Your Guide to Hip Care and Treatment
Comprehensive Treatment for Hip Pain and Mobility Issues
Hip pain and mobility problems can limit everyday activities, work, and athletic performance. OrthoTexas provides comprehensive care for both acute injuries and chronic hip conditions, using a full range of conservative and surgical treatment options. Our specialists routinely evaluate symptoms such as groin pain, stiffness, clicking or catching sensations, and limited range of motion. With early diagnosis, advanced imaging, and individualized treatment plans, OrthoTexas helps patients relieve pain, improve mobility, and return to an active, comfortable lifestyle.
Conditions We Treat
OrthoTexas treats a wide range of hip conditions affecting patients of all ages and activity levels, from athletes with mechanical hip pain to individuals managing chronic degenerative disease. Our fellowship-trained hip specialists diagnose and manage both common and complex hip disorders using evidence-based care tailored to each patient’s anatomy, lifestyle, and goals. The conditions below represent key areas of hip expertise and will ultimately link to dedicated pages for deeper education and treatment options.
Hip Labral Tears
Injuries to the hip labrum can cause pain, clicking, catching, or a feeling of instability, particularly during twisting or athletic movements.
Hip Impingement
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) occurs when abnormal bone contact in the hip joint leads to pain, reduced motion, and progressive cartilage or labral damage over time.
Hip Arthritis
Degeneration of the hip joint can result in chronic pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and difficulty with walking, standing, or daily activities.
Bursitis & Tendonitis
Inflammatory conditions such as trochanteric bursitis and gluteal tendonitis often cause lateral hip pain and discomfort with movement or pressure.
Hip Strains & Soft Tissue Injuries
Muscle strains and soft tissue injuries may occur from sports, overuse, or sudden movements, leading to pain, weakness, and limited function.
Snapping Hip Syndrome
This condition involves tendons moving over bony structures in the hip, creating snapping or popping sensations that may or may not be painful.
Hip Fractures & Trauma
High-impact injuries, falls, or accidents can cause hip fractures or traumatic damage requiring prompt evaluation and specialized orthopedic care.
Developmental & Structural Hip Conditions
Anatomical variations such as hip dysplasia can affect joint stability and mechanics, particularly in younger or active patients, and may require specialized management.
Sports-Related Hip Injuries
Pain originating from the spine or surrounding structures may be felt in the hip region and requires careful evaluation to guide treatment.
Referred Hip Pain
Pain originating from the spine or surrounding structures may be felt in the hip region and requires careful evaluation to guide treatment.
Post-Surgical Hip Conditions
Patients may need ongoing care for stiffness, weakness, or discomfort following prior hip surgery or injury.
Hip Treatments and Procedures
OrthoTexas offers a comprehensive range of hip treatments designed to relieve pain, restore movement, and protect long-term joint health. As a leader in both hip preservation and hip replacement, OrthoTexas emphasizes conservative care whenever appropriate while providing advanced surgical options when needed. Fellowship-trained hip specialists use modern techniques, advanced imaging, and coordinated rehabilitation to tailor treatment plans based on each patient’s condition, activity level, and goals.
Non-Surgical Hip Treatments
Many hip conditions improve with non-surgical care such as physical therapy, activity modification, anti-inflammatory medications, gait training, and targeted rehabilitation programs focused on improving strength, flexibility, and joint mechanics.
Image-Guided Hip Injections
Ultrasound-guided hip injections are used to deliver medication precisely to the joint or surrounding structures. These injections can help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and clarify the source of symptoms during the diagnostic process.
Hip Arthroscopy
Minimally invasive hip arthroscopy allows surgeons to repair labral tears, address femoroacetabular impingement, and treat cartilage injuries through small incisions, often resulting in less tissue disruption and faster recovery.
Hip Preservation
Hip preservation procedures focus on correcting structural abnormalities and joint mechanics to relieve pain and slow the progression of arthritis, helping younger or active patients avoid or delay joint replacement.
Total Hip Replacement
For patients with advanced arthritis or severe joint damage, total hip replacement offers reliable pain relief and improved mobility. OrthoTexas surgeons use modern implants, refined surgical techniques, and optimized recovery pathways to support durable outcomes.
Revision Hip Surgery
Revision hip surgery addresses complications such as worn implants, instability, or persistent pain following a previous hip replacement, requiring advanced expertise and careful surgical planning.
Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO)
A specialized procedure used in select patients with hip dysplasia to improve joint alignment and preserve the native hip.
Minimally Invasive Hip Surgery
Selected hip procedures may be performed using muscle-sparing approaches designed to support faster recovery and reduced postoperative discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common causes of hip pain?
Hip pain is commonly related to conditions such as labral tears, hip impingement, bursitis, arthritis, muscle strains, or overuse injuries. An orthopedic evaluation helps determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
What does a hip labral tear feel like?
A hip labral tear often causes deep groin pain, clicking or catching sensations, stiffness, or a feeling of instability in the hip. Because symptoms can overlap with other conditions, evaluation by a hip specialist is recommended.
When is hip replacement necessary?
Hip replacement is typically considered when severe arthritis or joint damage leads to persistent pain, limited mobility, and reduced quality of life despite appropriate non-surgical treatments.
Can hip impingement be treated without surgery?
Many cases of hip impingement can be managed with non-surgical care, including physical therapy, activity modification, and image-guided injections. Surgery may be considered if symptoms persist or function remains limited.
How long is recovery after hip arthroscopy or hip replacement?
Recovery timelines vary based on the procedure and individual factors. Patients may return to light activities within several weeks, while full recovery and return to higher-impact activities may take several months.
Is hip pain always related to the hip joint?
Not always. Some hip pain may be referred from the lower back or surrounding muscles, which is why a thorough evaluation is important.
Do athletes commonly experience hip injuries?
Yes. Athletes are prone to hip injuries due to repetitive motion, pivoting, and high-impact activities, making early evaluation important for safe return to play.
Will I need imaging for hip pain?
Imaging such as X-ray, MRI, or ultrasound may be recommended to accurately diagnose hip conditions and guide treatment planning.
Can physical therapy improve hip mobility and strength?
Physical therapy is often an effective treatment for improving hip strength, flexibility, and movement patterns, both before and after surgical care.
When should I see a hip specialist?
You should consider seeing a hip specialist if pain, stiffness, or mobility issues persist, worsen, or interfere with daily activities or athletic performance.
