Overview
Understanding Hip Pain
Hip pain can manifest in various ways, affecting the hip joint and surrounding areas. Whether it's discomfort on the surface, deeper within the joint, or radiating to the lower back or groin, our team is equipped to diagnose and treat a wide range of hip conditions.
Common Causes of Hip Pain
- Arthritis: Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can contribute to hip pain, leading to symptoms such as swelling and stiffness.
- Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac around the hip joint, can result in hip bursitis and cause localized pain.
- Injuries: Traumatic incidents, sports-related injuries, and repetitive strain injuries can lead to hip muscle strains, labral tears, and fractures.
- Structural Conditions: Some individuals may have congenital or developmental conditions, such as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), impacting the hip's shape.
Treatment Approaches
- Non-Surgical Options: For mild cases, we may recommend lifestyle modifications, physiotherapy, and medications to manage hip pain effectively.
- Minimally Invasive Procedures: Advanced techniques, including hip arthroscopy, allow our surgeons to address specific hip conditions with smaller incisions, promoting quicker recovery.
- Hip Replacement Surgery: In cases of severe arthritis, hip replacement surgery may be recommended to replace the damaged joint with a prosthetic implant, relieving pain and restoring function.
- Physiotherapy: Tailored exercises and therapies focus on strengthening hip muscles, improving range of motion, and enhancing overall hip function.
- Pain Management: Innovative pain relief methods, including injections and medications, are utilized to alleviate hip discomfort and enhance mobility.

General (FAQ) For Hip
Common hip problems that may require treatment include osteoarthritis, hip bursitis, hip labral tears, hip fractures, and hip dysplasia.
A hip replacement, or hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure where the damaged or arthritic hip joint is replaced with an artificial joint. It is often necessary when severe hip pain and loss of function cannot be managed with non-surgical treatments.
