Patient Reviews
What Happens During Your Hip Pain Appointment
Your appointment isn’t rushed. Dr. Shore takes time to understand your symptoms and explain what’s happening inside your hip.
We Start With Your Story
You’ll describe your symptoms, when they started, what makes them better or worse, and what you’re hoping to get back to doing.
We Review Your Imaging Together
If you’ve had X-rays or an MRI, Dr. Shore will look at them with you and point out what’s happening inside the joint.
We Create a Suitable Treatment Plan
Your plan might include physical therapy, an injection, arthroscopic surgery, or hip replacement, depending on what’s going on.
We Walk You Through Recovery
You’ll receive specific instructions for therapy, healing milestones, and follow-up visits so you know exactly what to expect.
Why Your Hip Pain Isn’t Getting Better on Its Own
Hip pain is different from a pulled muscle or a bruise. It doesn’t usually heal with rest.
Most hip problems involve structural damage inside the joint. The longer they go untreated, the more the surrounding tissue compensates, which can make the pain spread or get worse.
Dr. Shore, Marina del Rey hip specialist, uses physical exams and imaging to identify the specific structure causing your pain.
Once he knows what’s wrong, he can recommend treatment that addresses the problem.
Hip Conditions and Injuries We Treat
Dr. Shore treats hip injuries and structural problems at his orthopedic clinics in Marina del Rey.
Treatment Options for Hip Pain
Anterior Hip Replacement
Dr. Shore uses a bikini-style incision at the front of the hip that works between muscles rather than cutting through them, often allowing patients to walk the same day.
Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO)
This procedure repositions a shallow socket to improve coverage of the femoral head, restoring stability for patients with hip dysplasia.
Arthroscopic Hip Surgery
A minimally invasive option that repairs labral tears and reshapes bone spurs through tiny incisions.
Tendon Repair
Restores mobility and strength for patients with gluteal or hamstring tendon tears.
Injection Therapy
Treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or corticosteroid injections may reduce inflammation and provide relief.
Sports Injury Care
Evaluation and treatment for hip injuries that occur during running, training, or competition.
Post-Operative Rehabilitation
A structured plan with therapy milestones and recovery timelines after hip surgery.
Muscles stay intact, which helps patients regain movement more quickly and avoid many of the setbacks linked to traditional hip replacement.
