How We Diagnose Hip Pain and Injuries
Our orthopedic hip specialists are trained to evaluate complex hip problems involving the bones, cartilage, labrum, ligaments, tendons, and surrounding soft tissues. Our approach is designed to be thorough, efficient, and tailored to your specific symptoms and lifestyle.
Here’s what to expect when you come in for a hip evaluation:
- Detailed Medical History: You and your doctor will go over how your symptoms began, how they’ve progressed, any prior injuries, and how your pain affects your daily activities and movement.
- Targeted Physical Examination: We assess your range of motion, strength, flexibility, joint stability, and areas of tenderness.
- On-Site Imaging: Most of our offices offer on-site X-rays for immediate evaluation. If additional imaging is needed, such as MRI, ultrasound, or CT scans, we’ll coordinate that promptly to get a closer look.
- Functional Testing: In some cases, we evaluate how your hip moves during real-life activities like walking or shifting positions to identify mechanical issues or instability that may not appear on imaging alone.
Many of our patients receive a diagnosis and treatment plan during their first visit. We’ll walk you through your results in clear, understandable terms and guide you through the next steps so you can feel confident moving forward.

How We Provide Hip Pain Relief at MROrthopedics
Our approach starts with understanding your diagnosis and daily needs, then building a plan around you. For most patients, treatment begins with conservative solutions aimed at reducing pain, improving mobility, and slowing joint damage:
Steroid Injections
- Steroid Injections provide targeted relief for hip pain caused by arthritis, bursitis, or tendon irritation.
- By reducing inflammation directly in the joint, these injections can ease discomfort, improve mobility, and support daily function.
Physical Therapy
- Physical therapy helps strengthen the muscles that support your hip, improve flexibility, and restore healthy movement patterns.
- Guided exercises and hands-on care can reduce pain, enhance stability, and speed recovery after injury or surgery.
PRP Injections
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections use concentrated healing cells from your own blood to promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation in the hip.
- This innovative therapy may support recovery from labral tears, tendon injuries, or cartilage damage.
Viscosupplementation (Gel Injections)
- Viscosupplementation (gel injection) helps cushion and lubricate arthritic hip joints by adding a gel-like fluid similar to the body’s natural joint lubricant.
- This treatment can reduce stiffness, improve mobility, and provide longer-lasting relief for patients with hip arthritis who want to delay or avoid surgery.
Bracing/Assistive Supports
- Bracing and assistive supports can help stabilize the hip joint, reduce stress on injured tissues, and make daily activities more comfortable.
- Whether used temporarily during recovery or long term for added support, these tools allow patients to stay active while protecting the hip as it heals.
When non-surgical treatments aren’t enough, our hip surgeons offer minimally invasive and advanced procedures designed to relieve pain, protect the joint, and support long-term mobility, using techniques that prioritize precision and quicker recovery:
Hip Arthroscopy
- Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses small incisions and a tiny camera to treat problems like labral tears, impingement, and cartilage damage.
- This advanced technique allows for precise repair with less pain, smaller scars, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Labral Repair or Reconstruction
- Labral repair or reconstruction restores stability and cushioning to the hip joint when the cartilage rim (labrum) is torn or damaged.
- Depending on the severity, the labrum may be repaired or replaced with graft tissue, helping relieve pain, improve joint function, and protect against further hip damage.
Osteotomy (Realignment Procedures)
- Osteotomy, or realignment procedures, involve reshaping or repositioning the hip bones to improve joint alignment and reduce uneven wear.
- By shifting how forces move through the hip, these surgeries can relieve pain, protect cartilage, and help delay or prevent the need for a total hip replacement.
Hip Replacement (Partial or Total)
- A total or partial hip replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces damaged bone and cartilage with artificial components.
- Recommended for severe arthritis or advanced joint damage, it can dramatically improve mobility, reduce pain, and help patients return to daily activities.
Fracture Repair & Fixation
- Hip fracture repair and fixation is a treatment for stabilizing and realigning broken bones after a traumatic hip injury or fall.
- Using plates, screws, or rods, our surgeons repair the fracture to restore strength and mobility.

Why Does my Hip Click When I Walk or Climb Stairs?
A clicking or popping sound in the hip, especially when walking, climbing stairs, or standing up, can result from tendons or muscles moving over the joint, labral tears, or hip impingement. While it’s often harmless, persistent clicking with pain or stiffness may signal an underlying issue. A hip specialist can provide clarity and personalized treatment.
Can Hip Arthritis be Treated Without Surgery?
Yes, many patients with hip arthritis find relief without surgery. Non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, steroid or gel injections, and assistive supports can reduce pain and improve mobility. At MROrthopedics, our hip specialists tailor care to your needs, focusing on conservative options first and recommending surgery only if necessary.
What Kind of Doctor Treats Hip Bursitis Near Me?
Hip bursitis is best treated by an orthopedic doctor, a specialist trained to diagnose and manage joint, muscle, and tendon problems. At MROrthopedics, our Chicago-area hip specialists offer both non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments, including injections and physical therapy, to relieve pain and restore mobility.
Do I Need a Hip Replacement if my Pain is Only at Night?
Not always. Nighttime hip pain doesn’t automatically mean you need a hip replacement. It may be related to arthritis, bursitis, or another condition that responds well to non-surgical care like injections or physical therapy. An orthopedic hip specialist can evaluate your symptoms, identify the cause, and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
