Hip pain can limit mobility, making daily activities like walking, standing, or even sleeping uncomfortable. Whether caused by arthritis, bursitis, or injury, persistent hip pain can interfere with an active lifestyle. Hip injections offer a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment to reduce inflammation and provide long-term relief. At Ascend Pain & Wellness, we specialize in interventional pain management solutions, including hip joint injections tailored to each patient's needs.
Hip injections are therapeutic pain relief treatments that deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly into the hip joint or surrounding tissues to reduce pain and swelling. These injections are commonly used to treat conditions such as:
Hip injections can provide both short-term and long-term relief, helping patients regain mobility and delay or avoid surgery.

At Ascend Pain & Wellness, we offer several types of hip injections, depending on the underlying condition and severity of pain:
Corticosteroid injections are the most common type of hip injection for pain relief. These injections contain a powerful anti-inflammatory medication that helps reduce swelling in the hip joint, relieving pain for weeks to months.
PRP injections use the patient’s own blood platelets to promote healing and tissue regeneration. This treatment is ideal for hip injuries, labral tears, and tendon issues.
For osteoarthritis-related hip pain, hyaluronic acid injections help lubricate the joint, improving movement and reducing stiffness.
In cases where hip pain is caused by nerve irritation, a nerve block injection can provide immediate pain relief by disrupting pain signals to the brain.

Pain relief may last from a few weeks to several months, depending on the severity of the condition and the type of injection used. Patients with chronic hip pain may benefit from repeat injections or combination therapy with physical therapy, exercise, or regenerative medicine treatments.
