When hip pain limits every step

Hip pain has a way of touching everything you do. The stiffness getting out of bed, the ache that flares climbing stairs, the discomfort that interrupts your sleep, the walks and workouts you start skipping — a worn or injured hip can quietly shrink your world. For many people, the options they’re offered feel like extremes: manage it with medication or commit to hip replacement surgery and a long recovery.

There’s a middle path worth understanding first.

A non-surgical, regenerative approach to hip pain

Hip pain often results from osteoarthritis, overuse or injury — sources where a regenerative approach may help. Rather than replacing the joint, our physician-led options work with the hip you already have, using your body’s own regenerative components to help calm pain and improve mobility, with minimal downtime.

Our stem cell joint regeneration and PRP joint treatment are designed to support the joint’s natural repair and reduce pain — non-surgically, in-office. Because not every hip is a good candidate, an honest evaluation comes first, and the physician will tell you if a regenerative approach isn’t likely to help yours. We also help patients with related concerns such as knee osteoarthritis and back pain.

What to expect

Every plan begins with a physician evaluation to confirm you’re a candidate and to tailor the approach to your goals. If a regenerative option is appropriate, it’s performed in-office, and most patients return to normal activities quickly. The physician will give you clear, realistic expectations for your hip, and results vary from person to person.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can regenerative medicine help my hip pain?

It may help, particularly for hip pain related to osteoarthritis, wear or soft-tissue injury. Regenerative approaches are designed to reduce pain and support the joint's natural repair. Whether it's a good fit for your hip is something the physician determines during your evaluation.

Is this an alternative to hip replacement surgery?

For some patients, yes. Our regenerative options are non-surgical and work with the hip you already have, rather than replacing it. They're intended for people who want to reduce pain and improve mobility without the risks, cost and long recovery of hip replacement. The physician will tell you honestly whether it's realistic in your case.

Is it surgery?

No. The treatments we offer are non-surgical and performed in-office, using your body's own regenerative components. Most patients return to everyday activities quickly.

Am I a candidate?

Your consultation is designed to answer that. Dr. Cimikoski evaluates your hip, reviews your imaging and history, and tells you honestly whether a regenerative approach is a good fit — and if it isn't, he'll say so.

Will it cure my hip arthritis?

We don't make cure or guarantee claims. The goal is to reduce pain and improve how well the hip moves. Many patients seek regenerative options to stay active and delay or avoid surgery, but results vary from person to person.

How is Utah Stem Cells different?

Every evaluation and procedure is physician-led by Dr. William Cimikoski — not delegated to a technician — and grounded in honest, evidence-informed guidance. You get a real evaluation, a tailored plan and clear expectations, all under one roof in Sandy.

What does treatment involve?

It begins with a physician evaluation to confirm suitability. If you're a candidate, regenerative components from your own body are prepared and precisely delivered into the hip in-office, with the goal of supporting natural repair over the following weeks.
