How To Treat Pain In Hip?

My left hip hurts when I stand in one place or walk. I feels like cramps in the extreme left upper part of my hip. It also hurts at the same time in the front of my upper leg. I have scoliosis but not severe and have been told my left leg is 2 inches shorter than my right. Is there some therapy that will fix this problem?
