The challenge
The challenge
Patients with hip pain frequently describe a deep ache in the groin or outer hip that worsens with walking, climbing stairs, or rising from a seated position. As the condition progresses, range of motion narrows, putting on shoes or socks becomes difficult, and night pain begins to disrupt sleep. Many have already been told that joint replacement is the only remaining option and want to understand whether regenerative approaches may delay or avoid surgery.

The Process
The Process
Hip condition evaluation at TC Regen begins with a clinical examination by the orthopedic surgeon or interventional pain physician. The assessment includes gait analysis, range-of-motion testing, provocative maneuvers (FABER, FADIR, impingement testing), and review of weight-bearing radiographs or MRI where indicated. The diagnosis separates intra-articular sources such as osteoarthritis and labral tears from extra-articular sources such as gluteal tendinopathy and bursitis, which determines whether regenerative options are appropriate or whether surgical referral is the clinical priority.
Conditions Evaluated
TC Regen evaluates and treats hip osteoarthritis, acetabular labral tears, gluteal (abductor) tendinopathy, greater trochanteric pain syndrome, iliopsoas tendinopathy, and post-surgical pain. Advanced osteoarthritis with severe joint-space loss or structural collapse may be referred for arthroplasty consultation, though some patients pursue regenerative therapy to manage symptoms or as an adjunct to other care.
Treatment Approach at TC Regen
Hip conditions at TC Regen are treated through image-guided regenerative injections, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), mesenchymal stem cell therapy provided under Florida HB 1617, and exosome therapy. Because the hip is a deep joint, ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance is standard to confirm accurate intra-articular or peritendinous placement. The specific protocol is selected according to the structural diagnosis.

What Patients Can Expect
Most hip injections are completed in a single in-office visit lasting 30 to 45 minutes. Patients generally resume sedentary activity the same day and return to low-impact movement within 5 to 7 days, with weight-bearing guidance tailored to the procedure. Symptomatic change typically develops gradually over 6 to 12 weeks as the regenerative response matures. A structured physical therapy and load-management plan is often integrated to support hip mechanics and functional recovery.
