Hip pain can make everyday activities—from walking to sitting—uncomfortable or even unbearable. Whether caused by injury, arthritis, overuse, or a structural issue, finding the proper treatment to restore function and relieve discomfort is essential. At Allied Spine Institute, we specialize in personalized, non-surgical, and surgical solutions to help you regain mobility and live pain-free.
Common Causes of Hip Pain
Hip pain originates from the area where the femur meets the pelvis and can result from:
- Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Hip Bursitis or Tendonitis
- Nerve Compression (e.g., Sciatica)
- Injuries (Strains, Sprains, Fractures)
- Developmental or Structural Issues
- Overuse or Repetitive Motion
- Fibromyalgia or Inflammatory Conditions
- Pregnancy-Related Changes
Symptoms can appear in the hip, groin, buttocks, or down the leg. A complete diagnosis may require physical exams, X-rays, MRIs, or ultrasound imaging.
Non-Surgical Hip Pain Treatments
We prioritize non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments tailored to the root cause of your pain:
1. Physical Therapy
Targeted rehabilitation exercises help strengthen the hip, reduce stiffness, and improve balance. Low-impact activities like swimming and stretching are highly effective, especially for arthritic conditions.
2. Corticosteroid Injections
Steroid injections provide fast relief by reducing inflammation in the hip joint. Often performed under imaging guidance, these injections combine a local anesthetic and corticosteroid for targeted pain management.
3. Acupuncture
This ancient treatment uses fine needles to stimulate nerve endings, reduce pain, and improve circulation. Acupuncture can support traditional therapies for chronic hip pain, arthritis, and soft tissue inflammation.
4. RICE Therapy (At-Home)
- Rest: Limit activities that worsen pain
- Ice: Apply 10–15 minutes several times a day
- Compression: Use wraps to reduce swelling
- Elevation: Keep the hip elevated when resting
For mild injuries and flare-ups, RICE remains a first-line treatment.
Advanced Interventional Procedures for Hip Pain
When conservative care isn’t enough, our interventional pain specialists offer minimally invasive procedures:
– Nerve Blocks & Ablation
Nerve blocks temporarily numb pain signals from irritated or compressed nerves (e.g., the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and the sciatic nerve), while radiofrequency ablation (RFA) provides longer-term relief by deactivating these nerves with heat.
Surgical Hip Pain Treatments
Surgery may be considered for severe hip conditions that do not respond to conservative care.
1. Hip Arthroscopy
A minimally invasive surgical technique used to treat conditions like labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), and cartilage damage. A small camera (arthroscope) is inserted through tiny incisions to visualize and repair internal hip structures.
2. Hip Replacement (Arthroplasty)
For patients with advanced arthritis or irreversible joint damage, hip replacement surgery offers long-term relief. The damaged joint is replaced with a prosthetic implant to restore range of motion and eliminate chronic pain.
