hip pain treatment options
IPI works closely with you to determine the best possible treatment options for your condition, personal needs and lifestyle. Whenever possible, we emphasize conservative, non-invasive treatment methods to manage and treat hip pain.
Intra-articular Joint Injections
An intra-articular injection is delivered directly into a joint with the primary aim of relieving pain. This is achieved using steroids, local anesthetics, hyaluronic acid, and even Botox. The injections can be performed with and without fluoroscopy/live x-ray.
Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy is a complementary treatment for muscle and joint pain. The treatment involves repeated injections of an irritant solution into part of a joint — the joint’s interior, for example, or a supporting tendon or ligament. The irritant, usually a sugar solution, is thought to trigger growth in the connective tissue of the joint, eventually leading to reduced pain.

Platelet Rich Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced treatment that can help repair and regenerate injured soft tissue and reduce pain. Multiple published scientific studies have confirmed the effectiveness of this therapy, and thousands of patients – including professional athletes – have benefited from PRP injections. PRP therapy may be an alternative to surgery. Ask for a consultation on your specific chronic pain case by contacting Interventional Pain Institute at (229) 405-2470.
