Condition overview · Orthopedics
Here is what we treat in the hip and which therapies may apply. Each card below links to that therapy's full page. We see patients from Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, and across the United States.
Therapies for this condition
Pain inside the hip joint and pain from the gluteal tendons on the outer side of the hip call for different tools. We work out which is driving your symptoms at your consultation.
01 · Platelet-rich plasma
Blood-derived · in-office
Concentrated platelets and growth factors from your own blood, prepared in our lab and delivered into the target tissue under ultrasound guidance.
02 · Non-invasive pressure-wave therapy
No needles · no anesthesia · 25–30 min
EPAT (extracorporeal pulse activation technology) uses a hand-held applicator that sends low-frequency waves through the skin to a painful tendon or to the place where a tendon attaches to bone. There are no needles and no anesthesia, and sessions happen weekly.
Talking it through
These are the situations where these treatments most often come up for hip pain. Whether one fits you is something we work out together at your consultation. If another option makes more sense, we'll tell you.
