The nature of hip botox treatments
This treatment targets specific muscles around the hip that are overactive or contributing to dysfunction. Botox is injected to temporarily block nerve signals, allowing the muscle to relax. It is a controlled, reversible method of improving joint function and reducing pain, particularly when tight muscles are the primary cause of symptoms.
Common causes of hip injuries
Hip muscle overactivity is typically caused by overuse or sudden strain, including:
Hip impingement: Bony abnormalities can cause compensatory muscle tension.
Psoas tendinopathy: Chronic tightness or irritation of the hip flexor tendon.
Neuromuscular imbalance: Poor movement patterns cause specific muscles to overwork.
Post-surgical stiffness: Muscle guarding or scar tissue after hip procedures.
Athletic overuse: Repetitive activity leading to hypertonic muscles.
Diagnosing suitability for hip botox treatment
Assessment includes a detailed physical examination and often imaging or motion analysis. Ultrasound may be used to visualise the target muscles, and your clinician will evaluate whether muscle tension is contributing to your hip symptoms. Botox is typically recommended when conservative treatments have failed and muscle tightness is a significant factor in your condition.
Suitable for
Hip flexor tightness or spasm
Psoas-related hip pain
Treatment overview
Hip Botox treatment involves ultrasound-guided injection of botulinum toxin into specific muscles around the hip, typically the psoas or hip flexors. The goal is to reduce excessive muscle contraction that causes pain, stiffness, or mechanical interference. This non-surgical approach allows the muscles to relax, reduces tension, and improves joint function. It is often used in conjunction with physiotherapy for optimal recovery and long-term relief.
Botox (botulinum toxin) is widely known for its cosmetic use, but in orthopaedics, it can be used to relax overactive muscles that contribute to pain, stiffness, or abnormal hip mechanics. Conditions such as hip impingement, psoas tendinopathy, and post-surgical stiffness may benefit from temporary muscle relaxation, allowing the joint to move more freely and with less discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do the effects of Hip Botox last?
Typically 3 to 6 months, after which the treatment can be repeated if needed.
Does it hurt?
The procedure is done under ultrasound guidance and is generally well-tolerated with minimal discomfort.
Will it affect muscle strength?
The goal is to reduce overactivity—not paralyse the muscle—so strength is usually preserved or even improved with better movement patterns.
