Advanced Hip Pain Treatment and Regenerative PRP Injections for Hip Pain in Southwest Florida

At Physicians Rehabilitation, we specialize in advanced hip pain treatment and regenerative PRP injections for hip pain at our state-of-the-art clinics in Naples, Fort Myers, Port Charlotte, and The Villages, Florida. The hip joint is the body’s largest and most powerful joint—essential for movement and stability. Yet according to the CDC, nearly 7% of Americans suffer from chronic hip pain, most often due to overuse, arthritis, or injury. Women are particularly affected, making effective and lasting treatment essential.

The Science Behind PRP Therapy

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a breakthrough in regenerative medicine that accelerates the body’s natural healing process. Using your own blood, PRP concentrates platelets and growth factors—biological components that stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote regeneration. This advanced technique is highly effective for conditions like osteoarthritis, tendinopathy, bursitis, labral tears, and chronic muscle strains.

When used as part of a comprehensive hip pain treatment plan, PRP therapy enhances healing of cartilage damage, tendon injuries, and degenerative joint conditions. PRP is also a trusted option for athletes who rely on faster recovery from labral tears, hamstring injuries, and repetitive strain conditions.

Common Causes of Hip Pain

Hip pain often results from:

• Arthritis and Osteoarthritis – wear and tear of the joint cartilage.

• Tendon and Muscle Injuries – including hamstring and groin tendinopathy.

• Bursitis – inflammation of the small fluid-filled sacs cushioning the joint.

• Hip Labral Tears – cartilage damage caused by trauma or repetitive motion.

Traditional therapies like physical therapy, NSAIDs, and cortisone injections often provide only temporary relief. Cortisone, while common, can actually weaken tissue over time—slowing recovery rather than promoting it.

Why Choose Regenerative PRP Injections for Hip Pain

Regenerative PRP Injections for hip pain offer a safe, non-surgical alternative with proven results:

• Significant reduction in pain and inflammation.

• Enhanced healing of cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.

• Improved joint stability and function.

• Long-lasting relief without the risks of surgery or steroids.

Studies show patients treated with PRP experience faster recovery and reduced pain severity—sometimes returning to activity in half the time compared to rehabilitation alone.

Safe, Natural, and Effective Treatment

At Physicians Rehabilitation, PRP therapy is performed by trained regenerative medicine specialists using ultrasound guidance for precision. The procedure takes about an hour, with minimal downtime. Side effects are rare and may include mild soreness or swelling that resolves within days. Most patients experience noticeable improvement within 4 to 6 weeks, with continued healing over several months.

Because PRP is derived from your own blood, it’s completely biocompatible—no drugs, no synthetic substances, and no risk of adverse reaction.

Regain Mobility and Quality of Life

Whether you’re struggling with hip osteoarthritis, labral tears, bursitis, or chronic tendinopathy, regenerative PRP injections for hip pain can help you restore function and reclaim your active lifestyle—without the risks of surgery or prolonged recovery.

Physicians Rehabilitation proudly serves Naples, Fort Myers, Port Charlotte, and The Villages, Florida, offering advanced hip pain treatment and PRP therapy tailored to your unique needs.
