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. Our clinic is conveniently located near Mesa in Chandler, AZ, offering patients from Mesa access to advanced, non-surgical treatment options.
Most Mesa residents reach our office in 15–25 minutes via the US-60 Superstition Freeway or the Loop 202, depending on which side of the city they live on. Mesa patients tend to fall into two groups for us: active 55+ adults from East Mesa managing osteoarthritis and looking to delay joint replacement, and 30–50-year-old hikers and mountain bikers dealing with overuse injuries from the Usery and Hawes trail systems.
Hiking and trail running at Usery Mountain Regional Park and the Hawes Trail System, road and gravel cycling on the Bush Highway, golf at Las Sendas and Longbow, and major spring training activity at Sloan Park (Cubs) and Hohokam Stadium (Athletics). East Mesa has a strong active-55+ community organized around Las Sendas and Red Mountain Ranch.
We regularly see patients from Las Sendas, Eastmark, Red Mountain Ranch, Dobson Ranch, and Downtown Mesa.
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.
Patients from Mesa benefit from a short drive (about 15 minutes) to our Chandler clinic for comprehensive hip pain care.
Hip pain in runners is most often gluteal tendinopathy or FAI-pattern impingement; mileage and surface modification are part of the plan.
Deep squat and lunge irritation often points to FAI or labral involvement, and benefits from mechanics work alongside any injection.
Trail-leg hip pain through the swing is common in 50+ golfers and frequently responds to a combination of mobility work and intra-articular injection.
Long rides commonly aggravate gluteal and lateral hip pain; saddle position and cleat alignment are often part of the workup.
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.
We treat the underlying problem, not just symptoms.
Your treatment plan is based on what works, not what's covered.
