When is it time for a hip replacement?

Hip pain isn’t always a sign that you need surgery—many people find relief with therapy, injections, or lifestyle changes. But sometimes, damage to the joint goes beyond what non surgical care can fix.

It may be time to consider a hip replacement if you’re experiencing:
✅ Persistent hip pain that doesn’t improve with rest, medications, or therapy
✅ Pain that limits walking, bending, or climbing stairs
✅ Stiffness that makes it hard to move or perform daily tasks
✅ Trouble sleeping because of hip pain
✅ X rays or imaging that show significant joint damage, arthritis, or bone-on-bone contact

A hip replacement can relieve pain, restore mobility, and give you back the activities you’ve been missing.

📞 If any of these symptoms sound familiar, call the orthopedic hip specialists at Ortho Bethesda at (301) 530-1010 to schedule your hip evaluation.
