Hip pain
A complex joint requires complex care
Healthy hips play an important role in helping you stay active, comfortable, and independent. When hip pain or a hip condition develops, it can affect nearly every aspect of daily life, making it harder to move freely and enjoy the activities you love. Over time, hip problems can impact mobility and confidence, but effective treatment can help you get back to living life on your terms.
At Penn Medicine, we're committed to helping you find relief and regain movement. Our expert orthopaedic hip specialists provide personalized care for a wide range of hip conditions, creating treatment plans tailored to your needs and goals. Whether you benefit from physical therapy, nonsurgical pain management, or advanced surgical care, you'll have access to the latest treatment options and leading-edge research. With convenient locations throughout the region, Penn Medicine makes it easier to receive exceptional hip care close to home, so you can focus on feeling better and getting back to what matters most.
Conditions we treat
Hip pain treatments that address every angle
Whether you need nonsurgical hip treatment or surgical intervention, Penn Medicine is dedicated to improving your hip health and overall quality of life. Our Joint Replacement Program offers both conventional and robotic-assisted hip replacement to restore mobility and relieve pain. The Hip Preservation Center offers innovative nonsurgical and surgical procedures to reduce pain, preserve hip functionality, and potentially delay or prevent hip replacement.
Because hip fractures in older adults are very common and time-sensitive, we have established a system-wide alert that brings together a team of specialists ready to treat older adults with hip fracture. Through the Geriatric Hip Fracture Program, older adults experiencing fragility fractures of the pelvis receive timely, dedicated care in order to address the complex needs often associated with falls.
Advanced sports medicine puts hips back in play
Activities such as running, cycling, or golfing can lead to hip injuries that require medical attention. If you’re experiencing pain in your hip after playing a sport or exercising, we have a dedicated sports medicine team that can recommend options to get you back on your game.
