Hip Injections
Hip Injections at Southern Coast Spine & Pain Specialists
If you’re experiencing persistent hip pain due to conditions like arthritis, bursitis, or injury, hip injections may offer effective relief. These injections are designed to reduce pain and inflammation, improve mobility, and potentially delay or avoid the need for surgery.
Conditions Treated with Hip Injections
Hip injections can help manage pain caused by a variety of conditions, including:
- Osteoarthritis: Degeneration of the joint cartilage.
- Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the hip.
- Hip Labral Tears: Damage to the cartilage in the hip socket.
- Tendonitis: Inflammation of tendons around the hip joint.
- Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction: Pain stemming from the sacroiliac joint, where the spine meets the pelvis.
Benefits of Hip Injections
Targeted Pain Relief: By injecting medication directly into the joint, hip injections provide more effective relief than oral medications.
Reduced Inflammation: The corticosteroid helps to reduce inflammation, allowing for greater comfort and mobility.
Non-Surgical Option: For many patients, hip injections can delay or even eliminate the need for surgery.
Improved Mobility: Patients often experience increased range of motion and a reduction in pain, allowing them to participate in daily activities more easily.
Is Hip Injection Right for You?
Hip injections can be an excellent treatment option for those who experience chronic hip pain and have not found relief through more conservative methods like physical therapy or medications. Your physician will discuss your symptoms and medical history to determine if a hip injection is appropriate for your condition.
