The Hip Pain Mystery: Why Women Suffer More (And What Really Works)

Women Suffer Hip Pain Disproportionately—Here’s Why That Matters

• Women are 4× more likely than men to develop chronic hip pain.

• They face 2× the rate of hip replacement surgery and 3× the likelihood of persistent pain afterward.

• Many experience symptoms 10–15 years earlier than men, and that’s before traditional treatments fail them again.
  

These aren’t just statistics—they’re the reality for millions of women being treated as “smaller men.”

Why Standard Treatments Often Miss the Mark for Women

Many care protocols are based on male-dominated research. They:

• Overlook anatomical differences like pelvic width or Q-angle.

• Ignore hormonal fluctuations that affect joint, muscle, and inflammatory responses.

• Apply one-size-fits-all movement strategies, underestimating women's unique biomechanics and life stressors.
  

It’s no surprise that many women exit the system more frustrated, with more pain and fewer solutions.

A Different Approach: How Active Spine & Joint Treats Women’s Hip Pain Better

At Active Spine & Joint Institute, we specialize in non-surgical, drug-free therapies available across multiple locations in New Jersey. Here's how we tailor hip pain treatment to women’s bodies and lifestyles.

1. We Discover the Root Cause—Not Just Symptoms

The first step is a personalized assessment to identify the actual underlying cause of your hip pain—whether it's osteoarthritis, bursitis, labral tears, degenerative joint disease, tendonitis, or osteonecrosis.

2. We Use a Multidisciplinary, Evidence-Based Treatment Mix

Our treatments are part of the Active Joint Method™, offering a full spectrum of proven, non-invasive options to reduce inflammation, restore function, and avoid surgery.

• Regenerative Cell Therapy (Wharton’s Jelly) to kickstart the body’s own healing response

• Joint Decompression Therapy to reduce pressure and restore mobility

• PulseWave™ Therapy to break down scar tissue and boost blood flow

• Cold Laser Therapy for enhanced tissue repair

• Chiropractic & Occupational Therapy for alignment, strength, and functional movement

• Supplementation & At-Home Support, when appropriate, to improve long-term joint health
  

3. We Treat You, Not Just the Condition

Your treatment is designed around your body—not an algorithm. Whether you're dealing with hormonal shifts, pelvic biomechanics, or lifestyle demands, your plan reflects your anatomy, biology, and goals.

4. We Back It with Compassion, Education & Long-Term Support

You’ll receive clear explanations, ongoing support, and recovery plans tailored to your schedule and stress levels. No more being brushed off or told your pain is “just emotional.”

Real Results: Women Who Finally Found Relief

“After years of taking joint pills and getting cortisone shots, I finally found something that works. I’m walking pain-free again and even golfing!” – Marge D., Northfield

These outcomes are typical—not exceptional—because we don’t treat women like men. We treat them as women—with focus, understanding, and evidence-backed treatment.
