Hip Pain
At our Raynham, MA clinic
Hip osteoarthritis, labral pain, and tendinopathy — regenerative care for the hip joint.
Hip pain often shows up in the groin, side of the hip, or even the knee. It can come from the joint itself, the labrum, gluteal tendons, or the SI joint nearby. Precise diagnosis matters — different pain generators respond to different treatments.
Understanding the hip
A deep ball-and-socket joint that carries the body's full weight.
The hip transfers force from the spine and pelvis into the leg with every step, sit, and stand. Pain can come from the joint itself — cartilage, labrum, or the hip capsule — or from the surrounding tendons, muscles, and bursae that absorb load. Because the hip is so central to movement, problems here often show up as groin pain, stiffness, or referred discomfort into the thigh or buttock. At Regenerative Medicine of Raynham, we evaluate the hip as a load-bearing system so we can match the right regenerative therapy to the tissue causing your pain.
