Hip Osteoarthritis Treatment in Madipakkam

Hip pain and stiffness can make daily activities like walking or sitting challenging. Dr. Arun Kumar provides expert diagnosis and comprehensive treatment for hip osteoarthritis — helping patients regain comfort, movement, and confidence.

Before Hip Treatment

What is Hip Osteoarthritis?

Hip osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition where the cartilage cushioning the hip joint gradually wears away. Without this smooth layer, bones rub against each other, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced flexibility. It typically develops slowly and worsens over time.

Restoring Mobility & Comfort

Proper diagnosis and tailored treatment can significantly improve movement and reduce hip pain.

Symptoms of Hip Osteoarthritis

  • Pain in the hip, groin, or thigh during activity
  • Stiffness after sitting or resting
  • Difficulty walking or climbing stairs
  • Grinding or clicking sounds from the hip joint
  • Reduced ability to bend or rotate the leg
  • Pain radiating toward the knee

Causes and Risk Factors

  • Age (more common after 50 years)
  • Genetic predisposition or family history
  • Excess body weight adding pressure on joints
  • Previous hip injuries like fractures or dislocations
  • Repetitive strain from sports or heavy work
  • Gender (slightly higher in women)

Treatment Options for Hip Osteoarthritis

Treatment depends on the severity and impact on daily activities.

Non-Surgical Treatments

  • Lifestyle modifications and low-impact exercises
  • Pain-relief and anti-inflammatory medications
  • Physiotherapy for muscle strength and posture
  • PRP, steroid, or hyaluronic acid injections
  • Walking aids to reduce strain on the hip

Surgical Treatments

  • Hip Arthroscopy: Removes loose fragments and cleans the joint.
  • Osteotomy: Realigns bones to relieve pressure on damaged areas.
  • Total Hip Replacement: Replaces the damaged joint with an artificial implant for lasting relief.

Recovery and Living with Hip Osteoarthritis

  • Stay active with gentle exercises like swimming or cycling
  • Maintain a healthy weight to reduce joint stress
  • Follow physiotherapy exercises consistently
  • Use hot/cold therapy for pain management

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about hip osteoarthritis and treatment

Early symptoms include pain in the hip or groin, stiffness, and difficulty performing daily movements like walking or bending.

While it cannot be reversed, symptoms can be managed effectively with physiotherapy, medications, and lifestyle modifications.

Surgery is considered when pain is severe, mobility is limited, and conservative treatments no longer provide relief.

Modern hip replacements typically last 15–20 years or more, depending on activity levels and overall health.
