Services
Hip Arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat joint damage using small incisions and specialized tools. Our team employs advanced techniques to address labral tears, cartilage injuries, and femoroacetabular impingement. Patients benefit from faster recovery times and reduced postoperative pain compared to traditional open surgery.
Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI)
FAI treatment addresses abnormal bone contact in the hip joint through conservative therapies or surgical correction. We offer personalized plans including physical therapy, activity modification, and arthroscopic reshaping of the femoral head or acetabulum. Our goal is to restore joint function and prevent long-term arthritis development.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services focus on restoring hip mobility, strength, and function through customized exercise regimens. Certified therapists work closely with patients post-surgery or for non-surgical management of hip conditions. Treatment includes manual therapy, gait training, and sport-specific rehabilitation to optimize recovery outcomes.
Orthobiologics
Orthobiologics use natural substances like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cells to promote tissue healing and reduce inflammation. We employ these therapies for hip conditions such as early-stage arthritis or soft tissue injuries. This innovative approach aims to delay or avoid surgical intervention while enhancing natural repair processes.
Trochanteric Bursitis Treatment
Treatment for trochanteric bursitis involves targeted interventions to reduce inflammation of the hip's bursa sacs. Our approach includes corticosteroid injections, physical therapy, and activity modification. Patients receive individualized care to alleviate pain and improve mobility for daily activities and exercise.
