Hip Pain Treatment:
A Complete Guide

There’s no single treatment that resolves every cause of hip pain. The right approach depends on which structure is involved and how long you’ve had symptoms. Override brings the right combination of care together in one coordinated plan.

How Hip Pain Is Treated

Care Pt

Physical Therapy

Targeted strengthening and movement retraining addressing gait, muscle imbalance, or joint mechanics, matched to whether your pain is bursitis, impingement, muscular, or arthritis-related.

Pain Medicine

For some patients, non-opioid medication management can help reduce pain enough to participate more fully in movement-based treatment.

Injections and Procedures

In select cases, a pain specialist may discuss a corticosteroid injection for significant bursitis flare-ups, or refer for imaging or surgical evaluation for structural issues that haven’t responded to conservative care.

Pain Psychology

Persistent hip pain can bring frustration and activity avoidance. Pain-focused therapy addresses these patterns directly.

What to Expect

Your first visit focuses on understanding your specific presentation: which structure is involved, how long you’ve had symptoms, and what’s already been tried.

From there, your care team builds a plan matched to your situation.

Timelines vary. Your team will help set realistic expectations based on your specific case.

Real Results

“I learned a lot about myself – what I could do to help myself, how I can help myself with my toolbox, that medication isn’t always the answer. My care team showed me how to cope with the pain and deal with everything.”
