Hip Pain Treatment at DRHC Dubai

Hip pain can significantly affect your daily life-limiting mobility, disrupting sleep, and making routine tasks difficult. At DRHC Dubai, our expert orthopedic specialists provide comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plans to effectively manage and relieve hip pain, helping you regain comfort, strength, and movement.

What Is Hip Pain?

Hip pain refers to discomfort in or around the hip joint. It can originate from the joint itself or structures surrounding the hip, such as muscles, ligaments, tendons, or nerves. The pain may be sudden or develop gradually and can range from a dull ache to sharp or burning sensations.

Common Causes of Hip Pain

At DRHC Dubai, we diagnose and treat a wide range of hip pain causes, including:

• Osteoarthritis – Wear-and-tear arthritis, causing joint inflammation and stiffness.
• Rheumatoid arthritis – an Autoimmune condition that damages the joint lining.
• Hip bursitis – Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the hip.
• Hip labral tear – Injury to the cartilage ring around the hip socket.
• Tendinitis – Inflammation of tendons from overuse or strain.
• Hip fractures – Often related to falls or osteoporosis in older adults.
• Muscle or ligament strain – Often sports-related or due to repetitive use.
• Sciatica – Nerve pain radiating from the lower back to the hip and leg.
• Avascular necrosis – Bone tissue death due to reduced blood supply.

You should consult a specialist at DRHC Dubai if you experience:

• Persistent or worsening hip pain
• Swelling or tenderness in the hip area
• Difficulty walking or bearing weight
• Stiffness or reduced range of motion
