Comprehensive Hip Care to Restore Comfort and Mobility

Hip pain can interfere with everything from walking and sleeping to maintaining an active lifestyle. At OrthoNY, our board-certified orthopedic specialists offer expert hip care designed to relieve pain, improve range of motion, and restore long-term function. We treat patients experiencing hip arthritis, labral tears, bursitis, impingement, tendonitis, fractures, and other hip conditions with compassion and precision. Our team uses the latest imaging tools, including X-ray, MRI, and ultrasound, to ensure an accurate diagnosis.

Our treatment plans are customized for each patient. We prioritize conservative care when possible, including physical therapy, activity modification, and injection therapy. For more severe cases, we offer advanced surgical options such as minimally invasive hip arthroscopy and total and partial hip replacement surgeries. Whether you’re dealing with a chronic condition or a recent injury, OrthoNY is committed to helping you return to the activities you enjoy with comfort and confidence. Patients can access orthopedic providers at OrthoNY offices in Albany, Clifton Park, Malta, Glens Falls, and other Capital Region locations, making it easier to receive advanced orthopedic care close to home.

Great group of people, I felt like they truly wanted to figure out what was causing my pain rather than dismissing me once the Xray came back fine. Highly recommend OrthoNY.

I couldn’t have asked for a better Ortho Doc and team than Dr Polishchuk at OrthoNY in Schenectady. The service was professional yet very personable. Everyone always took the time to actually TALK to you. They stayed on top of my 2 hip surgeries from start to finish. I always had all the information I needed and all the support. All in all they were wonders and it was an exceptional experience. Thank you Dr Polishchuk, Joe Isgro and your whole team in the office, especially Amanda, and my team at Ellis Hospital, especially my anesthesiologist Dr Hendrickson!! You were all wonderful! I would recommend you all to everyone who needs an Ortho doctor!

One of the best urgent medical assistance I’ve ever experienced.The staff was extremely helpful and supportive. When I entered the building I was in so much pain. The lady at the front desk was very helpful, ensuring that another lovely team member accompanied me to the area where I was registered, hand held and all, and with all the emotional support a patient in pain would appreciate. The receptionist who got me registered was equally as sweet. Shortly after which the doctor came out to receive me. I was seen by the doctor before I could finish all my paperwork. I could not have asked for a better service and as urgently as I got at OrthoNY. When I say my entire visit was exceptional. At no point throughout my entire visit did I have any negative encounters. Thanks to you Dr. Suslak and your team for such exceptional service. I truly appreciate you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hip conditions does OrthoNY treat?

OrthoNY treats a wide range of hip conditions, including osteoarthritis, labral tears, bursitis, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), tendonitis, fractures, hip dysplasia, snapping hip syndrome, and muscle strains. We also evaluate and manage overuse injuries common in athletes and active adults. Our team begins with a thorough physical exam and imaging studies to understand the root cause of your symptoms. Each treatment plan is customized to relieve pain, restore function, and help you return to daily life as quickly as possible.

When should I see a specialist for hip pain?

If hip pain lasts more than a few weeks despite rest and self-care, it may be time to consult an orthopedic specialist. Other signs that warrant a visit include joint stiffness, reduced range of motion, limping, difficulty standing or walking, or pain while sleeping. A prompt diagnosis is key to preventing long-term joint damage and can improve your chances for a successful recovery. Our specialists are experienced in identifying early-stage hip conditions as well as complex cases that may require advanced care.

What non-surgical treatments are available for hip problems?

At OrthoNY, we focus on the least invasive and most effective treatments first. Non-surgical options include activity modification, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and image-guided injections such as corticosteroids or platelet-rich plasma (PRP). These treatments are often effective for many common hip conditions, especially when started early. Our team works closely with you to monitor progress and adjust your care plan to ensure optimal results.

What surgical options are offered for hip conditions?

If conservative care does not resolve your symptoms, surgical intervention may be considered. Our surgical options include hip arthroscopy to repair labral tears or remove impingement, osteotomy to reshape the hip joint, and total hip replacement for advanced arthritis. We use the most advanced surgical techniques to reduce tissue trauma, minimize recovery time, and improve long-term outcomes. You will receive comprehensive pre-operative education and post-operative support to ensure a smooth recovery.

What should I expect during recovery from hip treatment?

Recovery from hip treatment varies depending on the approach. Non-surgical recovery often involves a gradual return to activity supported by therapy and lifestyle changes. Surgical recovery may include short-term use of assistive devices, a structured rehabilitation plan, and consistent follow-up care. Most patients experience steady improvement in pain and function over weeks to months. Our team will guide you through every phase of recovery to make sure you regain strength, stability, and confidence in your movement.

Can OrthoNY help with sports-related hip injuries?

Yes. Our specialists frequently treat hip injuries related to sports and physical activity. Common athletic hip injuries include labral tears, hip flexor strains, stress fractures, and bursitis. We offer sport-specific evaluations and treatment plans that include rehabilitation, strengthening, and performance training. Whether you’re a high-level athlete or someone who enjoys staying active, OrthoNY is here to help you return to your sport safely and efficiently.

Where can I go for hip care in the Capital Region?

OrthoNY provides hip care at offices in Albany, Clifton Park, Malta, Glens Falls, Saratoga Springs, Schenectady, and Delmar. With this network of locations, patients can choose care that’s close to home, work, or school.
