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

Dr. Jacob Strong has treated me for a variety of conditions, over a period of 4 years, most recently, for a large synovial cyst on my spine, as a result of DDD. Over the course of numerous appointments and treatments, Dr. Strong has proven to be a totally dedicated, and thorough healer. I have come to know him well, have observed his caring and dedication in multiple office and surgery centers. Every other patient I have encountered through my experiences has shared my view...so very grateful.

Dr. Hui is the BEST. He is professional, caring and listens intently to my concerns. He is very knowledgeable and able. I've had two successful surgeries with Dr. Hui and would not hesitate to go back about any other issues.

Amazing care. I went with a broken ankle two days ago and everyone was so kind and made me feel so cared for, I called that morning and they were able to fit me in on the same day. Carol the NP was excellent and so kind. I would recommend the facility to anyone experiencing a broken bone. I’m glad this is the place I went with.

As a chiropractor of over 30 years, I send many patients for spine surgery and I'm always looking for great surgeons. Dr Goins keeps up with the latest techniques and performs surgery only when it's in the best interest of the patient. He is tops on my list of trusted doctors

Dr. Hall has been my doctor for many years. He was very patient with my knee issues; he helped me with my arthritis in every way he could until I finally made the decision to have a knee replacement. My knee surgery went very well. Dr. Hall was empathetic and honest about the procedure. My results have been great and I owe it to his professionalism and excellent skills. Plus - Dr. Hall is super nice and I feel like he genuinely cares about me.

I had surgery with Dr. Jeffords and it was 100% successful. I have been pain free for 5 years. I have recommended him to several people in St. Simons where I live .....they have had spine surgery with Dr. Jeffords and they thank me because their surgeries were 100% successful too. He is a GREAT Surgeon...patient, kind, knowledgeable and talented.

Dr. Bailey fixed my "Frankenfoot" (bunion and hammertoes) that had bothered me since my teens! The pain had become so bad that it interfered with everything. I cant believe I have a normal looking, functioned foot..why did I wait so long? I normally see him at Emory Midtown, and it's easy in and out. John and Nele (his PAs) are great too. All very responsive to call, emails, endless questions. The surgeons, the staff, the billing folks, the facilities...all have been wonderful! I'm hope I'm done with ortho stuff, at least for a long while, but if something else needs fixing, Resurgens would be my first call.

I fractured my foot and was terrified of what would come next. This place is big, clean and you can feel the overall positive vibes from the entire staff. The x-ray techs took great care in the x-rays to make sure not to hurt me. The assistant Regina had me laughing while being careful and thorough with my cast. Dr. Raj Bohle was kind, knowledgeable, and answered all my questions. Specifically asked me what I needed, and reassured me that I would heal fine. The other two assistants were positive and kind and everyone put me at ease. Everything ran like clockwork here and I'm so thankful, since broken bones are scary.

Dr Koch is wonderful and my wife has been seeing him for 5 years. We drive all the way from Gainesville, Ga to visit him and his staff. One of the best things about Dr. Koch is that he cares about my wife and is able to help her manage her pain. Thanks.

Dr. Bircoll replaced my right hip and had some complications. He got everyone on board and helped me at each turn. I trust Dr. Bircoll so much that he is now going to replace the left hip. His office staff also goes above and beyond to make sure you understand everything that is going on. I highly recommend Dr. BIRCOLL!
