Hip Pain
Treatment

Hip pain affects everything-walking, sitting, sleeping. Our regenerative treatments can restore your mobility and reduce pain without surgery.

Understanding Hip Pain Location

Where Is Your Pain?

True hip joint pain is usually felt in the groin or front of the thigh-not on the side. If your pain is on the outside of your hip, it's often bursitis or from the gluteal tendons. Pain in the buttock may come from the SI joint or be referred from your spine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, many causes of hip pain respond well to regenerative treatments. PRP and The Regenokine® Program can repair damaged cartilage, reduce inflammation, and restore hip function-helping patients avoid or delay hip replacement surgery.

True hip joint pain is usually felt in the groin or front of the thigh, not on the outside of the hip. Pain on the outside of the hip is often bursitis. Pain in the buttock may be from the SI joint or referred from the spine.

Studies show PRP can provide significant relief and improved function for hip osteoarthritis, with effects that may last 6-12 months. It’s most effective for mild-to-moderate arthritis before bone-on-bone contact develops.

Hip injections are performed using ultrasound guidance to ensure precise placement of the regenerative material into the joint. The procedure takes about 30-45 minutes and you can walk out of the office afterward.
