Hip Pain Treatment at Back and Body Medical
About Our NYC Hip Pain Practice
Back and Body Medical is a multidisciplinary clinic at 133 E 58th St, Suite 708, New York, NY 10022. We diagnose and treat hip pain across the full spectrum — from acute sports injuries and bursitis to chronic conditions including gluteal tendinopathy, femoroacetabular impingement, and hip osteoarthritis — using a coordinated conservative approach.
Hip pain is frequently misdiagnosed because pain in the hip region can originate from the hip joint itself, the surrounding muscles and tendons, the lumbar spine, or the sacroiliac joint. Getting the diagnosis right is essential — and our combination of clinical assessment and on-site diagnostics means we identify the true source before recommending treatment.
Hip Conditions We Treat
- Hip osteoarthritis — degenerative joint disease causing progressive pain and stiffness
- Gluteal tendinopathy — degeneration of the gluteus medius and minimus tendons
- Greater trochanteric pain syndrome — outer hip pain from trochanteric bursa inflammation
- Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) — abnormal hip joint contact causing groin and hip pain
- Hip flexor strains — common in sprinting and kicking sports
- Labral tears — from impingement, trauma, or repetitive stress
- Deep gluteal syndrome / piriformis syndrome — sciatic nerve compression in the gluteal region
- IT band syndrome — lateral hip and thigh pain common in runners
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction — SI joint pain referring into the hip and buttock
- Referred hip pain from the lumbar spine — nerve root irritation producing hip and leg symptoms
Our Diagnostic Approach
On-site X-ray evaluates the hip joint, femoral head, acetabulum, and sacroiliac joints for structural changes and arthritis.
NCV testing differentiates hip pain from lumbar nerve root compression — essential when radiating leg symptoms accompany hip pain.

🏥 Hip Pain Treatments at Back and Body Medical NYC
Our hip treatment plans combine targeted manual therapy, rehabilitation, and advanced treatments to address the specific cause and achieve lasting functional recovery.
🏃 Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation
Hip rehabilitation addressing gluteal weakness, hip flexor tightness, and movement dysfunction — with progressive loading of the gluteal tendons for tendinopathy and bursitis, and sport-specific rehabilitation for athletic hip injuries.
🦴 Chiropractic Care
Assessment and treatment of the hip joint, sacroiliac joint, and lumbar spine — addressing joint dysfunction and nerve irritation contributing to hip pain from multiple directions.
🖐 Active Release Techniques (ART)
Specific soft tissue release of the hip flexors, piriformis, IT band, and gluteal muscles — freeing adhesions that restrict hip movement and perpetuate pain.
🔧 Graston Technique
Instrument-assisted soft tissue work targeting the IT band, gluteal tendons, and hip flexors — breaking down chronic restrictions that manual therapy alone may not fully address.
💡 Class IV Laser Therapy
Reduces hip joint and soft tissue inflammation, supports tendon healing, and provides drug-free pain relief — particularly effective alongside rehabilitation for tendinopathy and bursitis.
🧘 Acupuncture
Supports hip pain management through neurological pain modulation and reduction of local inflammation — particularly valuable for hip osteoarthritis and chronic tendinopathy.
💉 Trigger Point Injections
Targeted injections for persistent hip and gluteal trigger points — providing rapid relief and enabling rehabilitation to progress.
🌀 Spinal Decompression
For hip symptoms with a lumbar disc or nerve compression component — decompression addresses the spinal source directly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my hip pain is from my hip or my back?
Hip joint pain typically presents in the groin with restricted rotation. Lumbar or SI joint pain presents more in the outer hip, buttock, or down the leg. Many patients have contributions from both areas — which is why our comprehensive assessment is particularly valuable.
Can hip osteoarthritis be managed without surgery?
Yes, for many patients. Conservative care including targeted rehabilitation, laser, acupuncture, and manual therapy can significantly reduce pain and improve function — often delaying or avoiding joint replacement.
Do I need a referral?
No referral needed. Call 212-371-2000 or book online.
Can you help with hip pain during running?
Yes — we assess running biomechanics, hip strength, and movement patterns to identify why the hip is being overloaded and build a rehabilitation plan that allows you to return to running without recurrence.
