Hip Pain Treatment Specialist in Rapid City, SD

Some of the most common causes of hip pain include arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, muscle strain, fractures, and labral tears. Each of these conditions can cause chronic pain that radiates from the hip joint into other parts of the leg or body. When you begin experiencing hip pain, it is important to schedule a consultation with a certified doctor who can provide you with a precise diagnosis and begin an effective treatment regimen, so you can reduce your pain and get back to moving through life the way you want to. 

Hip replacement surgery can be an effective treatment method for many patients, especially for those with degenerative conditions like arthritis that have negatively impacted the overall health of the joint. However, at Rapid City Interventional Pain Clinic, we believe that surgical intervention should always be a last-resort treatment. We focus on providing our patients with a wide range of treatment options including joint injections, and regenerative medicine techniques that can help reduce inflammation, strengthen important muscles, and even help the soft tissue of the joint heal effectively from within. For patients with only minor conditions, rest and anti-inflammatory or pain-relieving medications may be enough to reduce pain while the joint has time to heal on its own. 

While many of us have heard of hip replacement surgery, most may not be aware that a partial hip replacement can offer relief from some severe hip fractures without replacing the acetabulum. In a total hip replacement, both the femoral head (ball) and the acetabulum (socket) are replaced with prosthetic materials. However, for some patients who have sustained fractures to their femoral head that cannot be treated with surgical pins, but whose hip is otherwise intact, a partial hip replacement may be better suited to addressing their needs with less pain and recovery time. 

A quick onset of discomfort may be an indication of a more serious problem. Sudden swelling and popping noises are further indications that you should see a doctor. Pain signifies that your body is trying to stay in touch with you, and while not all pain is severe, all pain should be noticed and dealt with appropriately.
