Hip Osteoarthritis Treatment That Looks Beyond Just Your Hip
A deep ache in the groin. Grinding when you pivot. Getting out of a chair feels like an event. You’re not imagining it, and you’re not “just getting old.”
A deep ache in the groin. Grinding when you pivot. Getting out of a chair feels like an event. You’re not imagining it, and you’re not “just getting old.”
We assess the whole chain, not just the sore joint.
Your hip, pelvis, low back, knee, and ankle all get evaluated for contributors to your pain.
Advanced technology paired with targeted rehab.
Focused shockwave, EMTT, manual therapy, and progressive strengthening in one coordinated plan.
Long-term support, not a quick fix.
Progressive aftercare to build strength and help you stay active without constant re-treatment.
60-minute one-on-one assessment + treatment plan.
No pressure, no contracts.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
Pain deep in the groin or front of the hip, especially when walking, climbing stairs, or standing from a chair
Morning stiffness that takes a few minutes (or longer) to loosen up
Physio or exercises have helped a little, but the pain keeps coming back
You’ve been told your X-ray “looks bad” and surgery may be coming
You’re looking for real non-surgical options before committing to a hip replacement
The Real Problem

Most people have several of these happening at once. That’s why we assess the whole chain, from your low back to your ankle, not just the painful spot.
OUR APPROACH
INITIAL VISIT
Full movement and strength testing of your hip, pelvis, low back, knee, and ankle
Identify which pain drivers are most relevant in your case
Review of your imaging and history, then a clear written plan with transparent pricing
First 4 to 8 Weeks
Focused shockwave therapy to reduce pain and stimulate tissue response at the hip joint
EMTT to target deep structures and support bone and cartilage biology
Chiropractic adjustments and manual therapy to improve hip mobility and reduce capsular restriction
Make walking, stairs, and getting up from a chair tolerable, fast.
8+ Weeks and Beyond
Progressive strengthening targeting glutes, hip stabilizers, and trunk control
Mobility and movement retraining to correct compensatory patterns
Ongoing support to build joint resilience and maintain your progress long-term
What To Expect
Every case is different, but research and our clinical experience consistently show:
Noticeable pain reduction within 4 to 8 weeks of starting shockwave and manual therapy, with continued improvement beyond that window.
Meaningful functional gains in the activities that matter most: walking longer distances, getting in and out of chairs, navigating stairs, and sleeping more comfortably.
A realistic path to delaying or avoiding hip replacement for many patients with mild to moderate hip OA, by addressing both symptoms and the drivers behind them.
Our promise: we will tell you honestly at the assessment if we don’t believe you’re a good candidate for this approach. If your condition needs something different, we’ll refer you directly.
EVIDENCE
Focused shockwave therapy has been shown to significantly reduce pain and improve function in hip osteoarthritis in a double-blind, sham-controlled randomized trial.
Manual therapy (including joint mobilization) improved pain, range of motion, and hip function scores compared to exercise alone in a randomized clinical trial of hip OA patients.
Structured exercise programs reduce pain and improve daily function in hip osteoarthritis, supported by multiple randomized controlled trials.
EMTT has demonstrated the ability to stimulate osteogenic and tissue-repair pathways in laboratory studies, supporting its biological plausibility for joint-related conditions.
Clinical practice guidelines recommend combining manual therapy with exercise for hip mobility deficits in osteoarthritis.
Outcomes are group averages from clinical trials; individual results vary.
