Hip Pain Q&A
What causes hip pain?
Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of chronic hip pain. Other forms of arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and septic arthritis, can also lead to severe long-term hip pain.
There are many other possible causes of hip pain, including sports injuries (particularly in high-impact sports), pinched nerves, cancer, osteoporosis, and bone infection, among others. If you’re having persistent hip pain, the team at Cascade Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Center, P.C., can find the reason and recommend a personalized treatment plan for you.
Does hip pain always require hip replacement surgery?
Hip replacement surgery can sometimes be the best solution for chronic hip pain. However, many people respond very favorably to nonsurgical care, especially in the earlier stages of arthritis.
If you’re wondering about hip replacement surgery for your hip pain, the first step is a consultation with the team at Cascade Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Center, P.C. Your provider reviews your medical history, examines your hips, and analyzes X-ray images.
In most cases, even with more advanced arthritis and significant hip pain, the team starts with nonsurgical treatments. This typically includes:
- Regular exercise
- Bracing
- Medication
- Steroid injections
- Regenerative therapies
- Physical therapy
- Medication management
- Weight loss, if needed
Then, if your hip pain persists, your provider may recommend hip replacement surgery. They give you all the information you need to make a treatment choice and then provide steadfast support throughout your treatment process.
