Why does my hip hurt?

The answer may not be simple. A long list of conditions can cause hip pain. Each kind of injury requires treatment by doctors and therapists who specialize in treating the hip—and in the specific injury you've experienced.

Providing an accurate diagnosis for hip pain can be a challenging task. Our team specializes in hip conditions and can pinpoint the problem and recommend options to relieve pain and restore your mobility in an efficient way.

Our providers come from a wide range of specialties, but collaboratively they are able to address a wide array of hip problems that you may be suffering from. Working together as a team, they will diagnose your hip condition and find the most effective ways to treat and relieve your pain.

Here's how our team may diagnose your pain:

1. You will have an appointment with a provider who specializes in the hip.
2. You may have an x-ray with specific views that will help your medical team determine the cause of your pain.
3. You may have advanced imaging, such as an MRI or CT scan, to further evaluate the structure of your hip.
4. You may require strategic injections into the hip, guided by ultrasound, to better determine the source of your pain.

All of these tools will be used in ways that are specially designed to diagnose the hip. This is the key to getting an accurate diagnosis.
