Atlanta Hip Doctors

Hip pain affects millions of people annually. Early treatment is key to avoiding further complications. At Resurgens Orthopaedics, our Atlanta hip specialists aim to diagnose the cause and develop personalized treatment plans. Schedule an appointment to explore options for your mobility.

Understanding Hip Anatomy

The foundation of your mobility lies in the hip joint, the largest ball-and-socket joint in the body. Imagine a smooth, rounded ball (femoral head) at the top of your thigh bone (femur) fitting snugly into a cup-like socket (acetabulum) in your pelvis. This simple design allows for a wide range of motion, from walking to jumping. But the hip is more than just connecting bones: Powerful muscles surround the joint, providing strength and control for everyday movement. Understanding the hip's structure empowers you to describe your hip pain to your doctor better, and work together to find the right treatment for you.


What Causes Hip Pain?

Due to the hip's complexity, hip pain can originate in many different parts of the joint. Common hip conditions include arthritis, injuries from overuse or accidents, and bursitis, the inflammation of fluid sacs cushioning the joint.

Muscle strains, tendonitis, and bone abnormalities can also contribute to hip pain. If you're experiencing hip pain, our Atlanta hip specialists at Resurgens Orthopaedics can help pinpoint the cause and create a personalized treatment plan.

When Should You See a Doctor For Hip Pain?

If you're experiencing significant hip pain or limitations in movement that affect your ability to sit, stand, or walk comfortably, it's time to see one of our hip doctors in Atlanta. Here are some other symptoms that signal you should see a hip specialist:

  • New or persistent hip pain

  • Difficulty moving your hip or leg

  • Inability to put weight on your leg

  • Hip pain following a fall or injury

  • Sudden swelling or redness around the hip

  • Hip pain accompanied by fever or chills

Keep looking for her smile to come around the corner every day đŸ˜¢. I will never forget you. Love and miss you Dr. C.

First visit and I am sold! This visit was informative and satisfying. Dr. Cahoon was very friendly, knowledgeable of my condition and took time out to educate me on my condition, by demonstrating with the model knee in his office. He was not eager to take me under the "knife"(surgery) suggested alternative possibilities. I left the visit happy, encouraged, informed and at Peace.

Dr. Gleason was comforting. compassionate, competent and comprehensive in his treatment of the total rupture of Achilles Tendon of my left leg. He provided the first temporary plaster, and a week later operated upon my leg. The follow up was prompt and efficient. I had to contact him over phone early in the morning, and his guidance was clear, and very professional.

Excellent surgeon with a comfortable bedside manner. The entire office was easy to deal with and always eager to make sure that my mom was well cared for. Everyone went the extra mile to fully explain every detail of the procedure and answer any questions or concerns that we had. Scheduling or changing appointments was an easy process as well.

My heart is broken to hear this. Dr. C was amazing and will be greatly missed

The Staff at Resurgens orthopaedics are the best and the care is excellent. Dr David Goodman is a very good, friendly caring and compassionate. I even received a call from my Doctor personally and the nursing Staff after my surgery. The Fayelvilke team and particularly the surgical center team in Morrow are just exceptionally wonderful. I love u guys. Keep up the good work and the excellent care.

Had three surgeries with Dr. Miller, left an right rotator cuff, right hand carpal tunnel. Was best Dr. I ever had a in my 70 years I have had many Dr's. Very caring, explains every thing to be done in layman's terms that anyone can understand.

I have been to this office twice Dr. Doug Widener and all the staff have been absolutely fantastic. Dr. Widener exceeded my expectations and figured out quickly my issues. I have a horrible fear of needles but he managed to relax me enough that it wasn’t so bad at all! Highly recommend this office and Dr. Widener and love that they have a physical therapy unit in the same office!

I was referred to this practice and Dr. Kim by Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville after three different Doctors in my area in TN had given me different diagnoses. It was way past time for some action on the problem and I was very happy with the care and professionalism. I am now going back for another irreverent joint even though it is quite a drive and needed to stay over post-op.

I have been under the care of the Resurgens Orthopaedics in Lawrenceville for about 8 years and I could not be more happy with the level of professional care I have received. Dr. Mary Albert - A total hip replacement, Dr. Raymond Hui - Rotator Cuff surgical repair, Dr. Edward Middlebrooks - Surgery for removal of failing cervical disc. I have been exceptionally pleased with each of the Resurgens physicians care for the above issues. For me the MOST important factor in evaluating a providers care is RESULTS!
