Intra-articular Hip Injection
An intra-articular hip injection delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly into the hip joint under imaging guidance to relieve hip arthritis and deep groin or hip-joint pain. Because the hip is a deep joint, image guidance is essential for safe, accurate placement.

The procedure is quick and well tolerated. Relief can build over several days and last weeks to months, often making walking, stairs, and daily activity noticeably easier.
