Are You Dealing With Hip Pain?

Osteoarthritis of the Hip

Osteoarthritis (OA) in the hip joint is a degenerative condition where cartilage wears down, leading to pain, swelling, and reduced range of motion. This can make activities like walking and bending increasingly difficult.

Total Hip Replacement

Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA), or total hip replacement, involves surgically replacing damaged hip cartilage and bone with prosthetic components. It’s often recommended for those with severe arthritis or hip damage to alleviate pain and restore function.

Piriformis Syndrome

Piriformis syndrome occurs when the piriformis muscle, in the buttock region, irritates the sciatic nerve, often causing pain in the gluteal region that may radiate into the hip and leg.
