Why Early Treatment Matters

Hip pain often becomes more severe over time, limiting your ability to stay active and independent. Early treatment may help reduce inflammation, improve joint function, and delay or avoid hip replacement surgery.

Reduce Chronic Hip Pain

Treat inflammation that contributes to ongoing hip discomfort.

Minimally Invasive Alternative to Surgery

Avoid large incisions, lengthy hospital stays, and extended rehabilitation whenever possible.

Improve Mobility

Walk, exercise, and perform daily activities with greater comfort and confidence.

Faster Recovery

Most patients return home the same day and resume normal activities within several days.

Understanding Chronic Hip Pain

What Causes Hip Pain?

Hip pain can develop from several conditions affecting the joint, tendons, muscles, or surrounding soft tissues. Common causes include:

Hip osteoarthritis
Gluteal tendinopathy
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS)
Hip bursitis
Tendinitis
Chronic inflammation from overuse or injury

These conditions often produce ongoing inflammation that contributes to pain and reduced mobility.

What Happens If Left Untreated?

Without treatment, chronic inflammation and joint degeneration may continue to progress, leading to worsening pain, reduced mobility, muscle weakness, and limitations in daily activities.

Early treatment may help improve function while preserving the natural hip joint.

Common Symptoms

Patients with chronic hip pain may experience:

Pain in the hip, groin, or outer thigh
Stiffness after sitting or resting
Pain while walking or climbing stairs
Difficulty standing from a seated position
Reduced range of motion
Pain during exercise or prolonged activity
Difficulty sleeping on the affected side

Risk Factors

Several factors may increase your risk of chronic hip pain, including:

Aging
Osteoarthritis
Previous hip injuries
Repetitive physical activity
Obesity
Sports participation

Hip Pain Treatment Options

If medications, injections, or physical therapy have not provided lasting relief, minimally invasive treatment may be an option.

Minimally Invasive Treatment for Hip Pain

At NovaGen Interventional, we offer Hip Artery Embolization (HAE) for select patients experiencing chronic hip pain caused by inflammation.

What Is Hip Artery Embolization?

Hip Artery Embolization is an image-guided procedure that reduces abnormal blood flow to inflamed tissues surrounding the hip joint.

By decreasing inflammation, HAE may relieve pain, improve mobility, and help patients delay or avoid surgery while preserving the natural joint.

What Happens During Hip Artery Embolization?

During the procedure, a small catheter is inserted through a tiny puncture in the wrist or groin. Using advanced fluoroscopic imaging, the catheter is carefully guided to the arteries supplying the inflamed tissues around the hip.

Tiny embolic particles are then delivered to reduce abnormal blood flow associated with chronic inflammation while preserving healthy circulation.

The procedure typically takes one to two hours and is performed under conscious sedation.

Benefits of Hip Artery Embolization

Same-Day Procedure

Most patients return home the day of treatment.

Faster Recovery

Many patients return to normal daily activities within several days.

Improved Mobility

Reducing inflammation may improve walking, climbing stairs, and everyday movement.

Long-Lasting Pain Relief

Many patients experience meaningful improvements in pain and function over the weeks and months following treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hip Artery Embolization

Am I a Candidate for Hip Artery Embolization?

Patients with chronic hip pain caused by inflammatory conditions who have not improved with medications, injections, or physical therapy may be candidates. A consultation and imaging evaluation will help determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you.

Is the Procedure Painful?

Hip Artery Embolization is performed under conscious sedation, and most patients experience little discomfort during the procedure. Mild soreness afterward is generally temporary.

How Long Does Recovery Take?

Most patients return home the same day and resume light daily activities within several days. Improvements in pain and mobility typically continue over the following weeks as inflammation decreases.

Will I Still Need Hip Replacement Surgery?

Many patients experience meaningful symptom improvement after embolization and may be able to delay or avoid hip replacement. However, patients with advanced joint damage may still require surgery. Your physician will discuss the most appropriate treatment for your condition.

Will Insurance Cover Treatment?

Coverage for Hip Artery Embolization varies depending on your insurance provider and the condition being treated. Our team will verify your benefits and discuss your coverage before treatment.
