Is Hip Pain Affecting Your Life?
If you experience hip pain you know firsthand that it may interfere with your daily activities, restrict mobility, and limit your overall performance. While hip replacement surgery is a standard "go to" for many doctors, there are alternative treatment options for hip replacement surgery. Read on to consider all options because living with hip pain for the rest of your life should not be one.
Why Should You Avoid Surgery?
Conditions after a surgery, in this case a hip replacement surgery, can often be uncomfortable. Recovery time often involves high amounts of pain prior to recovering to an acceptable state of mobility. While “acceptable” may have many different meanings to different people, at the Regenerative Medicine Center we don’t believe in leaving our patients in an acceptable state. We want only the best for our patients. At our offices, "the best" is achieved through alternative procedures such as PRP Therapy.
How Can PRP Therapy Help Your Hip Pain?
In patients with hip pain, hip bursitis is often a common culprit. Hip bursitis is associated with pain from friction affecting the hip joint. PRP Therapy can be an effective treatment for treating hip bursitis. Platelet-rich plasma is derived from a sample of the patient's own blood. The therapeutic injections contains plasma with a higher concentration of platelets than is found in normal blood. A PRP injection is administered into the area surrounding the hip joint, which lets us accelerate the healing process.
As each case is unique to each patient, we do recommend coming to speak to one of our hip pain specialists before you agree to surgery. Get that second opinion and learn all the choices that are available to you by calling us at 646-612-0896 or requesting an appointment here.
