How The Regenexx Approach Works For Hip Pain
At Rehabilitation Medicine Center of New Jersey – New York, NY, minimally invasive alternatives to hip surgery may involve the use of image-guided technology to precisely deliver bone marrow concentrate, containing your body’s cells, into targeted areas of the hip joint. This approach is intended to support the repair of damaged tissue and promote improved joint function and mobility.
These outpatient procedures are performed by trained physicians in the licensed Regenexx network and are designed to support recovery while minimizing disruption to daily life.

FAQs
The hip is a very versatile and stable ball-and-socket joint with an extensive range of movement. It bears the body’s weight via the connection between the pelvis and upper thigh and allows us to walk, run, and jump.
The joint is comprised of two parts: the ball at the head of the femur (thighbone) and the socket (acetabulum), which is a collar of cartilage in the pelvis that surrounds the head of the femur and is designed for stability and bearing weight.
Several ligaments and tendons surrounding the hip joint provide added function and stability. Both ligaments and tendons can get torn or injured with wear and tear or trauma. In the case of hip tendons, the most common injuries are to the iliotibial (IT) band, abductor tendon, and hamstring tendon.
Most hip injuries are generally associated with some pain due to the size of the joint and its compromised functionality. It is second only to the knee in terms of joint size, and even minor injuries to the hip joint can cause some degree of pain. Sometimes, however, stiffness or decreased range of motion may be the primary symptom.
Yes, most hip injuries and causes of chronic hip pain can be identified with an MRI. They provide good definition for large muscles, tendon tears, and areas of inflammation. Joint degeneration and arthritis can also usually be identified.
Watch the video below to learn more about the top three things to look for when reading a hip MRI.
