Hip Pain
Treatment of hip pain focuses on reducing inflammation, managing symptoms and improving joint function through a combination of medications, physical therapy and lifestyle modifications. For severe symptoms, total hip replacement may be an option.
Knee Pain
Management of knee osteoarthritis typically involves a multi-faceted approach, including pain management, lifestyle changes, physical therapy and, in some cases, surgery. Joint replacement surgery is usually reserved for patients who have exhausted all other options.
Sports
ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and meniscus injuries are common types of knee injuries, often associated with sports or traumatic events. Treatment may involve conservative measures such as rest, physical therapy, and medications. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair or reconstruct the ACL or address the meniscus tear.
