Which Hip Conditions Can Be Treated with Interventional Pain Management?

When you visit us for your initial consultation, a member of our medical team will examine your hip to identify your condition, whether it be hip arthritis, a bone fracture, hip dysplasia, or another concern. There are many different causes of hip pain, including:

Hip bone fractures or breaks
Hip tendon or ligament sprains or strains
Arthritis or inflammation in the hip joint
Cartilage breakdown or tears in the hip joint
Labrum tears

How Do You Diagnose Hip Conditions?

If you’ve been experiencing prolonged pain in your hips or pelvis, your first step will involve seeing a doctor as soon as possible. The team of medical experts at the Advanced Relief Institute will work with you to identify the cause of your pain through a series of tests and examinations.

We’ll use X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs to determine the root cause of your chronic pain, in addition to further tests, which may include minimally invasive examinations of the hip joint. A final testing option may involve injecting an anesthetic into parts of the hip to determine where the pain is coming from.

How Do Interventional Hip Injections Work?

Interventional injections deliver numbing agents and other medicines into the hip joint via a thin needle. This allows the medication to be delivered precisely to the area causing the pain, ensuring that your results are as quick as they are effective. These injections can treat several different types of hip pain and help your body heal from both injuries and chronic conditions.

Is There a Recovery Period After Interventional Treatments for Hip Pain?

After your interventional hip injection, you’ll experience very little in the way of downtime. Most patients are able to resume their normal daily activities as soon as the treatment is over.

You may experience slight swelling or stiffness in your hip for a few days. This hip joint pain should begin to subside almost immediately after the injection, however.

What is Durable Medical Equipment?

At the Advanced Relief Institute, we understand that managing hip and pelvic pain requires a comprehensive and multifaceted approach. As part of our commitment to providing the highest quality care, we offer Durable Medical Equipment (DME) as a key component of our treatment plans. These specialized devices are designed to support your body, alleviate pain, and promote healing, allowing you to regain mobility and improve your quality of life.

Durable Medical Equipment is designed to be long-lasting and tailored to your specific needs, helping you manage pain and recover more effectively. At the Advanced Relief Institute, we carefully select the appropriate DME for each patient based on their condition, ensuring that it complements our other treatment modalities.

How Does Durable Medical Equipment Help with Hip & Pelvic Pain?

Support and Stabilization

Braces, belts, and orthotic devices can provide essential support to the hip and pelvic region, reducing the strain on muscles, ligaments, and joints. By stabilizing the affected area, these devices help to prevent further injury and allow the body to heal. For example, a pelvic brace can be particularly effective in managing pain from conditions like hip dysplasia or pelvic fractures by keeping the area properly aligned.

Pain Relief

Heat and cold therapy devices can offer immediate pain relief by reducing inflammation and promoting circulation. These devices can be used as part of a daily routine, providing consistent relief and reducing the reliance on medications. For patients with conditions like arthritis or labrum tears, this type of therapy can significantly ease discomfort and improve mobility.

Enhanced Mobility

Walkers, canes, and crutches are vital tools for patients recovering from hip surgery or dealing with severe hip pain. These devices help redistribute weight away from the hip, reducing pressure on the joint and allowing for safer, more comfortable movement. By improving mobility, these tools enable patients to maintain an active lifestyle, which is crucial for overall recovery and well-being.

Rehabilitation Support

DME is also an integral part of the rehabilitation process. Equipment such as resistance bands, exercise balls, and foam rollers can be used in physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around the hip and pelvis, improve flexibility, and prevent future injuries. These tools empower patients to take an active role in their recovery, enhancing the effectiveness of their treatment plan.

Comprehensive Care at the Advanced Relief Institute

At the Advanced Relief Institute, we believe that Durable Medical Equipment is more than just a supplement to treatment—it’s an essential part of a holistic approach to pain management. Our multidisciplinary team works closely with each patient to select the right equipment, ensuring that it aligns with your overall treatment goals. Whether you’re dealing with chronic hip pain, recovering from surgery, or managing a pelvic injury, DME can provide the support you need to heal and regain your independence.

We take pride in offering a personalized, patient-centered approach to care. By integrating DME with advanced interventional pain management techniques and regenerative therapies, we provide a comprehensive solution that addresses all aspects of your condition. Trust the Advanced Relief Institute to guide you through your recovery journey with the expertise, compassion, and cutting-edge care you deserve.
