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

With two boys in sports, we spend a lot of time here. We all see Dr Makhuli and he and his staff are amazing! Two surgeries, lots of broken bones, and mom with a bad knee - he handles us all with flexibility in his schedule and fantastic attitude.

I traveled 130 miles to have Dr Hall do my knee replacement, the best doctor and very pleased with the results. The staff is wonderful , the all are so professional but very caring.

Great bedside manner! took time to explain my diagnosis and treatment. he answered all my questions. unlike some docs, he genuinely cares about me and my health. I strongly recommend him to other folks with orthopedic problems.

Excellent "staff" and front desk! As for the caregivers... Jason under Dr Ansari. Dr Ansari, Yarbrough, Raut, and PRETESH..EXCELLENT. And the staff for EACH OF THESE ARE GREAT. VERY SWEET, prompt, and move things along.

I was involved in an accident which left my right hand and wrist in a lot of pain. She went above and beyond before, during, and after my surgery. Dr. Bilbrew is not only extremely knowledgeable but she was also extremely attentive. She took the time to explain each step of treatment to me in a way which I could understand. I am forever grateful to Dr. Bilbrew for making my road to recovery as quick and easy as possible. After her treatment, I am pain free! I owe it all to Dr. Bilbrew!

I met Dr. Arthur Raines after a severe injury to my left leg and ankle in 2013. He did repair all injuries and get me back walking, running, and extreme sporting. His bedside manner is impeccable. He kept me informed throughout the episode, and used up to date surgical techniques to hasten healing and limit adverse side effects. Thank you Dr.Raines.

Dr Carantzas is the best. Have been going to them for years and all the doctors and staff go above and beyond to help their patients Thank you I appreciate you

Dr. Chambers is an exceptional physician. She has treated my spine problems for several years, and I would not see any other doctor. She is very knowledgeable about the spine, and she has a great "bedside manner." She is soft-spoken, looks you in the eye when she speaks, and makes sure that any and all questions you may have are answered before you leave. Her staff is friendly and helpful. I love Resurgens and Dr. Chambers!

I've been a patient for 12 years, and have a wonderful relationship with the M.A.'s and Dr. Perez. My trust in her knowledge and experience is unwavering!. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, regarding their Dr.'s care, and this is mine!

I had hip replacement surgery on 1/2/19 and walked with minimal assistance of a cane on 1/17/19. I found Dr. Claps and staff to be professional and efficient. My questions were always answered and explanations given for medications and procedures to be preformed. Dr. Claps called personally before and after surgery. I could not have chosen a better surgeon for my procedure. I also found other staff at Resurgens to be friendly and helpful.
