Hip ligament tear belongs to the category of “hip tendon injury” in Chinese medicine. The mechanism of the disease lies in the impassability of the tendons and collaterals, acupuncture can relieve the tendons and collaterals to relieve pain and promote the repair of the ligaments, which has a certain degree of clinical efficacy.
Acupuncture and moxibustion points are based on A-shi point (the point with obvious feeling of acidity, numbness, distension and pain) and local meridian points, such as Huanjian, Yanglingquan, Ashansanli, Blood Sea, loom, etc. According to the identification of the disease, we should use the following acupoints: diaphragm yu for the disease of stasis and blood stasis, lumbar yangguan for the disease of cold and dampness, hepatic and renal deficiency and hepatic and renal yu for kidney yu. Acupuncture is often used with Qi puncture or Yang puncture method.
Moxibustion can be localized moxa stick moxibustion, moxibustion device moxibustion, moxa cone moxibustion and so on.
Hip ligament tear should avoid excessive activities, so as not to aggravate the condition. Acupuncture treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a professional physician, not self-operation.
