Managing Hip Joint Pain

Diagnosing the cause of your pain

When you arrive at Pain Relief Institute to be assessed for Hip Pain, our first step will be to determine exactly what’s causing your hip pain. Although hip pain is often complex and frequently involving the lower back and surrounding tendons and joints we aim to get the precise diagnosis. Through a thorough assessment we can save you time and relieve your pain as quickly as possible.

To begin, we’ll ask you questions about your symptoms, including activities that improve or worsen the discomfort and how long you’ve been experiencing your hip pain. From there, we’ll perform an extensive hands-on physical examination, during which we will test your range of motion and look for areas that are painful or swollen. Often times we will also perform X-rays to see if there are arthritic changes that have taken place and how severe they may be. Depending on our findings, we may also order additional imaging tests, such as MRI or ultrasound to check for joint space and cartilage thickness, or an ultrasound to visualize soft tissues, muscles, tendons and bursitis.
