Hip

Get help for your hip pain close to home. Our orthopedic care teams in Carson City and the Lake Tahoe region work to understand the cause of your hip pain and discomfort.

The hip is a complex and highly mobile joint, and hip pain may be tricky to pinpoint. Repetitive strain and tendonitis are the most common injuries, especially in athletes, but strains, pulls, fractures, and dislocations can also occur.

Hip arthritis can leave you with pain in your groin, front of the hip, or deep in your buttocks, which typically worsens with activity and improves with rest. Your hip specialist will work with you to plan the best treatment for your hip pain. Advanced hip arthritis can be treated surgically with a total joint replacement.
