Osteoarthritis of the hip can range on a spectrum in terms of severity, it often progresses over time, leading to increased pain and mobility issues. Without the proper treatment, it can be a highly serious condition. Individuals might experience stiffness and discomfort in the early stages, especially after periods of inactivity or prolonged use. However, as the condition advances, it can significantly impact one's quality of life in a myriad of ways, making even simple tasks daunting and painful. The progression of osteoarthritis in the hip can lead to pain and immobility, leading to muscle deterioration and joint instability, which in turn increases the pain. For some, this condition can be managed with non-surgical treatments and lifestyle adjustments, but others may require surgical intervention to restore mobility and reduce pain. Managing hip osteoarthritis will be dependent on the individual’s overall health, severity of the symptoms, and impact on daily life and the experts at Specialty Medical Center will be able to provide a personalized treatment plan that best suits your needs.
