Hip Pain
Regenerative therapy may help support healing for hip arthritis, labral tears, and other hip conditions.
Understanding Hip Pain
The hip is a major weight-bearing joint essential for walking, sitting, and most daily activities. Hip pain can significantly impact quality of life and independence.
Hip conditions often progress over time, and traditional treatments may provide temporary relief without addressing the underlying joint damage. Regenerative therapy offers an approach that aims to support the body's natural healing processes.
Hip injections are performed under image guidance to ensure accurate delivery of stem cells to the hip joint.
Common Symptoms
- Groin pain that may radiate to the thigh
- Stiffness in the hip joint
- Difficulty walking or limping
- Pain when getting up from sitting
- Reduced range of motion
- Pain that worsens with activity
Common Causes
Hip Pain can stem from various conditions affecting the joint, tendons, or surrounding soft tissues.
Hip Osteoarthritis
Progressive degeneration of the cartilage in the hip joint, leading to bone-on-bone friction, pain, and stiffness.
Labral Tears
Damage to the ring of cartilage (labrum) that lines the hip socket and helps stabilize the joint.
Trochanteric Bursitis
Inflammation of the bursa on the outside of the hip, causing lateral hip pain especially when lying on that side.
Hip Impingement (FAI)
Abnormal contact between the ball and socket of the hip, often causing pain and early arthritis.
Regenerative Therapy for Hip Pain
Hip joint injections deliver mesenchymal stem cells directly into the joint space. The deep location of the hip joint requires image guidance for safe and accurate injection.
This minimally invasive approach may offer an alternative to hip replacement surgery for appropriate candidates, though it is not intended to replace surgery when surgery is medically necessary.
Recovery involves a gradual return to activity with specific guidelines to support healing.
