    Hip Pain Treatment

    At Mayo Clinic Healthcare in London, our orthopaedic hip doctors provide expert assessment, diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of hip conditions. Using advanced imaging and a multidisciplinary approach, we develop personalised care plans tailored to your individual needs.

    Hip pain can affect mobility, independence and overall quality of life. Our aim is to identify the underlying cause promptly, and guide you towards the most appropriate and effective treatment.

    • The hip is a complex joint that plays a central role in movement and stability. It supports the body’s weight and enables activities such as walking, bending and standing.

      At Mayo Clinic Healthcare, our specialists diagnose and treat a broad range of conditions, including:

      • Acute injuries such as sprains and fractures
      • Chronic conditions, including tendon disorders and osteoarthritis
      • Structural abnormalities affecting joint alignment and function

      Without appropriate treatment, hip conditions may lead to:

      • Reduced mobility and joint stiffness
      • Persistent pain, sometimes radiating to the knee
      • Muscle weakness and imbalance
      • Increased risk of falls and reduced stability

    • You may benefit from specialist assessment if you experience:

      • Persistent pain in the groin, outer hip or buttock
      • Reduced range of motion or stiffness
      • Swelling, bruising or tenderness around the joint
      • Clicking or catching sensations
      • Weakness in the leg
      • Limping or difficulty walking
      • Pain when lying on the affected side

      Hip pain can sometimes be mistaken for knee or lower back discomfort. A thorough clinical assessment helps to accurately identify the source of your symptoms.

    • Hip pain can arise from a variety of causes. While some are short-term and self-limiting, others may require specialist care.

      Common causes include:

      • Injury or trauma
      • Repetitive strain affecting muscles and tendons around the hip
      • Degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis
      • Inflammatory or underlying medical conditions
      • Biomechanical issues, including hip impingement

      A precise diagnosis is essential to ensure appropriate and effective treatment.

    • At Mayo Clinic Healthcare, diagnosis is led by experienced consultants supported by advanced musculoskeletal imaging. This allows for a detailed and accurate understanding of your condition.

      Investigations may include:

      • X-rays to assess bone structure, alignment and joint changes
      • MRI scans to evaluate soft tissues such as cartilage, ligaments and tendons
      • Ultrasound imaging for dynamic assessment and guided procedures
      • CT scans for detailed analysis of complex conditions

      Where appropriate, your care may involve collaboration with specialists in radiology and physiotherapy. For more complex cases, our London team can also draw on the wider expertise of Mayo Clinic in the US. 

    • We offer a comprehensive range of treatments, tailored to your diagnosis, lifestyle and personal goals. Wherever appropriate, we prioritise non-surgical and minimally invasive approaches to support effective recovery with minimal disruption.

      At our private orthopaedic clinic, your care may include:

      • Specialist assessment for minimally invasive procedures involving joints, tendons and ligaments
      • Non-surgical management of arthritis, sprains, soft tissue injuries and chronic pain
      • Evaluation of complex or persistent symptoms, including post-surgical concerns
      • Personalised care for sports-related injuries
      • Support from a dedicated nursing team, including plaster care, wound management and fitting of medical aids
      • Image-guided injections, including corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid and platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
      • Ultrasound-guided procedures to target pain and promote healing

      Our multidisciplinary team works closely together to ensure your care is coordinated, responsive and aligned with your long-term health, mobility and wellbeing.

    • Your consultation will be thorough, unhurried and focused on your individual concerns.

      During your appointment, your specialist will:

      • Take a detailed medical history and discuss your symptoms and current limitations
      • Perform a comprehensive physical examination
      • Assess movement, strength and joint function
      • Review any previous imaging or test results
      • Recommend further investigations or treatment where needed

      You will have time to ask questions and discuss your preferences, ensuring you feel informed and confident in your care plan. 

    • Patients choose Mayo Clinic Healthcare for urological care because of our commitment to clinical excellence, advanced diagnostics, and personalised treatment.
