Hip Pain Treatment That Helps You Move Freely Again

Understanding Hip Pain

Hip pain can affect far more than just your joint—it can impact how you walk, sleep, exercise, and enjoy everyday life. Whether it begins as a dull ache or sharp, persistent discomfort, hip pain often leads to reduced mobility, frustration, and a gradual loss of independence if left unaddressed.

For many active adults, hip pain develops over time due to wear and tear, past injuries, or changes in movement patterns. Others may notice it suddenly after increased activity, like walking, golf, or pickleball.

At CHARM, we focus on identifying the true source of your pain—not just where it hurts, but why it’s happening—so we can create a treatment plan that supports lasting relief and long-term function.

Common Hip Pain Conditions We Treat

Hip pain can stem from a variety of underlying conditions, each requiring a thoughtful and individualized approach to care. Some of the most common hip pain conditions we treat include:

  • Hip Osteoarthritis: Degeneration of the joint cartilage leading to stiffness, pain, and reduced range of motion over time.
  • Labral Tears: Damage to the cartilage lining of the hip socket, often causing clicking, instability, or deep joint pain.
  • Tendinopathy and Bursitis: Inflammation or degeneration of the tendons or bursae surrounding the hip, commonly seen with overuse or altered movement patterns.
  • Muscle Imbalances or Strains: Weakness, tightness, or improper activation of surrounding muscles can place excess stress on the hip joint.

No matter the diagnosis, our goal remains the same: to reduce pain, restore movement, and help you return to the activities that matter most.

CHARM’s Approach to Hip Pain Treatment

At CHARM, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Instead, treatment starts with a comprehensive evaluation to understand not just where pain exists, but why. To do this, we assess joint health, soft tissue integrity, and movement patterns together to uncover the true source of dysfunction.

From there, care follows a structured, stepwise approach that addresses both structure and function. Our targeted treatments focus on the underlying physical issue, while rehabilitation restores a patient’s strength, stability, and proper movement.

This integrated model is designed not only to relieve pain but to correct dysfunction and reduce the risk of recurrence, helping our patients return to daily activity with greater confidence and long-term function.

Regenerative Medicine Injections and Interventions We Use

Unlike conventional approaches that rely heavily on steroids or surgery, regenerative therapies stimulate the body’s own repair processes. When delivered with precision and paired with appropriate rehabilitation, these treatments can promote tissue recovery while preserving long-term structural health.

Our regenerative treatment options include:

    • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): PRP uses your body’s own platelets to support tissue repair, reduce pain, and improve joint function in conditions like arthritis and tendon injuries.
    • Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC): BMAC delivers a high concentration of healing cells to support recovery in more advanced or complex hip conditions.
    • Platelet Lysate: Platelet lysate can be used to reduce inflammation and support healing around irritated or sensitive tissues without the long-term drawbacks of repeated steroid use.
    • Image-Guided Injections: Targeted injections into the hip joint or surrounding structures to reduce inflammation and confirm the source of pain.
    • Radiofrequency Neurotomy: A minimally invasive option for select cases, helping interrupt pain signals from affected joints. 

Our restorative treatment options include:

    • Redcord Neurac (NEURomuscular ACtivation) Method: Using ropes, slings, and bungees, the Redcord Neura method reduces body weight to restore normal stability, movement patterns, and neuromuscular control.
    • NeuFit Method: Using therapeutic direct current, this method enhances muscle activation and reduces protective tension to improve strength and mobility.
    • Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS): MPS direct current, applied via a non-invasive point stimulator, delivers a low frequency of 2-4 Hz, similar to acupuncture. This therapy quickly and safely reduces muscle tension and enhances pain response regulation.
    • Class IV Laser Therapy: This method employs photobiomodulation to reduce pain and inflammation and promote tissue healing.

Each treatment is carefully selected based on your condition, goals, and overall health, ensuring a personalized path to recovery.

When it comes to the function aspect of our care, CHARM takes a release, balance, and build approach.

 

Release

We begin by reducing pain, inflammation, and protective muscle tension. This phase helps calm irritated tissues in the hips and creates the foundation for effective movement and healing.

Balance

Once hip pain is better controlled, we focus on restoring proper movement patterns. This includes improving joint alignment, mobility, and neuromuscular coordination so your body moves more efficiently.

Build

Finally, we work to strengthen the surrounding muscles and support structures. This phase is essential for long-term stability, injury prevention, and maintaining an active lifestyle.

This structured approach allows us to not only relieve hip pain, but also to help you move better, feel stronger, and stay active with confidence.
