It is not uncommon for patients to report hip pain. However, in most cases, the back is the actual cause of the pain. If this is not recognized, treatment cannot be successful. The most common cause of hip pain is a blockage in the sacroiliac joint, which causes pelvic distortion that radiates to the groin and sometimes to the leg. However, wear and tear of the hip joint in various stages and degrees, as well as impingement syndromes, strains on the inner thigh, or a hernia can also cause the pain.
Through clinical examinations, tests, and ultrasound diagnosis, we determine the cause of the symptoms. If osteoarthritis is the cause, we inject cortisone at the beginning of the treatment to reduce the inflammation and relieve the acute pain.
We then administer around six injections of blood plasma, followed by various hyaluronic acid preparations. We have various types of hyaluronic acid with different molecular weights in graduated concentrations at our disposal, which we use in continuous consultation with the patient to achieve the best possible treatment results.
Once the orthopedic treatment has been successfully completed, the patient can—depending on the findings and cause—actively contribute to maintaining the long-term success of the treatment by doing their own exercises. The physiotherapy team at our practice is available for this purpose and can be seamlessly integrated into the individual (follow-up) treatment upon request.
