Get private hip pain treatment with an orthopaedic consultant
Hip pain can affect many aspects of your daily life, from walking and exercising to sitting comfortably or sleeping well. Whether your symptoms developed gradually over time or appeared suddenly following an injury, understanding the cause of your pain is an important part of finding the right treatment.
Hip pain can occur for several reasons, including joint conditions, inflammation, soft tissue injuries, or pain referred from nearby areas such as the lower back. Because symptoms can vary significantly between individuals, careful assessment is important for identifying the underlying cause and recommending the most appropriate treatment approach.
At The Beaumont Hospital, your care is focused on relieving pain, improving movement, and supporting long-term joint health.
From your initial consultation through to treatment and follow-up care, every stage of your treatment plan is tailored to your individual symptoms, lifestyle, and recovery goals.
Hip pain can develop for a variety of reasons and may affect different parts of the hip and surrounding area depending on the underlying cause. You may notice discomfort deep within the hip joint itself or experience pain around the groin, thigh, buttock, or outer hip.
For some people, symptoms worsen during movement, prolonged sitting, or weight-bearing activities such as walking or climbing stairs. Others experience stiffness, weakness, reduced flexibility, or aching that gradually affects daily life and mobility.
Common causes of hip pain include joint wear associated with osteoarthritis, inflammation of structures around the hip joint, tendon or muscle injuries, and strain caused by repetitive movement or changes in posture and joint mechanics. Hip pain may also occur following an injury such as a fall or sporting accident.
During your consultation at The Beaumont Hospital, your specialist will take time to understand your symptoms fully, assess how they affect your lifestyle, and identify the most likely cause of your pain. This helps ensure your treatment plan is tailored to your individual needs and recovery goals.
The cost of your hip pain treatment will depend on various factors, from your symptoms and the condition causing them, to which treatment is recommended. We’ll work with you to develop a tailored treatment plan, and you’ll receive a full breakdown of costs before making your decision.
You can choose to fund your treatment through self-pay (paying for yourself) or use private health insurance. We work with most major providers, and our friendly advisory team can help guide you through using your cover.
Our flexible payment options help you spread the cost of your payment across a time period that suits you. We offer fixed-term monthly payment plans over one to five years with no deposit required. If you decide to pay over 10 months, you will pay interest-free. If you are paying for a longer period, you will pay 9.9% APR.
Diagnostic investigations can help build a clearer understanding of the cause of your hip pain and guide the most appropriate treatment approach. At The Beaumont Hospital, access to modern diagnostic imaging supports accurate assessment and personalised care planning.
X-rays can help assess the joint structure and identify changes such as arthritis, while MRI scans provide detailed images of your soft tissues, cartilage, and surrounding structures.
Not everyone with hip pain requires imaging, and investigations are only recommended when clinically appropriate and likely to influence your treatment plan. Any findings will be explained clearly so you understand how they relate to your symptoms and what they may mean for your recovery.
Hip pain treatment at The Beaumont Hospital is tailored to your symptoms, diagnosis, and overall health needs. Because hip pain can arise from several different causes, your treatment plan is designed to address both the source of discomfort and its impact on your daily activities and mobility.
In many cases, non-surgical treatment can successfully improve symptoms, particularly when treatment begins early. Physiotherapy often forms a key part of recovery, with targeted exercises designed to improve flexibility, strengthen the muscles supporting the hip joint, and restore movement patterns.
You may also receive guidance on posture, movement habits, activity modification, and lifestyle adjustments that can help reduce strain on the hip joint during everyday activities. Pain-relieving medication or anti-inflammatory treatment may also be recommended to help manage symptoms more comfortably.
In some cases, targeted injection therapy may be appropriate. Steroid injections can help reduce inflammation within the hip joint or surrounding tissues, improving comfort and allowing rehabilitation exercises to be carried out more effectively.
Your consultant will explain all suitable treatment options clearly, helping you understand the benefits of each approach and what to expect throughout your recovery.
Surgery may be considered if non-surgical treatment has not provided sufficient relief or if there is structural damage within the hip joint that requires correction. At The Beaumont Hospital, your consultant will discuss whether surgery may be beneficial based on your symptoms, imaging results, and overall mobility goals.
Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat problems within the hip joint. It may be recommended for conditions such as cartilage damage, labral tears, or structural abnormalities that have not improved with conservative treatment.
During the procedure, your surgeon makes small incisions around the hip and inserts a thin camera called an arthroscope to examine the joint in detail. Specialised instruments are then used to repair or remove damaged tissue and address underlying issues within the joint.
Because arthroscopy uses keyhole techniques, recovery can often involve less disruption to surrounding tissues and smaller scars compared with traditional open surgery. Physiotherapy remains an important part of rehabilitation following the procedure.
Hip replacement surgery is commonly recommended when there is significant damage within the hip joint, most often caused by advanced osteoarthritis. The procedure involves replacing damaged parts of the joint with artificial components designed to improve movement and reduce pain.
Hip replacement is a well-established procedure that can significantly improve mobility, comfort, and quality of life. Many patients find everyday activities such as walking, standing, and climbing stairs become much easier following recovery.
Recovery includes structured rehabilitation and physiotherapy to help rebuild strength and restore movement safely. Your consultant will explain the procedure, expected recovery, and potential risks clearly so you feel fully informed before making any decisions about surgery.
