Hip Injections: Effective Pain Relief & Treatment Options

Hip pain can limit mobility and impact daily activities, making simple movements like walking or standing difficult. Hip injections offer a minimally invasive solution for reducing pain and inflammation, helping patients regain function without surgery. Whether caused by arthritis, injury, or overuse, targeted hip treatments can provide lasting relief.

Common Causes of Hip Pain

Hip pain can result from various conditions, including:

• Osteoarthritis – Cartilage degeneration leading to joint pain and stiffness
• Bursitis – Inflammation of fluid-filled sacs that cushion the hip joint
• Labral Tears – Damage to the cartilage lining the hip socket
• Hip Impingement (FAI) – Abnormal bone growth causing joint friction
• Sciatica & Nerve Pain – Compression of the sciatic nerve radiating to the hip
• Tendonitis & Muscle Strains – Overuse injuries affecting hip movement

Types of Hip Injections for Pain Relief

Hip injections are an effective, non-surgical option for managing pain. Common types include:

1. Corticosteroid Injections

✔ Reduces inflammation and pain in the hip joint or surrounding bursae
✔ Effective for arthritis, bursitis, and tendonitis
✔ Provides relief for weeks to months

2. Hyaluronic Acid Injections (Viscosupplementation)

✔ Lubricates the joint to improve movement and reduce pain
✔ Commonly used for hip osteoarthritis
✔ Helps restore joint cushioning

3. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

✔ Uses concentrated platelets from your blood to promote healing
✔ Ideal for labral tears, tendon injuries, and osteoarthritis
✔ Supports tissue regeneration and long-term relief

4. Nerve Blocks & Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

✔ Blocks pain signals from irritated nerves
✔ Suitable for chronic hip pain and sciatica
✔ RFA offers longer-lasting relief by disrupting nerve function

When to Consider Hip Injections

If hip pain persists for weeks, limits mobility, or doesn’t improve with rest and medications, a hip injection may be the right solution. Consulting a pain specialist can help determine the best treatment plan.
