Whether it be from old age or repetitive use, there comes a time when hip pain can hinder daily life. Excruciating or consistent pain in the hip joints can make it difficult to walk, stand, or turn on command. When this happens, there are a multitude of hip treatment options to restore comfort and functionality. Learn more about your available treatment options before scheduling a consultation with Orthopaedic Medical Group of Winter Haven.
Common Causes of Hip Pain
Hip pain may arise from various conditions, including:
- Osteoarthritis: A degenerative joint disease causing stiffness and inflammation.
- Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the hip joint.
- Tendonitis: Irritation or inflammation of the tendons around the hip.
- Labral Tears: Damage to the cartilage lining the hip socket.
- Hip Fractures: More common in older adults due to weakened bones.
At-Home Treatment Methods
Hip pain typically starts small and becomes a bigger issue when ignored. The best way to prevent injury and worsened pain in this state is to act fast, often beginning with at-home care. Common non-surgical options include:
- Physical Therapy: Strengthening exercises and stretching can improve joint stability and reduce discomfort.
- Medications: Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen can help alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.
- Corticosteroid Injections: These injections offer temporary relief by reducing inflammation in the joint.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: PRP injections use concentrated platelets from your own blood to promote healing and reduce inflammation.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Weight management, low-impact exercises, and activity adjustments can reduce strain on the hip.

Surgical Treatment Options
If non-surgical methods are ineffective, your orthopedic specialist may recommend surgery. Common surgical options include:
- Arthroscopy: A minimally invasive procedure that repairs torn cartilage or removes loose fragments in the joint.
- Total Hip Replacement: For severe arthritis or joint damage, this procedure replaces the damaged joint with a prosthetic implant.
