Hip

Hip pain is one of the most debilitating orthopedic ailments often limiting one’s ability to perform simple tasks such as climbing stairs or walking. 

Our doctors have extensive experience treating osteoarthritis or the wear and tear of the hip joints.   We often prescribe physical therapy, RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevate) treatment principles or medications which can help reduce symptoms of swelling, pain and stiffness.

If you have experienced a hip injury, our doctors are also fellowship-trained in sports medicine and can diagnose and treat all types of traumatic hip injuries that cause significant pain or instability.
