Why Do My Hips Hurt?
Your hip is one of the body’s largest and most complex joints, built to carry your weight, absorb impact, and allow smooth movement in every direction.
But when any part of this structure, including the bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, or bursae, becomes damaged or inflamed, it can lead to hip pain. Sometimes it’s just temporary soreness after activity. However, ongoing pain may be caused by:
- Osteoarthritis
- Fractures or sudden trauma
- Muscle or tendon strains and tears
- Hormonal changes during menopause
- Conditions like bursitis or hip impingement
In some cases, problems in the back or pelvis can “refer” pain to the hip area. A hip specialist can help you pinpoint the source of your pain and guide you toward the right treatment.
When Should You See a Hip Doctor for Hip Pain?
You should consider seeing a hip specialist if you notice:
- Persistent, sharp pain lasting more than two weeks
- Severe stiffness limiting your range of motion
- Pain that disrupts daily activities or sleep
- Difficulty walking or bearing weight
- Pain following an injury or fall
- Swelling, warmth, or redness around the hip joint
- Clicking or grinding sensations when moving your hip
- Pain that worsens with activity or doesn’t improve with rest
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, Dr. Mehta can help determine the underlying cause and guide your treatment plan. Book your consultation today!

EXCELLENT Based on 135 reviews Posted on Chloe DeolDecember 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Mehta is an intelligent, thoughtful and down to earth provider and surgeon. She cares deeply for her patients and the art of medicine! I would recommend anyone to be taken care of by her for their orthopedic needs.Posted on Renee YoungDecember 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A few years ago, I had a major injury to my Achilles tendon. Dr. Mehta did PRP to the entire area. It’s been about six months. Literally feels brand new. Her entire clinic in Los Gatos was super accommodating She obviously deeply cares for her patients. It’s not often that you find an orthopedic surgeon that’s willing to spend the time that you need to take care of you. I’ve tried several other clinics for regenerative medicine in the area. Dr. Mehta and her team are top class. I can’t thank them enough I’ve since referred my husband parents in They’ve all had similar amazing experiences.Posted on Jennifer BlackDecember 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⸻ I had an excellent experience at this doctor’s office. They were kind and patient with my son when he needed an X-ray on his finger. The staff made him feel comfortable and explained everything clearly. The visit was efficient, and we felt well taken care of from start to finish. Highly recommend this office for anyone needing prompt, compassionate medical care!Posted on Travis CoffmanDecember 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Mehta was awesome. We appreciate how fast she responded to us in getting an X-ray order called in when our son got hurt. Even better was how she followed up with the facility even when they were being difficult to deal with so we could get the info we needed to begin treatment. Highly recommended!Posted on Katie DukeDecember 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Pamela Mehta was integral in helping me during one of the most challenging and scary times of my life. I am a nurse practitioner, and I was experiencing pain that was misdiagnosed by four physicians. I was told I had a simple pinched nerve and that I needed to take steroids and go to physical therapy. But I knew something wasn't right. My pain was getting worse after the steroids, and I started losing neurological function in my left arm, specifically, the fine motor skills in my left hand. The pain was so unbearable that for six weeks straightI only slept about 2 to 3 hours a night because I would awake often with intolerable pain. I consulted Dr. Mehta, who I have long respected as an expert in her field, and as an advocate for women, and not only did she listen to me, and validate my concerns, she was empathetic and compassionate about helping me get through such an insurmountable moment. She helped me find the right pain specialist, and immediately got me referred for an MRI, which led to the discovery that I actually had severe spinal cord compression, subsequently leading me to have emergent C spine surgery four days later. I cannot stress enough, how important it is to go to a provider, who will listen to your concerns, and ensure that you are informed an advocate on your behalf. Dr. Mehta is the embodiment of what the true meaning of a surgeon should be; skilled hands, excellence in experience and knowledge, integrity, kindness, empathy, and compassion. I highly recommend her, and I am so thankful that I had her during this time!Posted on Dana CoutureDecember 9, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have truly the very best things to say about Dr. Pamela Mehta and the entire staff at Resilience Orthopedics! My 7 year old son had recently had pain in his pelvis area that came up out of the blue! Our pediatrician at Ramblc had taken an X-Ray of that area and something scary had come from the images. I imagined the worse! It was a Friday! We quickly turned to Dr. Mehta and she had ordered an MRI for our sweet boy the very next day! We had our answers before the weekend was even over! It was truly the most difficult time for us with his diagnosis. Dr. Mehta was absolutely incredible in every step of the way!!! Truly an angel! Easing my worry and giving me a breakdown of the whole issue we had at hand. We are so grateful to her and to her entire staff at Resilience Orthopedics! They were incredible from A-Z! Thank you so much for the peace of mind you gave my family and the incredible support in this very stressful and difficult process for our family. I’m so grateful 💗✨🙏🏽Posted on Kiroun SalujaDecember 5, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Pam Mehta is exceptional. I first consulted her when my daughter tore her ACL, and later again to discuss her recovery progress. From the very beginning, Dr. Mehta was honest, informed, and incredibly pragmatic. She struck the perfect balance between empathy and straightforward guidance — she never sugarcoated anything, yet she always made us feel at ease during an overwhelming time. Her expertise is clear, but what stood out most was how trustworthy and dependable she is. She took the time to explain every step and set realistic expectations. I always felt confident in the advice she provided. If you’re looking for an orthopedic specialist who combines deep knowledge with genuine compassion, I cannot recommend Dr. Mehta highly enough. She is truly a standout physician.
Common Hip Conditions We Treat
Hip Arthritis
Experiencing stiff or sore hips? Arthritis may be the cause, which can make everyday movement difficult. Dr. Mehta offers targeted physical therapy, injections, PRP, and, if needed, hip replacement to reduce discomfort, so you can move freely again.
Hip Impingement
Sharp pain in your hip or groin when you bend, squat, or sit? This may be hip impingement, where the hip bones rub or pinch inside the joint. Through therapy, injections, or surgery when necessary, Dr. Mehta eases joint pressure and protects the joint, helping you stay active and pain-free.
Tendon Problems
Is your hip stiff or tender, especially on the side? This is often due to a tendon issue, such as tendonitis or a small tear.
Dr. Mehta focuses on easing pain and restoring flexibility with targeted rehab, PRP injections, or surgery (if needed), so you can do what you love without discomfort.
Hip Bursitis
Pain on the outside of your hip when lying down? It could be bursitis, caused by inflammation of the fluid sacs around your hip. Dr. Mehta customizes treatment plans to reduce inflammation and restore movement, helping you reclaim your strength and freedom.
