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

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!

The entire experience was excellent. What I appreciated most was Dr. Titelman spending time showing me my xrays, helping me understand the fracture I had, and why it should heal fine given its location. The staff were also friendly and very efficient.

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.

I just can't say enough about Resurgens and Dr. Chris Blanchard. I have had moderate to severe pain in my neck, shoulders, and right arm for many years. Dr. Blanchard did ACDF for me on 2 levels 10 days ago, and I feel better than I have in 20 years! I'm essentially pain free! Dr. Blanchard is caring, patient, and professional - I would highly recommend him! And the office staff at the Cumming office is friendly, professional and efficient - one of the best run medical offices I have ever visited. I would highly recommend Resurgens and Dr. Blanchard!

Dr. Yarbrough did total knee replacement. He and his staff are very compassionate and caring. Answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner and in terms I could understand. I highly recommend Dr. Yarbrough.

My husband Eddie Rush had neck surgery performed by Dr Middlebrooks April 2018 and he was very pleased with him and the results. Dr Middlebrooks ordered xrays and explained in detail what the problem was with the neck and what the surgical procedure would and would not correct due to arthritis also being involved with the issue. He took the time to explore the problem explain the issues in great detail and offer what the surgical procedure would change about Eddies quality of daily life. Eddie has been very pleased and grateful for the relief of constant pain resolved by the surgery performed by Dr Middlebrooks. The entire staff of Dr Middlebrooks and Resurgens Orthopedics are an invaluable asset to anyone suffering from any type of orthopedic issue. We would highly recommend them and in fact my sister and my niece both had treatment and foot/ankle surgery at Resurgens Orthopedics in Lawrenceville years ago. We hope we do not need them again but have full confidence of the help we would receive if we did. Thoroughness, Thoughtfulness, Compassionate, Results and Relief !!

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.

Outstanding!!! Had a pretty bad compound fracture on my leg. But I was so fortunate that Dr. Bruggers was available that Sunday morning to operate on my leg. No complications whatsoever. The next day, I was able to walk (with walker), dress and bathe myself. Didn't take any painkillers from the second day on. 2 weeks later, am able to walk short distances w/o crutches. Absolutely amazing. She's the best!!!

Able to access my patient account and check in online for my appointments. So up with the times. From the office staff, assistants, nurses, NP's, to the doctors...they are all professionals and courteous. Very knowledgeable as well. Thank you Resurgens.

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.
