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

Understanding Hip Treatments

Patients Trust Our Atlanta Hip Doctors

I visited Dr. Jonas to discover I had a seriously fractured scaphoid in my right wrist. After giving me all my options to correct this condition I chose to have Dr. Jonas remove and reshape the bone and a screw was inserted. I was extremely pleased with Dr. Jonas as well as everyone at the office I have dealt with. I would highly recommend Dr. Jonas to anyone in need of similar services. Approximately 10 years ago Dr. Jonas repaired a similar bone in my left wrist. Great results on both!

Dr. Achecar is a Great Doctor He operated on my Knee and I did not have any pain at all. Everything went smooth. I have recommended 2 people to him and they were well pleased. He needs 10 stars. Would not use anyone else.

Dr. Cahoon performed a total left hip replacement surgery on me Nov. 14, 2016 and my life is forever changed. I am no longer in pain as a matter of fact I didn't feel any pain the day after surgery because I was up and walking with a walker of course. Dr. Cahoon and the staff at Piedmont Henry made me feel so relaxed before and after my surgery. He was so kind and attentive to make sure I was ok. I would refer him to anybody that need joint replacement surgery.

Every appointment with Dr Dopson has been stat since I have had debilitating pain, due to a herniated disc. He and his staff have been so accommodating & wonderful to me! Every request I have made & need I have is always addressed in a timely manner by his wonderful MA Candy. My first visit I was a work in, and I know I put him behind, but he still took the time to review everything with me & answer all of my questions. He is very thorough, knowledgable, & compassionate toward his patients.

Saw Dr. Traub for a knee problem. When the conservative treatment didn't work, I was scheduled for a MRI and then arthroscopic surgery within 3 weeks. Dr. Traub and his staff take the time to explain the problem and the solution. I have never had to wait longer then 10 minutes in the outer or inner office. I love that the PT is down the hall. Great continuity of care.

Dr Wertheim is fantastic! He cares about his patients; he takes time to answer all the questions posed. I highly recommend him.

Prior to seeing Dr. Stewart, my foot/ankle deformity caused a great deal of pain for over 6 years. Dr. Stewart went over my options, was extremely compassionate, understanding and very thorough. We made a plan that began with pre-surgery physical therapy, then surgery, now post op PT. 3 weeks ago I walked pain free for the first time in over 6 years!! My only question is why did it take me so long to find Dr. Stewart!? Best team EVER!! Thank you very much and God Bless you Dr. Stewart!!

Excellent staff, excellent surgeon. I had back surgery, quite extensive, and have not had a moment of difficulty. I would recommend Dr. Ali Mortazavi highly.

Dr. Walton is an excellent doctor! I highly recommend him. He is knowledgeable, caring, and professional.

Very professional place. They actually treat you like a human, not a dollar sign. Very glad I made the choice to see Dr. Perez and then Kenin in Physical Therapy, very nice and easy to talk to.
