Hip Pain Q & A

What causes hip pain?

Occasional hip pain can be a side effect of muscle strains from exercise or other strenuous activity. When hip pain is chronic and lasts six months or more, it may be a sign of underlying issues such as:

Bursitis
Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Neuropathy (nerve damage)

Summit Orthopaedics offers nonsurgical solutions and surgical treatments to address the root cause of hip pain. The medical specialists focus on the least invasive treatment to provide lasting pain relief, so you can stay mobile and active.

Consultations are available for adults and children in-office and through online video conferencing.

Which nonsurgical therapies are available for hip pain?

Summit Orthopaedics offers comprehensive evaluations that include a physical exam and diagnostic imaging tests of your hip joint.

If you have a hip injury or early-stage arthritis, the medical experts may recommend nonsurgical solutions like:

Weight loss
Cortisone injections
Anti-inflammatory medications
Use of a cane or other assistive device

You may benefit from exercises that target the hip joint to improve its strength and flexibility. If you have a hip injury, the team might also refer you to a physical therapist to support your recovery and minimize your risk of further damage to your hip joint.

When would I need surgery for hip pain?

Surgery is typically a last resort for chronic hip pain that’s not manageable with other therapies.

Summit Orthopaedics offers several hip surgeries, including:

Hip arthroscopy

Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery to repair tissue tears, reposition the hip joint, or treat hip impingement. The procedure requires only small incisions that heal quickly to minimize downtime.

Hip replacement

Hip replacement surgery is an effective treatment for advanced arthritis that damages the hip joint. The goal of surgery is to remove part or all of your hip joint and replace it with artificial devices that function like your natural joint.

Hip revision

Hip revision surgery is available for individuals who experience complications from a previous hip replacement. During a revision procedure, the team can replace worn implants or correct damage that results from infection or an injury.
