Hip Pointer Treatment and Rehabilitation
Hip pointer treatment
Hip pointers get better on their own with rest, ice, and compression. While it heals, you might still be able to play sports by wearing a protective pad over your hip.
For more severe hip pointer injuries, you may need to use crutches.
Recovery time for a hip pointer varies from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the severity.
Hip pointer rehab
If needed after hip pointer treatment, rehab may consist of stretches and muscle strengthening exercises around your hip.
You might also need gait training if you have to use crutches for an extended period.
