Targeted Treatment for Deep Joint Pain and Mechanical Symptoms
When the hip doesn’t move smoothly, the problem often lies within the joint itself. Tears in the labrum or damage to the cartilage that lines the socket can cause deep, aching pain and limit your ability to stay active. These injuries may result from trauma, repetitive motion, or underlying structural issues such as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).
At Michigan Orthopedic Center, our orthopedic specialists offer expert diagnosis and treatment for labral and cartilage injuries in the hip. With a focus on long-term joint health and function, we provide surgical and non-surgical care that gets you back to the activities you enjoy.

Advanced Care at Michigan Orthopedic Center
Your evaluation will include detailed imaging, such as MRI or diagnostic injections, to confirm the source of pain. When appropriate, conservative care such as activity modification, physical therapy, or joint injections may be tried first.
For persistent symptoms or structural injuries, our surgeons offer hip arthroscopy to repair or clean the joint with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue. These minimally invasive techniques allow for quicker recovery and long-term joint preservation.
