Hip Surgery Can Prevent Pain From Interfering With Your Lifestyle in Hampton, Williamsburg, Newport News, VA & throughout the Peninsula

Years ago, hip surgery was generally not considered until an individual reached the point where he or she could barely walk. Many of today’s patients have a very different mindset. At Tidewater Orthopaedics, a specialty orthopaedic practice serving Hampton, Williamsburg, Newport News, VA, and other communities on the Peninsula, we see a lot of young people who act quickly upon the first sign of hip pain. Many of these patients are open to considering treatments like hip surgery as a way to maintain their active lifestyles for years into the future.

Today’s hip surgery patients have a number of advantages over their counterparts of yesteryear. For instance, at Tidewater Orthopaedics in Hampton Roads, our joint specialists, Dr. Colin Kingston, Dr. Michael Higgins, and Dr. John McCarthy, often utilize:

• Advanced computer navigation systems, which aid surgeons in making precise adjustments and allow them to fully customize each hip surgery procedure to meet the unique needs of the patient
• Replacement joints constructed of high-performance materials that can withstand years of wear and also help to prevent bone loss, which can sometimes cause artificial joints to fail
• Minimally invasive surgical techniques, including the “jiffy hip” procedure, which can minimize potential damage to the healthy tissue surrounding a surgery site, and also result in a faster and easier recovery

Whether or not a patient chooses to undergo hip surgery, physical therapy is often an important component of an overall treatment plan for hip pain. At Tidewater Orthopaedics, our patients have access to an outstanding team of in-house physical therapists who work collaboratively with our physicians to design fully customized therapy regimens.

You needn’t allow hip pain to force you to live a sedentary lifestyle or give up activities you love, such as jogging, biking, hiking, and kayaking.
