Relieving Your Pain With Hip Joint InjectionsArthritis, injury, or stress in the hip, buttock, leg, or lower back can cause severe pain and discomfort. A hip joint injection at Sports Medicine North can help your doctor diagnose the specific cause of your pain and reduce your pain and discomfort. “During a hip joint injection, I am able to directly inject medicine into a patient’s hip joint,” explains Dr. Joseph J. Evans, pain management doctor at Sports Medicine North. “Using numbing medicine, I can determine the direct source of a patient’s pain, and then I use cortisone to reduce inflammation within the joint, providing long-term pain relief.” Hip joint injections can be particularly effective for patients suffering from arthritis of the hip, a recent injury, or extended wear and tear on the joint. Typically, injections are administered over a 3-week period. If you’re suffering from hip pain, call (978) 309-3066 to schedule an appointment with one of the pain management doctors at Sports Medicine North to find out if hip joint injections are right for you.
