often with cupping or electro-acupuncture. Most patients deeply relax.
04
Aftercare
Simple homecare and what to expect next. We coordinate with RMT or kinesiology when it helps.
