A stronger hip — without an operation.
Labral tears, gluteal tendinopathy, bursitis, arthritis — get the diagnosis right first, because each one calls for a different plan.
Half of “hip arthritis” isn't arthritis
Hip pain gets blamed on arthritis by default, when the real culprit is often a frayed labrum, an angry gluteal tendon or an inflamed bursa — each with its own fix. Treat the wrong one and nothing improves.
Our exam-room ultrasound — backed by a confirming pass of diagnostic focused shockwave — settles the question, and image-guided regenerative treatment goes exactly where the answer points, protecting your stride, your training and your nights of unbroken sleep.
Hip conditions we treat
No two of these share a protocol — the diagnosis decides everything that follows.
Hip osteoarthritis
Cartilage wear and joint ache, mild through moderate.
Labral tears
Groin pain, catching and stiffness from a torn labrum.
Gluteal tendinopathy
Outer-hip pain that flares when you lie on that side.
Trochanteric bursitis
An inflamed bursa over the point of the hip.
How we treat the hip
The order matters as much as the menu — therapies are sequenced to your specific diagnosis.
Keeping the operating room in reserve
Surgery keeps its place in the toolbox — at the back, where it belongs until the biology has had its chance.
Common questions about hip treatment
Does hip arthritis always end in a replacement?
No. Mild-to-moderate hips frequently gain lasting comfort and function from regenerative treatment. Once a hip is truly bone-on-bone, a replacement may serve you better — and you'll hear that from us directly, not after three rounds of injections.
Why does the outside of my hip hurt in bed?
That pattern is classic for gluteal tendinopathy or bursitis rather than the joint itself — and both respond to targeted treatment far better than to repeat cortisone.
What does the procedure feel like?
In-office, local anesthetic, ultrasound on the whole time. Most patients rate it far easier than they expected.
