Hip Pain Q&A

What causes hip pain?

Hip pain can stem from problems within the joint itself or from surrounding muscles, ligaments, and nerves. The hip is one of the body’s largest weight-bearing joints, so even small amounts of inflammation or wear can cause significant discomfort.

Common causes of hip pain include:

Arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis)
Bursitis (inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs around the joint)
Tendonitis from overuse or repetitive movement
Labral tears or cartilage damage
Hip impingement (FAI)
Sciatica or pinched nerves in the lower spine
Avascular necrosis, a condition caused by reduced blood flow to the bone

Age, high-impact activity, obesity, or previous hip injuries can increase your risk of chronic pain or stiffness in the joint.

What symptoms are associated with hip pain?

Hip pain can present in various ways, depending on its cause. You may experience:

Aching or stiffness in the front, side, or back of the hip
Pain that worsens with standing, walking, or prolonged sitting
Clicking, popping, or catching sensations when moving
Sharp pain that radiates into the thigh, groin, or buttocks
Reduced range of motion or limping

If your pain persists, interferes with your daily activities, or disrupts your sleep, Dr. Mohan recommends scheduling an evaluation to identify the underlying cause.

How is hip pain diagnosed and treated?

Dr. Mohan begins with a detailed physical exam to assess your hip’s movement and strength. Diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays, MRIs, or ultrasound, may be ordered to detect joint damage or inflammation.

Treatment options at Pain Specialists of Frisco include:

Anti-inflammatory or pain-relief medications
Corticosteroid injections for joint inflammation
Nerve blocks for targeted pain control
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or Regenexx® stem cell therapy to promote healing
Physical therapy to improve joint strength and mobility

Dr. Mohan emphasizes nonsurgical, evidence-based solutions that reduce pain and restore function. When necessary, he collaborates with orthopedic specialists to ensure continuity of care and long-term joint health.
