Hip Pain Treatment in Wichita, KS

If you are experiencing hip pain in Wichita or surrounding areas including Andover, Derby, Mulvane, Wellington, Winfield, Newton, Maize, Goddard, McPherson, Augusta, El Dorado, Eastborough, Bel Aire, and the greater Sedgwick County region, it can interfere with walking, sleep, and daily activities. Hip Pain can significantly affect your quality of life.

At Kansas Pain Consultants, we specialize in accurate diagnosis and non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment of hip pain, including advanced nerve-targeted therapies for complex or persistent hip pain.

Common Causes of Hip Pain

Hip pain can originate from the joint itself or surrounding structures.

Understanding the various factors contributing to hip pain is crucial for effective management.

Common causes include:

• Hip osteoarthritis
• Greater trochanteric bursitis
• Gluteal tendinopathy
• Labral tears
• Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)
• Referred pain from the lumbar spine or SI joint
• Cluneal neuropathy (often underdiagnosed cause of lateral hip/buttock pain)
• Post-surgical hip pain

Because hip pain can overlap with back or SI joint conditions, proper diagnosis is critical.

Symptoms of Hip Pain

Patients may experience:

• Pain in the outer hip, groin, or buttock
• Pain with walking, standing, or lying on one side
• Stiffness or reduced range of motion
• Pain when getting in and out of a car
• Burning or nerve-like pain over the lateral hip or upper buttock (possible nerve involvement)

Our Approach to Hip Pain Diagnosis

At Kansas Pain Consultants, we focus on identifying the true source of your hip pain.

Your evaluation may include:

• Detailed history and physical examination
• Review of imaging (X-ray, MRI if needed)
• Assessment for overlapping spine or SI joint conditions
• Identification of nerve-related pain generators, including cluneal nerve involvement
• Diagnostic injections and nerve blocks

This allows us to create a targeted, individualized treatment plan.

Non-Surgical Hip Pain Treatments in Wichita

We offer a full range of minimally invasive treatments:

Conservative Treatment Options

• Physical therapy coordination
• Anti-inflammatory medications when appropriate
• Activity modification and strengthening programs

Image-Guided Hip Injections

• Intra-articular hip injections for arthritis and labral pathology
• Greater trochanteric bursa injections for lateral hip pain
• Diagnostic injections to identify the pain source

Advanced Interventional Treatments

• Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for select chronic pain conditions
• Targeted nerve blocks, including cluneal nerve blocks for suspected neuropathy

Nerve-Related Hip Pain & Cluneal Neuropathy

Some cases of hip and buttock pain are caused by irritation of small sensory nerves, particularly the cluneal nerves, which supply the upper buttock and lateral hip region.

Cluneal neuropathy is often overlooked and may be mistaken for:

• Low back pain
• SI joint pain
• Trochanteric bursitis

Patients may benefit from targeted nerve blocks or advanced nerve therapies when this condition is identified.

Advanced Neuromodulation for Chronic Hip Pain

For patients with persistent or nerve-related hip pain that has not responded to other treatments, we offer cutting-edge neuromodulation therapies:

Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Stimulation

• Targets specific nerves responsible for hip and groin pain
• Highly effective for focal pain syndromes
• Provides precise, long-term pain relief

Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)

• Targets peripheral nerves around the hip and buttock
• Minimally invasive with trial options before permanent placement
• Effective for chronic nerve-related pain, including cluneal neuropathy

These therapies are especially beneficial for patients with chronic, refractory pain or post-surgical pain syndromes.

Hip Pain After Surgery or Persistent Pain

Some patients continue to experience pain after hip replacement or prior procedures. This may be related to:

• Nerve irritation or injury
• Persistent inflammation
• Referred pain from the spine or SI joint

Advanced treatments such as DRG stimulation and PNS can provide meaningful relief when other therapies have failed.

• Hip pain persists despite rest or therapy
• Pain limits your ability to walk, sleep, or exercise
