Hip & Leg Pain

Hip and leg pain does not have to control how you walk, stand, sleep, or live.

Hip and leg pain can make everyday movements feel difficult — walking, standing, climbing stairs, getting in and out of the car, sleeping on your side, exercising, or even sitting comfortably for long periods of time.

You may have been told your pain is related to arthritis, inflammation, joint degeneration, nerve irritation, sciatica, muscle weakness, poor circulation, or wear and tear in the hip, pelvis, spine, or surrounding joints. You may have also tried pain medication, cortisone injections, braces, physical therapy, stretching, rest, or other treatments that only helped temporarily.

At Pain Free Orlando, we look at how your hip and leg pain is affecting how you function and whether a non-surgical care plan may be appropriate for your condition.

This may sound familiar.

You may feel hip or leg pain when walking, standing, climbing stairs, getting out of a chair, getting in and out of the car, sleeping, exercising, sitting too long, or trying to stay active.

Maybe the pain started slowly. Maybe it began after an injury, accident, fall, or years of wear and tear. Maybe it has been getting worse over time.

You may have already tried:

Pain medication
Anti-inflammatory medication
Cortisone injections
Physical therapy
Stretching
Rest
Ice or heat
Braces or supports
Massage
Chiropractic care
Avoiding certain activities
Waiting to see if it improves

Some people get temporary relief, but the pain returns. Others are told they may need surgery, joint replacement, or more invasive treatments even though they are not ready to take those steps.

If that sounds like you, it may be time to take one more objective look.

Why hip and leg pain may keep coming back

Hip and leg pain is not always just a hip or leg problem.

The pain may be connected to arthritis, inflammation, joint degeneration, nerve irritation, sciatica, poor movement patterns, past injury, muscle imbalance, or how your body reacts to pressure when you walk, stand, sit, or move.

In some cases, pain in the hip, thigh, knee, or leg may be related to how the lower back, pelvis, hip joint, and surrounding muscles are working together.

When the underlying issue is not addressed, temporary treatments may only help for a short time.

That does not mean surgery is your only option. It means the next step should be understanding what may be contributing to the pain before making any decisions.

The traditional route vs. our approach

Many people with hip and leg pain are offered medication, cortisone injections, physical therapy, braces, pain management, or told to wait until the problem becomes severe enough for surgery or joint replacement.

Those options may help some people. But if your pain keeps coming back, you may want to know whether there is another path before making a major decision.

At Pain Free Orlando, we take time to understand your hip and leg pain, your history, what you have already tried, and how the pain is affecting your life.

From there, our Care Team will help determine whether a non-surgical, therapeutic and regenerative approach may be right for you.

How we help

Our approach is not based on a generic package.

If we believe we may be able to help, our Care Team will consider your condition, your level of pain, your mobility, your previous treatments, and your goals.

For some patients, the goal is walking with less pain. For others, it is standing longer, climbing stairs, sleeping better, getting in and out of the car more comfortably, staying active, avoiding surgery, or getting back to normal daily life.

Before making any recommendations, we will explain what we are seeing, what the next step may be, and whether you may be a good candidate for care.

Am I a candidate?

You may be a candidate if hip or leg pain is affecting how you walk, stand, sleep, sit, exercise, drive, or enjoy your daily life.

You may also be a candidate if:

You have tried injections, medication, therapy, stretching, rest, or other temporary treatments
Your pain keeps coming back
You have pain when walking, standing, climbing stairs, or getting out of a chair
You have pain that travels from the hip into the thigh, knee, or leg
You have stiffness, weakness, or limited mobility
You were told your pain may be related to arthritis, sciatica, joint degeneration, inflammation, or nerve irritation
You were told surgery or joint replacement may be the next step
You want one more objective look before considering surgery
You want to know whether a non-surgical care plan may make sense

The consultation exists to help answer that question.

If we believe we may be able to help, we will explain the next step clearly. If we are not the right fit, we will point you in the right direction.
