What Types of Hip Pain Do We Treat?

Hip pain can take many different forms, including:

Pain-in-shoulder-blades-upper-or-middle-back

Osteoarthritis

This 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.

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:

Trigger Point injections

Allow us to target pain medication to the specific parts of your muscles that lead to referred pain

What are trigger point injections?

This outpatient procedure is designed to reduce or relieve the pain of trigger points. These small, tender knots can form in muscles or in the fascia (the soft, stretchy connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs). The trigger point injection procedure takes only a few minutes to complete.

Steroid injections

we inject anti-inflammatory medication in or near damaged tissue or nerves.

What are lumbar epidural steroid injections?

This injection procedure is performed to relieve low back and radiating leg pain. Steroid medication can reduce the swelling and inflammation caused by spinal conditions.

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.

Radiofrequency Ablation

a minimally invasive procedure where we use radio waves to shrink or destroy damaged tissue

What is radiofrequency ablation of the lumbar facets?

This procedure uses heat from radio waves to treat painful facet joints in your lower back. It eases pain that isn’t helped by medications or physical therapy.

Spinal Cord Stimulation (Trial)

What is spinal cord stimulation (trial procedure)?

Spinal cord stimulation (also called SCS) uses electrical impulses to relieve chronic pain of the back, arms and legs. It is believed that electrical pulses prevent pain signals from being received by the brain. SCS candidates include people who suffer from neuropathic pain and for whom conservative treatments have failed.
