Hip pain
Hip pain is a common problem that can affect people of all ages, often resulting from injury, overuse, or underlying medical conditions. At RAD Clinics, we offer precise and effective ultrasound-guided hip pain injections, providing relief and helping you regain mobility.
The hip is a complex joint composed of several bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments, all working together to enable smooth movement. When any of these components are injured or inflamed, it can result in pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. Common causes of hip pain include:
- Hip Labral Tears: Tears in the cartilage that lines the hip joint can cause significant pain and discomfort.
- Trochanteric Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae, fluid-filled sacs near the hip joint, often leads to localized pain.
- Hip Osteoarthritis: Degeneration of the cartilage within the hip joint can result in pain, swelling, and reduced flexibility.
- Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI): A condition where abnormal bone growths cause the hip bones to rub against each other, leading to pain and restricted movement.
At RAD Clinics, our advanced ultrasound-guided injections target the source of your hip pain, providing fast and effective relief.

Ischial Bursitis
Ischial bursitis is the inflammation of the bursa located over the ischial tuberosity (sit bone) in the buttocks. This condition causes pain and tenderness, especially when sitting or stretching the hamstring muscles.

Common Questions We Hear From Patients
Why does my hip hurt after walking?
Hip pain after walking often indicates gluteal tendinopathy, trochanteric bursitis, hip osteoarthritis, or labral irritation from load. Gait analysis and imaging confirm diagnosis; targeted hip pain injections reduce load-sensitive inflammation and restore walking tolerance.
Why are my hips always cracking?
Persistent hip cracking usually results from tendon snapping over bony prominences (snapping hip), labral irregularities, or gas cavitation. If pain coexists, evaluation checks labrum and tendons; image-guided hip pain injections calm inflamed structures and support rehab.
Why does my hip always hurt?
Persistent hip pain commonly arises from osteoarthritis, greater trochanteric pain syndrome, labral tears, or lumbar nerve irritation. RAD Clinics diagnoses the driver and uses image-guided hip pain injections to reduce pain and support rehabilitation.
Can sciatic nerve cause hip pain?
Yes—lumbar nerve root irritation often refers pain to the buttock and hip with burning, tingling, or weakness down the leg. Nerve-targeted or periarticular hip pain injections reduce inflammation and improve function when conservative care underperforms.
Can hip pain go down your leg?
Yes—hip joint or tendon pathology frequently refers pain to the groin, thigh, or knee; nerve irritation may extend symptoms below the knee. Accurate diagnosis directs care, and image-guided hip pain injections reduce referred pain and restore mobility.
