• The hip is one of the strongest and most stable
  joints in the body that bears our body weight
  while we walk, stand, run, sit and perform our
  physical activities. Being a ball and socket
  joint it is extremely flexible and allows a large
  range of motion while also providing stability.
  And even a stable and strong hip joint can get
  hit by the arthritis condition be it
  osteoarthritis (more common), rheumatoid
  arthritis or psoriatic arthritis (less common).
• The term hip arthritis itself sounds like a call
  for hip surgery but it is not always so. When
  hip arthritis is caught early in its tracks,
  non-surgical treatments can help treat the hip
  arthritis problems, says Dr. Niraj Vora, top

• Healthy Weight Loss  Remember how we talked
  about the hip being the body weight-bearing joint
  that forms the bases and plays a crucial role in
  every physical movement? Yes, your extra weight
  can wear out your hip join worsening the symptoms
  and accelerating the arthritis progression.
  Losing your extra weight can ease the burden on
  your hip joint which is why orthopaedists and
  the joint specialist recommended healthy weight
  loss with exercise and regular physical activity.
• Exercise Physical Activity Exercise increasing
  pain and joint stiffness is one of the most
  common misconceptions among the elderly,
  understandably so. Intensive exercise does
  increase the risk of pain but right low impact
  exercises that are recommended by specialists do
  improve flexibility, strength while reducing your
  body weight when done consistently. We advise you
  to consult an experienced orthopaedist and joint
  specialist to help you chart out the right
  exercise program based on your hip condition.

• Physical Therapy While healthy weight management
  and exercise come under preventive steps that can
  be performed on your own, physical therapy is an
  active treatment procedure that must be performed
  by experts. From helping you with the right
  posture and physical movements for your condition
  to the usage of external support devices, a
  physical therapist can teach you the right way to
  go about your hip condition with the common goal
  of increasing mobility and joint health while
  reducing the pain.
• Medications  Alongside physical therapy,
  exercise and healthy weight management, the right
  medications can prove to be an efficient way to
  reduce joint pain and joint inflammation. In
  addition to oral medications, health care
  providers also recommend steroid injections to
  reduce the pain and swelling of the joints
  temporarily. However, medications, exercise,
  healthy weight management and physical therapy
  can only work in mild and moderate cases of hip
  arthritis if the patients even after adhering to
  all the above methods experience joint pain and
  swelling and reduced mobility then hip
  replacement surgery could be the only solution to
  solve the hip joint problems. However, only an
  expert joint replacement surgeon can recommend
  your treatment option for hip arthritis. If you
  are in Mumbai and are looking for hip arthritis
  treatment in Mumbai we advise you to consult
