Hip Problems

Hip pain can affect walking, sitting, and sleeping comfort, significantly impacting daily life. Dr. Sanjay Rawat provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for the full spectrum of hip problems in Indore, from young athletes with labral tears to older adults with arthritis.

About Hip Problems

The hip is a deep ball-and-socket joint responsible for weight-bearing and a wide range of motion. Hip problems can arise from arthritis, labral tears, impingement, bursitis, or fractures, each requiring a distinct treatment approach. Because hip pain can sometimes be referred from the lower back, an accurate clinical diagnosis is essential before starting treatment to ensure the right problem is being addressed.

Symptoms of Hip Problems

• Groin, thigh, or buttock pain
• Stiffness that limits hip rotation or bending
• A limp or altered walking pattern
• Clicking or catching sensations in the joint
• Pain that worsens with prolonged sitting or standing

Causes of Hip Problems

• Age-related cartilage degeneration
• Labral tears or hip impingement
• Previous hip injury or fracture
• Inflammatory or autoimmune arthritis
• Repetitive high-impact activity

Diagnosis

• Detailed physical examination of hip range of motion
• X-ray to assess joint space and alignment
• MRI for soft tissue and labral evaluation
• Assessment of gait and lower limb mechanics

Treatment Options

• Anti-inflammatory medication for pain relief
• Corticosteroid injections for targeted relief
• Arthroscopic hip surgery for labral or impingement issues
