Hip pain can make every step, stair and night's sleep a struggle. Whether it comes from a labrum tear, arthritis, bursitis or an old injury, many patients are told a hip replacement is their only option.
Dr. House offers another path. His Prolopuncture protocol uses dextrose-based injections at acupuncture points to stimulate the hip joint to build new fibrous tissue, supported by before-and-after MRIs in the clinic.
Hip Problems We See
- Hip labrum tears
- Hip osteoarthritis
- Trochanteric bursitis
- Tendon and ligament strain
- Groin and gluteal pain
- Pain after hip injury
What Treatment Looks Like
- A typical course is 10 treatments, spaced every 2 to 3 days
- Reduced activity during the course, then a 6-month Rehab Assignment
- A non-mucus-forming diet and personalized stretching
- Heat after the first 24 hours of icing
- A follow-up MRI about 6 months after treatment, if you want to see the change
Realistic Expectations
