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

RIP Dr. C. We have truly lost a remarkable woman.

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!

I have used Dr. Miller twice in the past, and since he has a reputation as the best shoulder surgeon in North Atlanta, I scheduled my reverse shoulder replacement surgery with him. He has assembled a great team of specialists. I found them to be experienced, friendly, caring and very helpful. His PA, Pete, has been his side-kick for many years and his experience was obvious. My shoulder is now pain free. Would I do it again? My answer is yes.

Dr. Scott reconstructed my son's foot a few years ago and was outstanding. He explained everything and spent a good amount of time with us. Did a fantastic job and I would not have trusted anyone else.

Dr. Womack is one of the best orthopedic doctors in Atlanta. I can say that with confidence given that he has performed surgery on myself and family members. I healed very well, was treated in a hospital that didn't charge an crazy amount (like Emory or Piedmont), and and was treated well after surgery. Dr. Womack is very knowledgeable and unlike many doctors he has an excellent bedside manner. He is busy but he has always taken the time to answer my questions. A friendly, knowledgeable, and skilled surgeon and doctor, it's hard to find better.

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. Paul Jeffords is absolutely the best! He and his Resurgens Team helped me have the best experience possible with my recent spinal surgery! I had a micro-decompression and I feel great already! He called to check on me himself! So thankful for such a caring, thoughtful doctor who is such a fantastic surgeon!!!

Wonderful staff and service. I was scared but they helped me to understand the entire process and prepared me for the road ahead in a way that I could understand and prepare for myself.
