It may be difficult to sit, walk, or even sleep comfortably if you have hip pain. It could be a quick stab, a deep aching, or a stiffness that worsens with movement. This ache can eventually slow you down and restrict your everyday activities.
For pain relief and movement restoration, 5th Avenue Medical Wellness provides hip joint injections in New York City. These safe, non-surgical injections provide long-lasting relief by immediately reducing inflammation in the hip joint.
What Is a Hip Joint Injection?
A hip joint injection is a quick and easy way to get medicine directly into your hip joint. Pain relief, edema reduction, and improved mobility are the objectives. When rest, stretching, or physical therapy have failed, this treatment is very helpful. It provides quick, targeted relief by focusing on the precise spot that is generating the pain.
To precisely direct the injection, we employ imaging technologies such as ultrasonography or X-rays. This guarantees that the medication reaches its precise location.
What Conditions Can a Hip Injection Help Treat?
Hip joint injections are used for many common conditions, such as:
- Osteoarthritis in the hip
- Labral tears
- Hip bursitis
- Tendonitis or soft tissue inflammation
- Hip impingement (FAI)
- Pain after hip surgery or injury
- Chronic stiffness or swelling
If you’ve tried other treatments and still feel discomfort in your hip, this injection may help.
How Do Hip Injections Work?
Hip pain often starts with inflammation inside the joint or around nearby tissues. This swelling can press on nerves and limit your movement.
A hip injection works by calming the inflammation. The steroid reduces swelling. The anesthetic provides quick pain relief. Together, they help your joints move more easily and reduce the pain signals going to your brain.
What’s Inside the Hip Injection?
The injection usually includes two parts:
- A corticosteroid to bring down inflammation
- A numbing medicine (anesthetic) for fast pain relief
These medications are injected directly into the joint space — no opioids or heavy drugs involved.
What to Expect During the Hip Injection Procedure
The procedure is quick, usually around 20 to 30 minutes. It’s done right in our office.
Here’s what happens:
- You’ll lie down on your back or side
- We clean the area and numb the skin with a small needle
- Using X-ray or ultrasound, we guide a thin needle into the hip joint
- The medicine is slowly injected
- You’ll rest briefly, then you’re free to go home
Most patients feel little to no discomfort. Some say it feels like a bit of pressure. You can go back to light activities the next day.
