Hip pain can make everyday movements, such as walking, sitting, and exercising, uncomfortable or restrictive. Whether symptoms develop gradually through wear and tear or follow injury or inflammation, persistent hip pain can significantly affect quality of life. LivingCare provides specialist hip pain treatments in Sheffield and Leeds.
Hip pain refers to discomfort, stiffness or reduced movement affecting the hip joint or surrounding structures, including muscles, tendons and bursae. The hip is a major weight-bearing joint that provides stability and power during movement, making it particularly vulnerable to injury and degenerative changes.
Hip pain may develop suddenly after trauma or build gradually over time. In some cases, symptoms persist and become chronic hip pain, continuing despite initial treatment. Often it is caused by osteoarthritis of the hip: a condition that around 10% of people over 45 years old in Scotland suffer from, for instance. Specialist assessment helps determine whether pain originates from the hip joint itself or from nearby soft tissues, guiding appropriate hip pain treatment.
Symptoms vary depending on the cause, but may include:
Hip joint pain can develop for a range of reasons, including:
Identifying the underlying cause is essential for selecting the most effective treatment approach.
Mild hip pain may settle with rest, activity modification or physiotherapy. However, specialist assessment is recommended if pain persists despite conservative care, symptoms limit work, daily activities or exercise, or stiffness and discomfort continue to worsen. Early intervention can prevent symptoms from becoming long term and support more effective recovery.
Following a detailed consultation, your consultant may recommend one or more treatment options based on the cause of your symptoms. Our hip pain treatment in Sheffield and Leeds includes:
Hip joint injections are commonly used to reduce pain and inflammation within the joint or surrounding structures. They may help improve mobility and make rehabilitation exercises more effective.
Ultrasound guidance enables accurate delivery of injections to the affected area, improving precision and targeting the source of pain.
Steroid injections may help reduce inflammation associated with conditions such as hip osteoarthritis pain, bursitis or tendon inflammation, providing symptom relief for some patients.
Hyaluronic acid injections aim to improve joint lubrication and cushioning and may be suitable for certain degenerative hip joint conditions.
PRP and Endoret therapies use components of your own blood to support tissue healing and may be considered for selected tendon or joint problems.
Your consultant will discuss which option is most appropriate and whether image-guided treatment is recommended.
Most people tolerate hip injections well and can return to gentle activities within 24 to 48 hours. Strenuous exercise and heavy loading are usually avoided for a short period to allow the treatment to settle.
By reducing pain and inflammation, hip pain treatment can help improve walking comfort, support physiotherapy and restore confidence in movement. The duration of relief varies by treatment and underlying condition.
Long-term hip health often involves a combination of treatment and rehabilitation. Strengthening exercises, load management and addressing biomechanical factors can reduce the risk of pain returning. Managing underlying inflammatory or degenerative conditions also plays an important role in preventing ongoing hip pain.
