Common Hip Conditions and How We Can Help

The hip joint plays a crucial role in movement, weight-bearing, and stability. Pain in the hip can significantly impact your ability to perform daily activities and enjoy an active lifestyle. Common hip conditions can result from wear and tear, injury, or inflammation, leading to discomfort, stiffness, and limited mobility. At our clinic, we offer comprehensive treatment options that include injections, physiotherapy, PRP, PRF, and shockwave therapy to help alleviate pain and restore function.

Common Hip Conditions and Their Symptoms

Below are some of the most common hip conditions we treat at our clinic, along with their typical symptoms:

Hip Osteoarthritis (OA)

What It Is:

Hip osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition where the cartilage in the hip joint breaks down over time, causing pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion.

Symptoms:

Trochanteric Bursitis

What It Is:

Trochanteric bursitis is inflammation of the bursa (a fluid-filled sac) on the outer side of the hip, typically caused by overuse, repetitive motion, or injury.

Symptoms:

Hip Labral Tear

What It Is:
A hip labral tear occurs when the cartilage surrounding the hip socket (labrum) is torn, often because of trauma, repetitive motions, or hip dislocation.

Symptoms:

Iliopsoas Tendonitis

What It Is:
Iliopsoas tendonitis is inflammation of the tendon of the iliopsoas muscle, which is responsible for hip flexion. It can result from overuse, repetitive flexion of the hip, or trauma.

Symptoms:

Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS)

What It Is:
GTPS refers to pain in the hip that is typically caused by inflammation of the tendons that attach to the greater trochanter (the bony prominence on the outside of the hip). This can include tendinopathies or tears of the gluteus Medius and Minimus muscles.

Symptoms:

Hip Flexor Strain

What It Is:
A hip flexor strain occurs when the muscles of the hip flexor (such as the iliopsoas) are overstretched or torn. It often results from sudden movements, heavy lifting, or sports activities.

How Our Clinic Can Help with Hip Conditions

At our clinic, we specialize in treating a variety of hip conditions with advanced, evidence-based treatments. Our approach combines injections, physiotherapy, PRP, PRF, and shockwave therapy to relieve pain, improve function, and support long-term healing.

Physiotherapy for Hip Conditions

Physiotherapy is an essential part of managing hip pain and improving mobility. Our experienced physiotherapists will work with you to develop a personalized rehabilitation plan to relieve pain, improve strength, and restore function in the hip.

Targeted Exercises: Strengthening exercises for the hip muscles, glutes, and core to improve stability and reduce strain on the hip joint.
Stretching and Flexibility: Restoring the range of motion and flexibility in the hip joint to reduce stiffness and improve movement.
Manual Therapy: Soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilizations, and other manual techniques to alleviate pain and improve function.
Posture and Movement Correction: We provide guidance on proper posture and body mechanics to prevent further strain and reduce pain.

Injections for Hip Pain Relief

Injection therapies can provide fast relief from pain and inflammation, especially in cases where conservative treatments are not enough.

Corticosteroid Injections

How It Works: Corticosteroid injections reduce inflammation and provide relief from pain, especially in conditions like hip arthritis, bursitis, and tendonitis.
Best For: Hip osteoarthritis, bursitis, iliopsoas tendonitis, and greater trochanteric pain syndrome.
Benefits: Rapid reduction of inflammation and pain, allowing for improved movement and function.

Hyaluronic Acid Injections

How It Works: Hyaluronic acid injections restore the natural lubrication in the hip joint, which can be particularly helpful for osteoarthritis patients.
Best For: Hip osteoarthritis and degenerative joint diseases.
Benefits: Reduces friction in the joint, easing pain, improving mobility, and promoting long-term joint health.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

PRP therapy utilizes your own blood to stimulate healing in the hip joint and surrounding tissues.

How It Works: A small sample of your blood is drawn, processed to concentrate platelets, and then injected into the affected area. The growth factors in the PRP promote healing, reduce inflammation, and stimulate tissue repair.
Best For: Hip labral tears, tendonitis, arthritis, and chronic hip pain that has not responded to other treatments.
Benefits:

Shockwave Therapy for Hip Conditions

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to promote healing and reduce pain.

How It Works: Acoustic waves are applied to the affected hip area to stimulate blood circulation, enhance collagen production, and encourage tissue repair. Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for chronic tendon injuries and soft tissue problems.
Best For: Greater trochanteric pain syndrome, iliopsoas tendonitis, hip flexor strain, and other chronic hip conditions.
Benefits:
