Hip Pain Solutions Without Surgery In Ospina Medical – New York, NY
Exploring Alternatives To Surgery For Hip Pain
Surgery is commonly recommended for individuals with persistent hip pain, but it is not the only available option.
For hip pain caused by injury or degenerative changes, interventional orthopedic procedures may help reduce discomfort and support the body’s natural repair processes. These procedures are less invasive than traditional surgery and are often associated with shorter recovery periods and a lower risk of complications.

Beyond fractures, the hip joint may also be affected by injuries to the surrounding muscles, ligaments, and tendons that play a key role in movement and joint stability. Over time, degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis can further limit function and contribute to discomfort. These types of hip issues may be evaluated for treatment through procedures that utilize Regenexx lab processes.
Among the most frequently reviewed hip conditions by physicians in the licensed Regenexx network are:

How Does The Regenexx Approach For Hip Injuries Work?
At Ospina Medical in 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.
The cells within bone marrow concentrate may play a role in tissue repair and joint stabilization, helping to address pain and support movement over time.
Webinar: Non-Surgical Approaches To Managing Hip Pain
Join Chris Centeno, M.D., founder of Regenexx, for a free educational webinar on how the Regenexx approach may be considered for individuals experiencing hip pain. These procedures are designed to be less invasive than surgery and may offer a shorter recovery time.
In this session, you’ll learn:

FAQs
The hip is a strong and flexible ball-and-socket joint that supports a wide range of motion. It plays a critical role in bearing body weight through the connection between the upper thigh and pelvis, making activities such as walking, running, and jumping possible.
This joint consists of two main components: the rounded head of the femur (thighbone), and the acetabulum, a cartilage-lined socket in the pelvis that surrounds the femoral head to provide stability and support for weight-bearing movement.
Surrounding ligaments and tendons further enhance the joint’s function and stability. These soft tissues are susceptible to injury from repetitive strain or trauma. Among the more commonly affected hip tendons are the iliotibial (IT) band, the abductor tendon, and the hamstring tendon.
Because of its size and role in weight-bearing movement, the hip joint is commonly associated with pain when injured. As the second largest joint in the body, after the knee, even relatively minor injuries can result in discomfort. In some cases, however, individuals may notice stiffness or reduced range of motion as the more prominent symptom rather than pain.
Yes, many hip injuries and sources of ongoing hip pain can often be identified through MRI imaging. MRIs are useful for visualizing large muscle groups, detecting tendon damage, and highlighting areas of inflammation. They can also commonly reveal signs of joint degeneration and arthritis.
Watch the video below to learn about three key indicators to observe when reviewing a hip MRI.
