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

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

I have the pleasure of having Dr Boe as my surgeon. He’s the best!!!! I had a hip replacement with him , and so,so happy I did. This man knows his stuff. Thank you Doc. Three weeks out,and I’m still DANCING ???? And his staff (Nurse Karen) is the nicest woman you want to meet.

My knee surgery was 2008, 2011 and pain free. Thank You Dr. Albert. I would/will recommend my friends and family to you. You're the best!!

We love and miss you Dr C. ❤️❤️❤️

I have osteoarthritis and have had 6 hand surgeries with Dr. Holliger. You won't find a better hand surgeon or a better surgery center than Dr. Holliger or Resurgens. After 3 cyst removals, 2 carpal tunnel releases, and most importantly, removal of the bone at the base of my thumb, I am virtually pain free. I have no scars from the cyst removals or the carpal tunnel releases and never even took a pain pill afterwards. Dr Holliger took excellent care of me and I highly recommend him. I wish I had met him 15 years sooner. Needless suffering over fear of painful surgery was a total waste of time. I can't say enough about how my quality of life has improved because Dr. Holliger is such a great surgeon. One more surgery to go and I will be good as new! Thank you for taking such good care of me!

She will be and is deeply missed ❤️😢

I am a new patient. She is very friendly, down to earth, and knowledgeable. I was SO impressed with her, that I am passing her business cards on to several of my friends who would benefit from seeing her. I truly wish all doctors connected with her patients like she does. In addition, her staff has been working for her for a long time. This tells me that she treats her employees well. May good things continue to happen for Dr. Satterwhite!

I had a AC separation last year and was taken care of almost immediately after the injury and was given great guidance and support through the recovery time. Doctor Albert did a great job and was very helpful when I had questions and concerns. Recovery went great and haven't had a problem since.

5 Stars all the way, Dr. Gleason is aces in my book, the whole staff was on point with everything that was needed for my wife's surgery, Very well maintained clean offices, staff very personable and friendly, I can honestly say without a doubt the best medical experience I have ever gone thru! No wait time, in and out, no fuss no muss!

Dr. Krystal Chambers is an exceptional physician; thorough, knowledgeable, excellent communicator, patient. I would return to her in future should I even need further orthopedic care, and recommend her. Very happy with my treatment at Resurgens, and with all the staff there.
