Hip pain: diagnosis and treatment
Hip pain can come from the joint itself (osteoarthritis) or from the surrounding structures (bursitis, tendinitis). Pinpointing the source is key to getting the treatment right and avoiding unnecessary procedures.

- Pain in the groin, buttock or side of the hip
- Pain when walking or climbing stairs
- Pain when lying on your side at night
- Stiffness and loss of mobility
My approach
With ultrasound I locate the source of the pain and treat it precisely: ultrasound-guided injections for bursitis or tendinopathies, and nerve blocks for pain control in selected cases.
Frequently asked questions
Is hip pain always osteoarthritis?
No. Often the pain comes from bursitis or tendinitis around the hip, which are treated without surgery and with very good results.
