Many Georgia patients come to us with hip injury and the same core questions: what caused it, and how soon will I feel better?

Symptoms you might notice

What tends to cause it

• Falls, especially in elderly
• High-impact accidents
• Repetitive strain injuries
• Avascular necrosis

What the research shows

Hip pain in adults has many causes including osteoarthritis, tendon problems, and bursitis, so identifying the source guides treatment. ^[1]
