Expert Hip Pain Relief in Queens, NY

How Do Hip Injections Work?

Hip injections deliver anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medication directly into the joint. By reducing inflammation, these injections can provide immediate relief, restore mobility, and allow you to return to your active lifestyle.

The hip is one of the body’s largest weight-bearing joints. When it becomes inflamed or injured, pain can severely limit your ability to move, exercise, or even perform simple daily activities. At Axis Pain and Sports Management, Dr. Yakub Abrakhimov, MD uses advanced interventional and regenerative techniques to treat hip pain with precision and care.

Types of Hip Injections

• Steroid Injections
  Corticosteroids combined with a numbing agent reduce inflammation and relieve pain caused by arthritis or joint irritation.
  
• Hyaluronic Acid Injections
  A gel-like fluid that lubricates and cushions the hip joint, improving mobility and reducing pain.
  
• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections
  A regenerative treatment that uses growth factors from your own blood to support healing, slow cartilage degeneration, and encourage tissue repair.
  

Dr. Abrakhimov also offers complementary procedures such as nerve blocks and radiofrequency ablation for patients who require longer-lasting relief.

Conditions Treated with Hip Injections

Hip injections may be recommended for:

• Bursitis
  
• Hip arthritis
