Hip arthritis doesn’t just slow you down—it can make even the simplest movements feel like a struggle. Whether it’s difficulty standing up after sitting, trouble getting your socks and shoes on, or aching pain after a short walk, the frustration of limited mobility is all too real. And if you’ve tried medications, injections, or other treatments that only offer short-lived relief, you may be wondering: Is there a better solution?
At mPower Physical Therapy, we specialize in Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) for hip arthritis, an innovative, non-invasive treatment designed to kickstart your body’s healing process, relieve pain, and restore mobility—without surgery or long recovery times. If hip arthritis has been keeping you from the activities you love, it’s time to take back control.
Why Does Hip Arthritis Cause So Much Pain?
Osteoarthritis, the most common form of hip arthritis, occurs when the protective cartilage in your hip joint wears down over time. But here’s something most people don’t realize: It’s not just the cartilage loss causing the pain—it’s the surrounding tissues (muscles, bone, tendons), lack of blood flow, and chronic inflammation.
This is why when you get an MRI and it looks awful, and the doctors are perplexed as to why you are NOT hurting that bad, versus someone whose MRI looks good but they are in so much pain.
This happens all the time. It is not the cartilage or lack of cartilage that is causing the pain. Cartilage has no nerve supply. It is all the soft tissue structures and bony changes due to degeneration (lack of blood supply).
When your hip joint isn’t getting enough blood circulation, the body struggles to repair itself, leading to stiffness, swelling, and persistent discomfort. This is where Shockwave Therapy comes in—it reactivates blood flow, promotes cellular repair, and helps your body naturally heal the damaged tissues.
How Shockwave Therapy for Hip Arthritis Works
Unlike treatments that only mask symptoms, Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) for hip arthritis targets the underlying dysfunction, encouraging true healing. It has the ability to get deep enough to hit the hip joint to start the healing process in the areas that are damaged.
This makes ESWT very helpful for targeting joint pain associated with arthritis, trigger points or deeper tissue (such as the hip). It can also speed up the healing process of fractures or stress fractures.
ESWT is laser focused and has the ability to very specifically target the area of damage in the body. ESWT is also strong enough to not only stimulate growth factors, increase blood flow and bring in healing nutrition to the cells, but it has the ability to trigger stem cell activation and differentiation to help speed the healing process and truly regenerate the tissue.
During a session, here’s what happens:
- A specialized handheld device delivers high-energy acoustic waves to the affected area.
- These shockwaves stimulate blood flow, break down calcifications, and trigger the body’s regenerative processes.
- Over time, this therapy reduces inflammation, improves mobility, and alleviates pain at its source.
Each session lasts about 30-30 minutes, and most patients start noticing results within a few treatments. Because the therapy works at a biological level, the improvements continue long after the sessions end.
We recommend 6 treatments to get the full effects of stem cell production and truly regenerate the tissue which continues on with improvements 3 months after the last treatment.
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy for Hip Arthritis
People dealing with hip arthritis often feel stuck between two extremes—either live with the pain or opt for invasive surgery. Shockwave Therapy offers a powerful third option:
Pain Relief Without Medications – No reliance on painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs.
Enhanced Mobility – Move more freely, without the constant stiffness.
Long-Lasting Results – Targets the root cause of pain instead of masking symptoms.
Non-Invasive & Safe – No surgery, no needles, no lengthy recovery time.
Stimulates Healing – Encourages the body to repair damaged tissues and improve joint function.
