Natural remedies for hip pain IMPORTANT: Hip pain can have various causes, from trochanteric bursitis and tendinitis to osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Natural remedies help with mild to moderate cases. If pain is constant, wakes you at night, limits your walking, or appears suddenly after trauma, consult an orthopedic doctor.
