Don’t Let Hip Pain Affect Everyday Tasks
Hip pain often begins as stiffness or a mild ache. It may progress into discomfort during sitting, standing, rest, or exercise. Many patients reach a point where even simple tasks feel difficult.
Dr. Shore, a hip specialist serving Orange County and Los Angeles, evaluates the joint using a diagnostic process that identifies the structural source of pain.
Hip Conditions and Injuries We Treat
Treatment Options for Hip Pain
Anterior Hip Replacement
Dr. Shore performs total hip replacement using an anterior approach with a bikini-style incision. This technique places the incision along natural skin lines, improves cosmetic appearance, and supports reliable wound healing.
Periacetabular Osteotomy
An open surgical procedure that repositions a shallow hip socket to improve stability and reduce joint damage in patients with hip dysplasia.
Arthroscopic Hip Surgery
A minimally invasive option that repairs labral tears and reshapes bone contributing to impingement.
Partial Hip Replacement
Replaces only the damaged portion of the joint while preserving healthy tissue.
Joint Preservation Surgery
Procedures such as arthroscopy, periacetabular osteotomy, and femoral osteotomy that aim to reduce pain and preserve the native hip joint.
Tendon Repair
Restores mobility and strength for people with gluteal or hamstring tendon tears.
Injection Therapy
Guided treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or corticosteroid injections may reduce muscle inflammation.
Sports Injury Care
Evaluation and treatment for hip injuries that occur during running, training, or competition.
Post Operative Rehabilitation
A structured plan with therapy steps and recovery milestones after hip surgery.
