Diagnosis & Evaluation
Hip pain is easy to misread, because the lower back, the pelvis and the tendons around the hip all send pain to the same places.

Every hip treatment, one specialist
What does a hip specialist treat?
A hip specialist diagnoses and treats problems of the hip joint and the tendons around it: arthritis, labral tears, impingement, hip dysplasia, tendon tears, bursitis and fractures. Treatment ranges from physical therapy and injections to hip arthroscopy, joint-preserving osteotomy and total, outpatient or revision hip replacement.

Non-Surgical Care
Most hip pain improves without an operation, and every plan here starts there.
Injections & Orthobiologics
The hip joint sits deep beneath thick muscle, so accuracy matters.
Hip Arthroscopy & Preservation
For runners, golfers, dancers and athletes in their teens to 40s, the hip often hurts because of its shape rather than wear.
Hip Replacement
A new hip makes sense once arthritis has moved past what therapy, medication and injections can fix.
Fracture & Tendon Surgery
A broken hip and a hamstring tendon pulled off the sit bone both heal far better when they are treated within days.
