Hip pain can make simple things hard: putting on socks and shoes, getting in and out of a car or auto, sitting cross-legged, climbing stairs or sleeping on your side. Because the hip, lower back and buttock are so closely linked, hip pain is also one of the most commonly misdiagnosed problems. At Dr Heal Pain Cure Hospital in HSR Layout and Banashankari, our pain specialists find out whether your pain is really coming from the hip, and treat it without steroids or surgery.

Why patients choose Dr Heal for hip pain
- We check the hip, back and pelvis together. Many people treated for “hip pain” actually have a back or SI joint problem, and the reverse. We find the true source.
- Early diagnosis of serious causes. Conditions like avascular necrosis do best when caught early, so we look for them carefully.
- Surgery is the last resort. We start with treatments that help you avoid or delay a hip replacement, and if surgery is truly your best option, we tell you honestly.
- Everything under one roof. Imaging support, laboratory tests and a 24/7 pharmacy are on site. See our facilities.
- Open day and night. Both branches are open 24 hours, seven days a week. Meet our doctors.
Our non-surgical hip pain treatments
Guided rehabilitation
Strengthening the buttock and core muscles and improving hip movement is the foundation of treatment for most hip problems, including arthritis and tendon pain.
Weight and daily-life advice
Reducing extra weight takes load off the hips. We also advise on chair and bed height, getting in and out of vehicles, footwear and when a walking stick helps. Read about diet and arthritis pain.
Steroid-free regenerative hip injections
When a worn hip joint, an inflamed bursa or a painful tendon is slow to settle, our doctors may add an injection to the exact spot. We use our own regenerative medicine prepared through Dr Heal Pharma, with no steroids, no painkillers and no antibiotics. This matters for the hip in particular: steroid use is itself a known risk factor for avascular necrosis, so a steroid-free approach is a safer choice for many patients. Learn more about regenerative medicine.
Functional medicine and clinical nutrition
Inflammation, blood sugar, bone health, weight and sleep all affect how much a hip hurts and how well it heals. Our functional medicine and nutrition team looks at these together, so you rely less on tablets. Here is why painkillers are not the long-term answer.
How your treatment works
- Call or book online. Call 07969288086 or book an appointment. Bring any scans and your medicine list.
- A careful examination. Your doctor checks the hip, lower back, SI joints and how you walk.
- Imaging only if needed. An X-ray or MRI is arranged when it will change your treatment, for example to rule out AVN.
- Your treatment plan. You leave with a clear, non-surgical plan and know exactly what happens next.
- Follow-up to keep you moving. We track your pain and movement and adjust the plan as you improve.

Frequently asked questions
Can hip pain be treated without surgery?
For most people, yes. At Dr Heal, rehabilitation, weight management, functional medicine and steroid-free regenerative injections help most types of hip pain. Surgery is usually considered only for advanced joint damage that stays disabling despite proper treatment.
Is my hip pain actually coming from my back?
It might be. Pain in the buttock or down the thigh often comes from the lower back or SI joint, while true hip joint pain is usually felt in the groin. Your doctor will examine both to find out.
What is avascular necrosis and who gets it?
It is a condition where part of the hip bone loses its blood supply. It is more common in younger adults who have taken steroids, drink alcohol heavily or have certain medical conditions. Early diagnosis matters, so groin pain in these situations should be checked promptly.
Can I avoid a hip replacement?
Many people can delay it, sometimes for years, with the right non-surgical care. It depends on how damaged the joint is and how much pain limits your life. We will review your X-ray and give you an honest opinion.
Do Dr Heal’s hip injections contain steroids?
No. When an injection is part of your plan, it is a steroid-free regenerative injection prepared through Dr Heal Pharma, with no steroids, painkillers or antibiotics.
Is walking good for hip pain?
Usually, yes, on flat ground and in comfortable shoes, in short regular spells. If walking makes you limp or the pain much worse, we will adjust your activity and build strength first.
