Your path to
pain-free movement
Suffering from chronic hip pain that limits your movement, sleep, or quality of life? Hunter Spine and Joint Replacement Centre offers expert diagnosis and intervention, including total hip replacement surgery in Newcastle. Led by renowned hip specialist and surgeon, Doctor Hardeep Salaria, our practice delivers advanced, patient-focused care for a range of hip conditions, from osteoarthritis and labral tears to muscle and bone issues and beyond.
Understanding hip pain and when to seek help
The hip joint is a crucial component of your body, playing a vital role in standing, walking, and overall mobility. Experiencing hip aches and weakness can negatively affect your ability to perform common tasks such as climbing stairs or bending down.
When hip pain becomes persistent, it could be due to:
- Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
- Cartilage loss or degeneration
- Bone fractures or traumatic arthritis
- Labral tears or tendon injuries
These conditions can worsen over time if ignored. If you’re experiencing ongoing discomfort, stiffness, or reduced range of motion, it’s time to consider your treatment options.
Our hip treatment options in Newcastle
At Hunter Spine and Joint Replacement Centre, we understand that not every patient needs surgery. That’s why we begin with a comprehensive evaluation and often start with nonsurgical treatments, including:
- Anti-inflammatory medications
- Physiotherapy to strengthen the surrounding muscles
- Image-guided injections
- Nerve blocks or radiofrequency neurotomy
For patients whose discomfort persists or worsens, we offer advanced surgical options, most notably, total hip replacement.
Total hip replacement surgery
A total hip replacement is a surgical procedure where damaged bone and cartilage are removed and replaced with prosthetic components. It’s commonly recommended for those with severe arthritis or joint deterioration. Patients typically report significant improvements in discomfort, mobility, and quality of life post-surgery.
What to expect:
The ball-and-socket of the hip joint will be replaced with metal, ceramic, or plastic implants.
We offer the direct anterior approach, a minimally invasive technique with faster recovery and less disruption to surrounding muscles.
All procedures are tailored to each individual for optimal fit, comfort, and function.
Other hip surgeries and related services we offer
In addition to total hip replacements, we also provide:
Revision Total Hip Replacement
For individuals with previous implants that have failed or worn out
Minimally Invasive Hip Procedures
Where appropriate, smaller incisions and modern techniques reduce downtime
Specialist Pain Management
Including nerve blocks and advanced interventions not widely available in general orthopaedic practices
Life after hip surgery
Recovery from hip replacement surgery varies, but most people can stand and walk with assistance within a day. Over the following weeks:
- Patients go through physical therapy sessions to help regain strength and mobility.
- They’ll experience gradual improvements in walking, standing, and climbing stairs.
- Most people return to regular activities — including work, travel, and low-impact exercise — within 6 to 12 weeks.
We support you every step of the way with a personalised recovery plan designed to fit your unique lifestyle and goals.
Benefits of hip replacement surgery
Opting for hip replacement surgery can significantly enhance your quality of life,
especially if you’re suffering from debilitating hip joint issues. Some key benefits of this surgery include:
Pain relief
A few days after the surgery, patients can experience a reduction in or elimination of hip pain.
Improved mobility
By replacing the damaged hip joint with prosthetic components, sufferers experience increased range of motion and flexibility, facilitating easier walking, standing, and sitting.
Enhanced functionality
Post-surgery, many individuals find that they can perform tasks that were previously challenging due to hip stiffness or aches, such as climbing stairs or engaging in low-impact exercises.
