Stem cell procedures for hip injuries & arthritis
Non-surgical regenerative therapies for hip arthritis, labral tears and degenerative conditions, designed to restore function and support long-term healing.
Hip pain
Hip pain can make everyday activities difficult
Simple movements like walking, climbing stairs, or getting in and out of a car may become painful and exhausting. Many people also notice discomfort while sitting for long periods or trying to sleep on the affected side. Over time, hip pain can limit mobility, disrupt sleep, and take away the activities you enjoy most.
Regenerative treatments such as bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) are designed to work with your body’s natural repair systems. Using precise image-guided injections, these therapies deliver concentrated cells and growth factors directly into the hip joint or surrounding tissues.
Condition guides

- Hip osteoarthritis Worn cartilage in the ball-and-socket joint, felt in the groin and thigh.
- Hip labral tears A torn rim of cartilage that catches and aches with pivoting and sitting.
- Osteonecrosis / avascular necrosis Bone that has lost its blood supply — treatment is stage-dependent and time matters.

Primary treatment
Stem cell therapy (BMAC)
Stem cells and growth factors from bone marrow are injected to help repair damaged cartilage, tendons, or ligaments in and around the hip joint.
Each treatment is performed by Dr. Venkatesh Movva with ultrasound or X-ray guidance to ensure accurate placement.
Before surgery or steroids
Why consider regenerative injections first?
For hip pain, traditional options often involve corticosteroid injections or surgical procedures such as hip arthroscopy or hip replacement. Steroid injections may temporarily reduce inflammation but do not heal the underlying tissue, and repeated use can weaken it. Surgery can be effective in some cases but often requires a lengthy recovery and carries risks of complications.
Regenerative injection procedures provide a minimally invasive alternative that focuses on preserving and repairing tissue. By encouraging natural healing, these therapies may reduce pain, improve mobility, and help patients delay or avoid major surgery.
Recovery timeline
What to expect after treatment
All patients go home the same day. Mild soreness at the bone marrow collection site and injection areas is common for several days, as the healing process begins with a natural inflammatory response.
-
First few days
Mild soreness or stiffness is typical.
-
Weeks 2–6
Gradual improvement in pain, mobility, and daily function.
-
Months 2–6
Continued healing as stem cells and growth factors support tissue repair.
-

Thoughtful, attentive staff. Skilled, caring physician. Excellent outcome.
Great experience all team members were very helpful and informative. The doctor was very good at what he does, no pain at any time. Just slightly uncomfortable when the injections were administered. I would highly recommend this team.
Individual results vary. Patient testimonials describe personal experiences and are not a guarantee of outcome for any other patient.

Hip patient stories
Am I a candidate for regenerative orthopedic treatment?
Candidates are typically individuals seeking non-surgical options for joint pain, sports injuries, tendon or ligament damage, or degenerative orthopedic conditions. Your physician will determine whether regenerative treatment is appropriate based on your diagnosis, imaging findings, and overall health.
Can regenerative treatments help me avoid surgery?
Many patients seek regenerative orthopedic care because they want to delay or avoid surgery whenever appropriate. While surgery may still be necessary in some cases, our goal is to explore advanced non-surgical options that may help relieve pain, improve function, and support natural healing before considering surgical intervention.
How long before I notice improvement?
Healing is a gradual biological process. Some patients begin noticing improvement within several weeks, while others continue to experience progress over several months as damaged tissues respond to regenerative treatment.
Will I need physical therapy after my procedure?
Many patients benefit from a personalized rehabilitation or physical therapy program following treatment. Combining regenerative medicine with guided rehabilitation often supports improved strength, mobility, and long-term recovery.
Who may not be a candidate?
Certain advanced injuries, severe joint damage, active infections, or specific medical conditions may make regenerative treatment less appropriate. Every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation to determine the safest and most effective treatment approach.
