Osteoarthritis of the Hip

For persistent hip joint pain that has not responded to conservative measures, options include:

• Radiofrequency ablation targeting the articular branches of the femoral and obturator nerves supplying the hip joint, providing sustained relief without affecting joint structure or motor function. Evidence supports meaningful pain reduction lasting up to twelve months in appropriately selected patients
• Regenerative therapies including platelet-rich plasma to reduce intra-articular inflammation and support the joint environment, particularly in earlier stages of disease
• Image-guided joint injections to reduce acute inflammation and improve comfort during flare-up periods

To address the mechanical contributors to hip pain and protect joint function:

• Targeted hip strengthening and mobility exercises to reduce loading on the joint
• Gait retraining and activity modification to minimise daily mechanical stress
• Weight management support to reduce the cumulative load through the hip

Across all types of osteoarthritis and stages of hip involvement, the goal at Painacea is to:

• Delay or avoid the need for osteoarthritis surgery where clinically appropriate
• Reduce dependence on oral anti-inflammatory or opioid medication
• Preserve mobility, function, and quality of life for as long as possible
