Hip Pain Therapy
in Englewood, NJ
At Comprehensive Wellness in Englewood, NJ, we look at the whole picture of hip pain. History. Movement. Daily life. Then we build a personal treatment plan that helps relieve pain, restore joint mobility, and get you back to what you do. From sudden hip pain to long-running osteoarthritis, we match care to you—often without surgery or early hip replacement. Real life. Real progress.
The hip joint is powerful and busy. A true complex joint linking trunk and leg, wrapped in muscles, soft tissues, and strong hip bones. Pain has many paths: sports injuries, a labral tear, bursitis, a hip fracture from a fall, or flare-ups of arthritis (including rheumatoid arthritis).
Overload counts too. Repetitive stress, heavy training, sitting for long periods. Changes in blood supply can irritate tissues, too. You might feel knee pain, pain deep in the groin, the outer buttock, or even along the upper thigh. Sometimes, the most common causes hide another clue. That’s where a careful differential diagnosis and precise hip diagnosis matter.
We start with a detailed conversation, physical exam, and movement screen. Then we pick the pieces that fit so you stay safely physically active while symptoms settle.
Treatment options may include:
Platelet-rich plasma concentrates growth factors from a small blood draw and places them where they’re needed most. They’re helpful for gluteal tendinopathy, bursitis, mild osteoarthritis, or some labrum-related discomforts. In-office. Non-surgical. Most people resume light activity the same day. PRP pairs naturally with physical therapy for better blood flow, stronger muscles, and steadier joint support.
When pain spikes, targeted corticosteroids can relieve symptoms fast. They reduce pain and quiet irritation in the joint or bursa so you can train good patterns again. Relief can last weeks to a few months. Use the window. Build strength.
Thoughtful, non-surgical care means fewer limits and fewer bad days.
You may be a fit if you have sudden hip pain, overuse pain, bursitis, gluteal tendinopathy, early osteoarthritis, labral tear–type symptoms, difficulty walking, or pain referring to other areas like the thigh or knee.
Who isn’t a fit for injections? Active infection, bleeding disorders, or relevant allergies. If we suspect a major structural issue, unstable hip fracture or advanced degeneration, we’ll discuss imaging and other treatments, including surgery only when it’s the best path.
Expect a focused talk, physical exam, and movement testing: gait, single-leg stance, hip rotation. Wear clothes you can move in. If injections are planned, we may ask you to pause certain NSAIDs. Your physical therapist will set simple homework: mobility, activation, and strength progressions that ease hip pain without provoking it. Short sessions. Clear cues. Steady gains.
Most plans start with clinic-guided and home work: open tight flexors/rotators, activate the glutes, stabilize the pelvis, then layer resistance training. If you’re receiving PRP or a steroid injection, we cleanse the skin, use a topical or local anesthetic, and place medication/PRP precisely into the joint or tendon. Typical visit time: 30 to 45 minutes. In. Treated. Back to your day.
General tips: start small, progress gradually, apply ice after tougher days. Mind posture in the chair. Break up long periods of sitting. Walk. Let the plan do the work.
Costs depend on your mix of physical therapy, bracing/taping, PRP vs. steroid injection, and visit count. Your estimate spells out what’s included (evaluation, procedure time, supplies, follow-ups). Coverage varies by GEO and plan. We’ll outline options so you can choose what fits.
Physician-led, Englewood-based care with rehab and injections under one roof. Sports medicine perspective. Practical wins. We focus on results you can feel—relieve hip pain, improve mobility, and keep you walking strong. We track what matters: function, durability, confidence. That’s the point.

Very common. Hip pain is a common complaint in active adults, desk workers, and post-injury patients. You’re not alone.
Therapy changes can show in weeks; steroid injections may help within days. PRP builds more gradually.
It depends on cause, activity, and consistency. Strength and mobility work help results last.
Some mechanical problems need surgery. Many cases stay manageable with progressive rehab and targeted injections.
Yes, activity pacing, gentle exercise, weight management, and short-term apply ice can help. If severe pain or difficulty walking persists, see us for a proper workup—American Family Physician–level screening, Kelley’s textbook basics, and real-world coaching baked in.
