I even use KT tape for sciatica. Search for youtube videos for the body part you need to tape. Works great. For hip, though, it turns out mine is piriformis syndrome/sciatica and the right stretches will keep you from returning over and over for the shots. I had a manual PT, Rocabado trained. Online, Dr Jo is great and she has a lot of videos for each body part. ice/heat, daily walk help
