At New York Pain Care, we take a thorough approach to understand what’s causing your hip pain. We start by discussing your health history and performing a detailed physical exam. To get a closer look, we use imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs. Sometimes, we even use a diagnostic injection to make sure the hip joint itself is the source of your discomfort.
When other treatments aren’t enough, injections can offer relief. Typically, these combine a steroid with a local anesthetic to provide quick, targeted pain reduction. Besides calming inflammation, they help us confirm where the pain is coming from. Delivered directly into the hip joint, these injections also give your body the chance to heal and move more freely.
Our team of skilled specialists uses advanced imaging like fluoroscopy to guide the injection right into the hip joint. This outpatient procedure is minimally invasive and usually quick. Most patients go home the same day and can get back to daily activities soon after.
Pain relief often starts within days, growing stronger over one to two weeks. Some may feel better after a single injection, while others might need a few sessions over time. To get the best results, injections are paired with physical therapy and personalized follow-up plans.
