Wimmer Regenerative Orthopedics treats hip osteoarthritis, bursitis, and tendon irritation non-surgically in Bonita Springs, FL. In-office imaging pinpoints the source when needed, and options include Wharton's Jelly with mesenchymal stem cells, PRP, peptides, and image-guided injections, with hyaluronic acid where appropriate — aimed at restoring mobility and avoiding surgery.

Hip conditions we treat
Hip Pain
Arthritis, bursitis, and mobility loss — evaluated with imaging and managed with targeted, image-guided care.

Hip osteoarthritis brings stiffness and groin or outer-hip pain. Non-surgical options help reduce pain and protect function.

Buttock and leg pain that feels like “hip pain” is often sciatica — nerve pain from the spine. We evaluate both to treat the true source.
Explore sciaticaThe 10 most common hip conditions
Ranked as a practical clinical reference — what's most common varies with age and activity level. Here's how these conditions are typically approached:
| Condition | What it is |
|---|---|
| Hip osteoarthritis | Gradual wear of the ball-and-socket cartilage |
| Femoroacetabular impingement | Bone shape that pinches the joint |
| Labral tear | Tear of the socket-rim cartilage |
| Trochanteric bursitis (GTPS) | Outer-hip pain over the bony point |
| Hip fracture | Broken upper thigh bone |
| Avascular necrosis | Lost blood supply to the femoral head |
| Hip dysplasia | Shallow hip socket |
| Iliopsoas tendinitis / snapping hip | Irritated hip-flexor tendon |
| Gluteal tendinopathy or tear | Weakened side-hip tendons |
| Sacroiliac joint dysfunction | Pain where the spine meets the pelvis |
“Non-surgical” options are always individualized after an evaluation. Conditions marked surgical or urgent receive an honest, prompt referral — that's how we practice.
What commonly causes hip pain?
- Hip osteoarthritis and joint stiffness
- Bursitis and tendon irritation
- Groin, outer-hip, or buttock discomfort
- Reduced mobility affecting golf, walking, and daily life
How is hip pain evaluated?
Your visit begins with an in-office evaluation, with imaging — ultrasound or fluoroscopy — when it's needed, so we can see the area clearly. Occasionally we'll arrange additional imaging elsewhere. From there, Derek builds a personalized, honest plan — and walks you through the options for your situation.
Which non-surgical treatments help hip pain?
- Wharton's Jelly with mesenchymal stem cells — an umbilical-derived allograft, an emerging non-surgical option offered with honest, individualized counsel
- PRP — platelet-rich plasma to support your body's own repair signaling
- Peptides — targeted peptides such as BPC-157 to support recovery and tissue resilience
- Injections — precise relief for the hip joint or bursa, with hyaluronic acid where appropriate
- Activity & maintenance planning — to protect long-term mobility
- The full regenerative program — how these options fit together, and how candidacy is reviewed for you individually
When should you seek care?
Hip pain that limits walking, golf, sleep, or putting on shoes deserves a proper look — especially if it has lasted more than a couple of weeks. Because hip-area pain can come from the joint, the bursa, or the spine, an accurate evaluation matters more here than almost anywhere. For general reference, see MedlinePlus's hip injuries and disorders guide.
