Why Do People Often Experience Hip Pain?

Although hip pain is often felt directly in the hip, it can also show up as pain in the groin, thigh, or even the knee, which may still be linked to a problem in the hip joint—such as injury, degeneration, or inflammation.
Common causes of hip pain include:

Traumatic accident

Accidents may include motor vehicle accidents, slips and falls and workplace accidents.

Sports-related injuries

Such injuries often include: impact injuries, degenerative injuries, and wear and tear.

Degenerative Conditions

Pain can be related to disease or infection, including arthritis.

Overexertion

Pain can result from walking, squatting and bending.

Structural issues

Examples include hip displaysia or labral tears.

What Types of Hip Pain Do We Treat?

Hip pain can take many different forms, including:

ostearthritis

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis in the hip is an aching pain in your groin or at the back or side of your hip, due to loss of cartilage to cushion your bones. This can typically lead to stiffness, limited range of motion, or grinding or popping when you move your hips.
Bursitis

Bursitis

Hip bursitis is a discomfort on the side of your hip, usually greater when you’ve been engaged in repetitive motion. Often the result of an old injury, bursitis can also make your hips tender to the touch.

Hip-impingement

Hip impingement

Hip impingement is usually felt in the groin or outer hip, particularly when you are squatting or twisting your hips.

Sacro-iliac-Joint-Pain

Sacro-iliac Joint Pain

Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction can be a hidden source of pain that is often felt in or near the hips, mimicking hip joint problems and making it an important consideration in diagnosing pelvic or lower back pain.

Tears

Tears

Tears in the labrum or cartilage at the outer edge of the hip socket often manifest with persistent pain in your groin, thigh or buttocks, typically when you sit down.
Spondylitis

Spondylitis

Spondylitis is a type of systemic arthritis characterized by pain in the lower back, buttocks and hip that radiates to your knees and even your ankles

Connective-or-Soft-tissue-Injury

Connective or Soft-tissue Injury

Connective or soft-tissue injury includes muscle pain, tendonitis or sprained/strained ligaments.

What Can Pain Management Specialists of New York Do to Alleviate Your Pain?

When treating patients with hip pain, we start with a comprehensive review of your medical history, as well as a thorough medical exam, so that we can pinpoint the source of your pain. Though we don’t believe that medication is an effective long-term solution to chronic pain, we can prescribe painkillers or anti-inflammatories to provide short-term relief. We also understand the ways that physical therapy and chiropractic care can help reduce pain and will often recommend those forms of treatment.

If you need further treatment to effectively manage your pain, we offer:

Platelet Rich Plasma Injections

A cutting-edge process that uses platelets from your own blood to promote tissue regeneration and healing

What are platelet rich plasma injections?

Platelet rich plasma therapy can help injured joints and other problems. It uses parts of your own blood to reduce pain and speed up healing.

Sacroiliac Joint Steroid Injection

What is a sacroiliac steroid injection?

This injection procedure is performed to relieve pain caused by arthritis in the sacroiliac joint where the spine and hip bone meet. The steroid medication can reduce swelling and inflammation in the joint.

Microdiscectomy of the lumbar spine

What is microdiscectomy of the lumbar spine?

This surgery, done through a tiny opening in your skin, treats a bulging or herniated disc in your lower back. It relieves pressure on nearby nerves. This can help with pain and other symptoms you may be experiencing in your back, buttock, leg and foot.

Discectomy / decompression

What is discectomy or decompression?

This is a procedure to treat a herniated disc. That’s a bulging disc in your spine. Getting rid of the bulge can relieve pressure on your nerves. It can relieve pain in your lower back and your legs.

If these forms of treatment don’t successfully alleviate your hip pain, we can refer you to an orthopedic surgeon.
