Hip Pain Treatment in Fort Pierce — Without Surgery
Hip Pain Shouldn’t Set Your Schedule
Groin ache when you walk, outer-hip pain when you sleep on your side, stiffness getting out of the car — hip pain shows up in different ways depending on its source. The hip is also a deep joint, which makes accurate injection placement nearly impossible without imaging. Every hip injection at our practice is ultrasound-guided, so treatment goes exactly where the problem is.
Hip Conditions We Treat
Hip Arthritis Treatment Without Surgery
For mild-to-moderate hip arthritis, image-guided injection therapy — corticosteroid for flare control, or orthobiologics like MFAT, PRP and BMAC for longer-term management — can reduce pain and delay or avoid hip replacement. Because the hip joint is deep, guidance matters: blind hip injections carry significant risks and are frequently inaccurate, which is why ultrasound guidance is our standard for every patient.
What Treatment Looks Like
In-office procedures with Dr. O personally, most under 30 minutes, walking out the same day.

Answers from Dr. Ogunsola
The questions Treasure Coast patients search most — answered with the same honesty you'll get in the office.
What does hip arthritis feel like?
Classically: groin or front-of-thigh pain with walking or rotation, morning stiffness that loosens with movement, and a slowly shrinking comfortable range of motion. Outer-hip pain at night is more often bursitis or gluteal tendinopathy — which are treated differently.
Can a hip labral tear heal without surgery?
Many labral tears — especially degenerative ones — can be managed without surgery through activity modification, strengthening, and image-guided injection therapy. Surgery is generally reserved for younger patients with mechanical symptoms that fail conservative care.
Why does ultrasound guidance matter for hip injections?
The hip joint sits deep beneath muscle and can’t be reliably injected by feel. Ultrasound guidance lets Dr. O confirm needle placement in real time, improving both accuracy and safety.
