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

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. Jonas is the best. He explains every option and every step clearly in terms non medical people can understand. He made my ugly and very painful finger straight and pain free! His staff is excellent. The wait is never long in the office and everyone is friendly and helpful. He is excellent and you will not be sorry if you make an appointment with him!

Had three surgeries with Dr. Miller, left an right rotator cuff, right hand carpal tunnel. Was best Dr. I ever had a in my 70 years I have had many Dr's. Very caring, explains every thing to be done in layman's terms that anyone can understand.

Dr Sloan takes the time to explain fully what he is doing. Excellent at identifying problem. Very professional.

Dr. Schneider, nurses, x-ray technicians, receptionist and staff members made each visit very positive and pleasant. For my injuries (both wrists), they provided me with an understandable explanation as well as reasonable expectation for my recovery.

I saw Dr. Albritton yesterday. My entire visit took less than 30 minutes. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Dr Albritton was through and to the point It was a great experience from beginning to end. I highly recommend them and Dr. Albritton.

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.

Dr Lane knows his craft. He doesn't mind taking the time to explain what you don't understand. He treats you like a person and not like a number. He cares about his patients. I have high confidence in his ability as my doctor. I have never NEVER had an issue.

Dr. Goins has done spinal surgery on me, and 3 other immediate family members. We are all so appreciative of his expertise, caring attitude, & our excellent outcomes. I cannot say enough about this excellent, compassionate, skilled surgeon!

He has been very compassionate to my problem and listens very well. He answers questions so you can understand in layman's terms, I appreciate that very much. His staff is also very approachable and they don't act like you are bothering them, as I have been treated in other offices that I have been in. I would recommend Dr. Goodman to anyone needing an excellent orthopedic dr.
