Why Cortisone Injections Won’t Fix Your Hip Pain for Good
If you’ve been dealing with hip pain and received a cortisone injection, you’re not alone. It’s often the first line of treatment offered by providers—and yes, it can reduce inflammation and bring short-term relief.
But here’s what most people don’t realize:
Cortisone is not a long-term solution.
It may quiet the pain for a while, but if you haven’t addressed what’s causing the inflammation in the first place, the pain will come back—sometimes worse.
What’s Actually Causing Your Hip Pain?
At R3 Physio, we help clients uncover what’s beneath the surface. More often than not, hip pain isn’t just a hip problem. It’s part of a bigger, whole-body picture:
Poor movement patterns from old injuries
Muscle imbalances—especially weak glutes or deep core muscles
Fascial restrictions affecting the pelvis, lumbar spine, or even internal organs
Compensations due to lack of mobility in nearby joints (like the ankles or spine)
These issues create extra strain on your hip—and unless you correct them, the joint continues to become inflamed.
Why You Need a Different Approach
Cortisone can help calm things down, but it doesn’t solve the real problem.
What works?
✅ A full-body assessment
✅ Hands-on manual therapy to restore mobility
✅ Visceral manipulation when internal tension is contributing
✅ Strengthening the RIGHT muscles for better support
✅ Movement training to fix compensation patterns
We call this our systems-based approach—and it’s what makes R3 Physio different from other physical therapy clinics in Keller.
