Hip pain can severely limit your mobility and independence. Whether caused by arthritis, bursitis, or overuse injuries, our regenerative treatments offer real alternatives to hip replacement surgery.
Hip pain patients usually present in three patterns: (1) 35–55-year-old runners and lifters with gluteal tendinopathy or FAI-pattern pain; (2) active 55+ adults with mild-to-moderate hip osteoarthritis trying to avoid or delay replacement; and (3) post-pregnancy and pelvic-imbalance patients with chronic lateral hip pain.
Regenerative injection therapy for hip osteoarthritis has emerging evidence, with several studies showing modest pain and function improvements for mild-to-moderate disease. The data is less robust than for the knee, and we set expectations accordingly.
For mild-to-moderate hip osteoarthritis, many patients meaningfully improve with a combination of rehab, regenerative injection therapy, and load management. Severe bone-on-bone arthritis is often still best treated surgically, which we'll discuss honestly during evaluation.
Lateral hip pain is most commonly gluteus medius tendinopathy or trochanteric bursitis, often from a combination of weak hip stabilizers and high training load. Ultrasound-guided diagnosis is helpful because the treatments differ.
Symptomatic labral tears, especially with FAI, can sometimes be managed non-surgically with PRP and rehab when the tear is stable and pain is the primary complaint. We coordinate with orthopedic surgery when imaging suggests surgery is the better option.
Usually no — most patients shift to a temporary load-managed program rather than stopping completely. Cross-training and gait work are often as important as the injection.
