A hip assessment is a specialist review of hip and groin pain, covering history, examination and a management plan. At LPHG it costs £250 and needs no GP referral. It helps identify causes such as arthritis, impingement or soft-tissue injury, advises on whether imaging is needed and sets out a clear treatment plan.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a GP referral for a hip assessment?
No. You can book directly. The specialist will assess your symptoms and advise on the next steps, including any imaging needed.
What causes hip and groin pain?
Common causes include arthritis, impingement, bursitis and soft-tissue injury. Pain can also be referred from the back, and the assessment helps identify the source.
Will I have a scan during the assessment?
Not always. The specialist will examine you and decide whether an ultrasound, X-ray or MRI is needed, and arrange it where appropriate.
Can hip pain be treated without surgery?
Often, yes. Many hip problems respond to physiotherapy, activity changes or a guided injection. Surgery is only recommended where it is likely to help.
Will I get a written summary?
Yes. You receive a written summary of the assessment and the agreed plan, which you can share with your GP or insurer.
