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

Excellent care and service from check in to post-op follow up. Highly recommend Dr. Albritton and Resurgens Orthopaedics.

He is wonderful and so is all his staff!

I’ve had facet injections twice & medial branch blocks once by Dr. Cone-Sullivan. She is Excellent & deffinatly knows what she is doing! I would recommend her without question. The procedures went smoothly & quickly! I believe she & her staff have managed to find the right balance of professional & personable. This atmosphere helped make the procedures surprisingly easy.

I've had several procedures done and they have been very professional and thorough every time. I would recommend Resurgens for any orthopedic procedure!!!

I am writing to express my sincere thanks to Dr. Marly N. Dows-Martinez, M.D. for her technical expertise and compassionate patient care. As a former military pilot, I developed lower back pain and radiating pain that she correctly identified as Sciatica. She took the time to listen and evaluate my symptoms, then methodically progressed through the levels or remediation. As a result of her actions, the excruciating radiating pain down my thigh and legs have gone from a 10 plus to a 1-2 level. Well done and thank you so much.

Dr. Clark and his wonderful team are amazing. I was really nervous about my condition and they put my mind at ease. Dr. Clark's bedside manner is amazing. He actually listens and takes time with me. It truly is rare nowadays.

Dr. Jeff Peretz and his team have been awesome! They are professional, friendly and attentive. Dr. Peretz spent a lot of time with us during the initial consultation for a total knee replacement and was very thorough in detailing his pre op and post op instructions! The surgery went exactly as planned and so did the recovery. Amazing improvement in range of motion and mobility. His team was supportive and responsive to phone calls. Highly recommend Dr. Jeff Peretz for Total knee replacement!

Dr. Joseph has provided outstanding support to me for almost five years now...Unfortunately I've experienced some medical issues in recent years which has required numerous physicians and surgeons and all Dr's are not the same. I have so much respect for him. He's truly a professional and expert in his field. Dr. Joseph show's compassion and cares about his patients. He and his staff (Jennifer and Angie) are the best in the business trust me!

Simply, a no nonsense medical professional whose diagnosis is based on careful observation of your specific issue. Surgery only if absolutely necessary. Dr. Wertheim treated me for both a knee and elbow issue. Thank you.

Dr. Womack has been treating me for 20 years. His knowledge is absolutely second to none. He is a kind and caring man and I am incredibly lucky to be able to have a resource such as him available for the treatment of my severely damaged left ankle. He is an excellent physician and you can ask for no one better to advise you on an injury.
