Sorry about your hip pain. You couldcheck out Rin Spine Center, which is closed to Central Station. Great reviews on Google. Provided your insurance policy covers chiropractic, you鈥檒l be able to pay up front and use their receipt to claim back. Also, check whether Prudence require you to get a referral letter from a GP before seeing a chiropractor. Best of luck

Canossa Hospital in the Mid-levels has a Spine Center. It's a very well established hospital but I am not sure about how good the spine center is. We had three children born there so we know the place is or was popular with expats.

I've had spinal surgery myself (slipped disc) in Malaysia and I know people who have had back problems so it's definitely worth getting it checked out properly because back pain can be awful.

I'd had acupuncture before on an ankle problem after a motorbike accident (in Taiwan) and from my experience the pain relief was only short lived. But it might be worth giving it a try. However, I'm a strong advocate of getting it checked out properly in a proper hospital.
