OVERVIEW
ABOUT HIP PAIN TREATMENT
Hip pain shows up in a lot of small moments. Throwing a leg over the bike seat might give you a sharp pinch. Lying on that side at night can turn into a dull ache that keeps you shifting around. A long walk along the Rillito can leave the groin sore, and some mornings the hip feels rusty for the first half hour. The reason might be arthritis, a sore tendon, bursitis, or a torn labrum, and every so often it’s the lower back sending pain down. At Modern Medicine of Northwest Tucson, AZ, we figure out which it is first, and most people get better without an operation.
BOOKING APPOINTMENTS
Call our office or request an appointment online, and tell us when the pain started. If you’ve had an X-ray or MRI, have the report sent over before your visit.

SCHEDULE
REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT
You’ll usually come in a couple of times a week to start. Once the hip is feeling better, we’ll spread out the visits.
DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
We’ll watch you walk, squat, and balance on one leg, and we’ll move the hip through its range to find what’s tight or painful. We’ll also check your lower back, since it can send pain into the hip.
TREATMENTS
CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM
You’ll spend a lot of time on bridges, side steps with a band, and other moves for the glutes and thighs, plus some stretching if the joint is stiff. If it keeps flaring, we might bring up a shot, and we’ll probably ask about your mattress and your desk chair too.
FOLLOW UP
WE CALL TO CHECK IN
Every few weeks we’ll measure again, and anything that isn’t working gets switched out. On your last visit you’ll walk out with a handful of exercises to keep doing at home.

Excellent place! I had a rather unusual injury to my wrist, and it seemed I'd never use my hand again. At least not for much. These guys have worked a miracle. Very professional, competent people. Would recommend to anyone who needs physical therapy!

What Are You Experiencing?
You may not know specifically what type of treatment you would require. What you do know is that you hurt, and right now that’s really what is most important. To better know how to serve you, please take a few minutes to fill out this brief form describing the discomfort or pain you are experiencing. With a clearer idea, we will contact you to discuss what may be occurring and how we may be able to assist.
LOW HIGH
SEVERE PAIN
If you are experiencing severe or unbearable pain, don’t wait. Call 911 or proceed directly to your nearby hospital. When the emergency is treated, we will then be prepared to work together to assist you in gaining longer-term relief.
MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT
Maybe your pain isn’t keeping you back, but it is making daily living a bit harder than it has to be. If it’s sharp, annoying, or keeps coming back, let us know what you’re dealing with. We can start together to investigate why it’s happening and how we can make it better.
MINOR PAINS & ACHES
Minor aches may not seem significant, but sometimes they are your body’s way of telling you it needs a helping hand. The stiffness, soreness, or occasional pains are great things to bring to our attention. Let us know what you’ve been experiencing, and we’ll point you in the direction of care that prevents small issues from turning into large ones.

Answering Your Questions
Why does it hurt to get out of the car?
You’re twisting and lifting the leg at the same time, and a stiff or weak hip doesn’t like that combo. Try sitting down first and then swinging both legs in or out together. It sounds silly, but it helps.
Is hip pain always arthritis?
It isn’t. Tendon problems, bursitis, and labral tears are common too, and so is pain that comes from the lower back. We check for all of these during your exam.
Can I keep hiking with a sore hip?
Often you can, with some changes. Shorter hikes on flatter trails are easier on the hip while you heal. We’ll help you figure out how much you can do.
Will a shot take care of it?
Sometimes it takes the edge off for a while, which is great. But if the muscles around the hip are still weak, the pain usually comes back. We like to use the shot to make the exercises easier, not to replace them.
Do I need surgery?
Probably not, at least not yet. Most hips improve with a few months of good work. If yours doesn’t, or the scan shows a tear that won’t heal on its own, we’ll talk it through with you.
