What causes hip pain?

The hip is one of the body’s largest weight-bearing joints, making it especially vulnerable to injuries, wear-and-tear, and degenerative changes over time. Because the hip relies on a complex network of bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments, even small issues can lead to significant discomfort and reduced mobility.

Common causes of hip pain treated at Hudson Specialty Care include:

• Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
• Hip labral tears
• Bursitis or tendonitis
• Hip impingement (femoroacetabular impingement)
• Muscle strains or sprains
• Fractures and dislocations
• Sciatica or nerve compression
• Referred pain from the lower back or pelvis

Hip pain can also result from overuse injuries, sports-related stress, or repetitive activities like running or prolonged sitting. Because hip pain may arise from multiple sources, an accurate diagnosis is essential for creating an effective treatment plan.

How is hip pain diagnosed?

Your evaluation begins with a detailed review of your symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history. The team performs a physical exam to assess:

• Range of motion
• Gait and balance
• Strength and stability
• Areas of tenderness or swelling

When needed, advanced diagnostic testing may include:

• X-rays to detect arthritis, fractures, or joint damage
• MRI scans to evaluate soft tissue injuries like labral tears
• Ultrasound imaging to assess tendons, ligaments, and bursae in real time
• Nerve studies are performed if symptoms suggest sciatica or nerve compression

This comprehensive approach ensures your treatment plan targets the exact source of your pain.

What treatments are available for hip pain?

Hudson Specialty Care offers a wide range of personalized treatment options based on your diagnosis, symptoms, and goals:

Regenerative Treatment Options

For patients seeking advanced, non-surgical solutions, regenerative therapies harness the body’s natural healing abilities to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and improve joint function:

• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections: Uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue repair in joints, tendons, and ligaments.
• Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) Therapy: Uses stem cells and natural growth factors extracted from bone marrow to regenerate cartilage, repair soft tissues, and support long-term recovery.
• Adipose Tissue (MFAT) Therapy: Uses micro-fragmented fat tissue, naturally rich in regenerative cells, to reduce inflammation, restore cushioning, and enhance joint stability.
• Interstitial Laser Therapy: A minimally invasive treatment that uses targeted laser energy to stimulate cellular repair and decrease inflammation.
• Shockwave Therapy: A non-invasive approach that uses sound waves to break down scar tissue, improve circulation, and relieve chronic tendon pain in the hip region.
• Ozone Therapy: Delivers medical-grade ozone gas around the hip joint to improve oxygenation, reduce inflammation, and promote natural healing.

Additional Treatment Options

• Medication management to reduce inflammation and discomfort
• Image-guided corticosteroid injections or nerve blocks for targeted relief
• Physical therapy to improve flexibility, strength, and function
• Minimally invasive procedures when conservative care isn’t enough
• Lifestyle adjustments and ergonomic strategies to prevent flare-ups

For persistent or complex cases, the team may combine regenerative therapies with other advanced techniques to achieve the best results.
