Living With Chronic Hip Pain

When chronic hip pain from arthritis or degenerative joint disease makes walking, climbing stairs, or even sleeping on your side a struggle, it starts dictating your day. Many people — including those already recommended for hip replacement surgery — are told surgery is their only option. Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy® offers another path: treating the source of the pain while preserving your natural joint. And if it isn’t right for you, you remain a full candidate for hip replacement surgery.

WHAT CAUSES IT

Common Causes of Chronic Hip Pain

Most chronic hip and waist pain traces back to wear, arthritis, or injury in the joint.

Hip Osteoarthritis

Cartilage breakdown in the hip joint causes deep groin or buttock pain, stiffness, and a reduced range of motion.

Bursitis & Tendon Wear

Inflamed bursa and worn tendons around the hip produce pain on the outside of the hip, often worse when lying on it.

Labral & Degenerative Wear

Years of load, old injuries, or labral wear gradually break down the hip and surrounding joints.

COMPARE YOUR OPTIONS

Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy vs. Hip Replacement Surgery

Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy treats the nerves carrying pain from your hip – it doesn’t remove or replace the joint. That’s a fundamentally different approach from hip replacement surgery – and it means avoiding its complications, including infection, implant loosening, and early-onset dementia linked to metal wear fragments entering the bloodstream.

Pain coming from the lower spine itself? Deuk Spine Institute treats that with lumbar Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy.

Minimally Invasive

A 4mm incision instead of major open surgery.

Outpatient

Home the same day, normal activity the next.

Joint-Preserving

Hip Pain: Frequently Asked Questions

Can hip pain be treated with noninvasive surgery?

Often, yes. Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy treats the nerves carrying pain from the hip through a single 4mm opening — no hip replacement. A free MRI review confirms whether you’re a candidate.

Is this an alternative to hip replacement?

For many patients with chronic hip pain, yes — it preserves your natural joint rather than removing and replacing it. Your physician will confirm the right approach for your condition.

Does it treat lower-back and waist pain too?

We treat hip and related joint pain in the waist area. For pain coming from the lower spine itself, Deuk Spine Institute offers lumbar Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy — we’ll point you to the right option at your review.

How long is recovery?

Recovery takes about one hour, and most patients go home the same day, returning to light activity the next. It’s an outpatient procedure through a 4mm incision under twilight sedation.

Will I be put under general anesthesia?

No — the procedure is performed under light twilight sedation, not general anesthesia.
