🦴 Hip Pain in Pickerington? Here’s When Surgery Might Be the Right Move
Hip pain in Pickerington? Here’s when surgery might be the right move — and how Dr. Collins makes it smoother.
If you're in Pickerington and struggling with nagging hip pain, you're not alone. Whether it's a dull ache that won't quit or a sharp jolt with every step, hip pain can slow you down — at work, at home, and everywhere in between.
But when does discomfort cross the line from manageable to surgical?
At Collins Ortho, we help Pickerington patients figure that out every week.
🚩 Know the Red Flags
Not all hip pain means surgery. But these signs may indicate it's time to take the next step:
Pain that limits your daily life – If it hurts to walk, stand, or sleep, your joint may be more than just inflamed.
No relief from injections or therapy – Conservative care has a limit. If it's stopped working, it's time to re-evaluate.
Pain that keeps you up at night – Constant discomfort — especially while resting — suggests deeper joint damage.
X-rays show bone-on-bone arthritis – Imaging doesn’t lie. If your joint is worn out, it's time for a new plan.
🧠 The Evaluation: No Guesswork
At Collins Ortho, we use precise diagnostics to get to the root of your pain — not just treat symptoms. That includes:
Targeted X-rays and advanced imaging
In-office movement evaluation
A clear, straightforward explanation of your options
You’ll leave knowing if surgery is necessary — and if so, why.
