Would either one of these help muscle pain the hip?
Bursitis?
Spent about 6 weeks dealing with this. Couldn't climb stairs, trouble walking and pain making it difficult to sleep. Eating aspirin and tylenol like candy.
Had a yearly physical scheduled and told the doc about it. Doc is an ex-jock and showed me how to stretch the IT band. Had me cussing up a storm on the exam table. He said PT is the only way. He deals with it himself.
Said he is not real keen on the aspirin/Tylenol because of liver and stomach lining issues (Internal medicine doc) and try to limit them as much as you can stand, do the stretches 4x daily and alternate at night between IcyHot and Voltaren gel.
Gave me a steroid shot which helped after a few days, but those are not given frequently.
Look up IT band syndrome on the internet to learn the stretches. Hurts like hell, but you gotta do what ya gotta do.
He also told me that I was probably firing too much on my right side during my golf swing.

I go tomorrow for my 2nd treatment. The first time was pretty cool when pain disappeared and my anxiety chilled out

I don’t think I’ll ever believe this is legit.
I don’t care what literature you show me. Nope, Bull shite.

Dry needling is acupuncture. Or so says my PT. I tried it and was the best decision I could make. 3 treatments and my back pain was reduced to a fraction of what it was. And I was skeptical.
Must use new sterile needles.
I’ll do it again, probably on my shoulder

The VA does dry needle now in the Physical Therapist office.
I like it.

It didn't have any effect on my lower back pain. Neither did dry needling. I also tried Gua Sha at the suggestion of my chiropractor and that also had no effect other than the fact it was extremely painful and I looked like I had just been whipped by the Taliban when I was done. I think it just depends on the cause of the pain and also the skill of the practitioner.
I've spent thousands at this point and still haven't gotten to the bottom of it. Oddly enough, the one thing that has helped a little bit (other than the good drugs) is KT tape. It's probably placebo as well as I still haven't found a good explanation for how it works, but it does seem to help a little bit.

It’s certainly possible but I’m no expert. Just relaying information.
But if your over 35 and overweight you might also consider hip joint inflammation as the source of pain and Glucosamine pills help with joint pain.
