Hip And Pelvic Pain

Pain in the hip and pelvic region can be difficult to diagnose and frustrating to live with. Conditions such as hip arthritis, sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction, hip bursitis, pudendal neuralgia, and chronic pelvic pain often overlap and can cause pain in the lower back, groin, buttock, or upper thigh. Because these conditions share similar symptoms, effective treatment begins with careful evaluation and precise diagnosis. At Interventional Pain Specialists of Wisconsin, our double board-certified physicians in anesthesiology and interventional pain medicine use advanced diagnostic techniques and image-guided procedures to accurately identify the true source of pain.

We offer a full range of non-surgical, image-guided treatments to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. These include steroid injections into the hip joint, SI joint, bursa, or targeted nerves to calm irritation and improve function. For longer-lasting relief, we also provide nerve-based treatments such as radiofrequency ablation, which reduces pain signals from irritated joints and nerves, and peripheral nerve stimulation, which uses gentle electrical signals to interrupt chronic pain without permanently damaging the nerve. These treatments can be especially helpful for patients who have not improved with physical therapy, medications, or more conservative care.

A major focus of our practice is regenerative medicine, which uses a patient’s own biological materials to help support healing and reduce chronic inflammation. We offer platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) therapies for select hip and pelvic conditions. These treatments may help improve pain, joint function, and overall mobility while potentially slowing the progression of joint degeneration. For patients with persistent SI joint pain who do not respond to conservative treatments, we also offer minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion using the SI-BONE® system, which stabilizes the joint through a small incision and may provide lasting relief.

Our goal is always to help patients avoid major surgery whenever possible by offering precise, minimally invasive treatment options tailored to their condition. By combining advanced diagnostics, regenerative therapies, and targeted interventional procedures, we help patients return to daily activities with less pain and better function—while preserving future treatment options whenever possible.
