Are You a Candidate for Regenerative Hip Treatment?
In some cases, hip surgery is necessary. In many cases, regenerative medicine is a viable alternative to hip surgery. To discover whether you’re a candidate for regenerative hip repair without surgery, come in for a free consultation at your local QC Kinetix clinic. We will meet with you, review your medical records, answer all your questions, and conduct a thorough examination.
You are a good candidate for nonsurgical hip pain treatment if:
- Your chronic hip pain that has not responded well to conventional treatments.
- You have osteoarthritis (OA).
- You want to be able to do your favorite activities again.
- You want to avoid the pain and potential complications of surgery.

If any of these describe you, we look forward to meeting with you to explore our regenerative alternatives to hip surgery.
Benefits of
Nonsurgical Hip Treatments
There are multiple benefits to our regenerative hip pain treatments without surgery.
Less Invasive
Regenerative hip pain therapy is a minimally invasive treatment option, offering a less invasive alternative to hip surgery. Unlike surgery, which typically requires anesthesia and involves more extensive procedures, regenerative therapy focuses on healing and restoring the knee with minimal disruption to the surrounding tissues.
Faster Recovery
Hip surgery causes major trauma to the body, requiring a lengthy recovery:
- Hospital stay: typically, 1-4 days
- Opioid pain relief: about 1 week
- Subsequent pain meds: 3-4 months
- Use of walker/cane:1-4 weeks
- Return to work: typically, 6-12 weeks
- Return to full activity: 6-12 months
With our regenerative alternatives to hip surgery, there is no need for pain medications or missing a day of work.
Lower Risks
The risks of hip surgery include:
- Bleeding
- Blood clots
- Infection
- Nerve damage
- Stiffening joint
- Pneumonia
- Post-traumatic arthritis
In contrast, the primary risk associated with regenerative medicine is mild soreness for one to two days, making it a less invasive and therefore safer option for pain relief.
