Why Choose Hip Replacement?

If hip pain is keeping you from the activities you love—walking, exercising, or even getting out of bed comfortably—you may be a candidate for hip replacement surgery. This procedure is designed to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve your overall quality of life.

Signs You May Need a Hip Replacement

  • Persistent hip pain that limits daily activities
  • Stiffness that makes it hard to move or bend
  • Difficulty standing, walking, or climbing stairs
  • Hip pain that persists even when resting
  • No relief from medications, injections, or therapy
