Hip pain usually starts gradually, so you might not even realize there’s a problem at first. But the earlier you recognize and treat a hip problem, the more effective your treatment can be and the lower the chances you’ll need major surgery like a hip joint replacement.
Some early warning signs of hip problem include:
All of these issues are possible signs of chronic hip problems, so it’s best to reach out to OmniSpine Pain Management promptly if any of these issues sound familiar.
Many people think hip pain is part of aging, but it’s actually tied to an underlying injury, disease, or condition. The most common causes of hip pain include:
Hip pain can also come from the back. A problem that causes lower back pain, for example, a herniated disc, can lead to radiating pain that moves down one hip and leg (sciatica).
OmniSpine Pain Management offers comprehensive hip pain management. All treatments are noninvasive or minimally invasive with little or no recovery time required. Some of the conservative treatments you might need include physical therapy, chiropractic care, and acupuncture.
Hip joint injections, like anesthetics and corticosteroids, can lessen inflammation and prevent pain signaling. Restorative cellular injections, like platelet-rich plasma (PRP), can reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and trigger tissue repair in and around the hip joint.
Longer-lasting pain relief treatments for severe chronic hip pain include radiofrequency ablation (rhizotomy) that creates a heat lesion to deactivate the nerve triggering the pain.
