Hip Arthroscopy

Prior to undergoing any surgical procedures, there are some nonoperative, conservative options for treating your hip pain that Dr. Rogerson will consider. They include:

Physical Therapy
An exercise program may be prescribed to strengthen the muscles in the hip joint and in many cases improve positioning of the hip and relieve pain.

Anti-Inflammatory Medications
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs, may help temporarily treat inflammation and pain in the hip joint. Please note, however, that all medications have risks and should only be taken under the direction of Dr. Rogerson.

Corticosteroid Treatment
In some cases, Dr. Rogerson may prescribe corticosteroids, such as prednisone or cortisone, if NSAIDs do not relieve pain. Please note, however, that all medications have risks and should only be taken under the direction of Dr. Rogerson.
