Your Questions Answered 

Hip Pain Treatment Q&A

What is causing my hip pain?

Hip pain can be caused by arthritis, labral tears, bursitis, muscle strain, or structural issues like femoroacetabular impingement. A proper diagnosis requires a physical exam and imaging when needed. 

What are other symptoms of hip conditions in addition to hip pain?

In addition to pain, hip conditions can cause stiffness or a reduced range of motion, making it difficult to walk, stand, or move comfortably. Some patients experience pain in the groin, outer hip, or lower back, depending on the underlying issue. You may also notice clicking, locking, or instability in the joint. Symptoms often worsen with activity or may become more noticeable at night. 

How is hip pain treated at LBJI?

Hip pain treatment at LBJI depends on the cause and severity of your condition. Many patients may improve with non-surgical options like physical therapy, medications, or injections, while more advanced cases may require minimally invasive procedures or hip replacement. Your care plan is designed to relieve pain, restore mobility, and help you return to daily activities safely. 

What happens during minimally invasive surgery for hip pain?

Minimally invasive hip surgery uses small incisions and specialized instruments to treat damage within the joint. Your surgeon may repair or remove damaged tissue, such as a torn labrum or inflamed structures, depending on the condition. This approach is designed to reduce pain, minimize recovery time, and help you return to normal activity more quickly. 

What is total hip replacement?

A total hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which a damaged hip joint is removed and replaced with a prosthetic implant designed to restore smooth, natural movement. It is typically recommended for advanced arthritis or severe joint damage when other treatments are no longer effective. The goal is to relieve pain, improve mobility, and help you return to daily activities with greater comfort.
