Hip specialists in Canberra
Who treats hip pain?
Hip pain is usually assessed by your GP first. For ongoing pain from arthritis or injury, your GP may refer you to an orthopaedic surgeon, or to a rheumatologist when inflammatory arthritis is suspected.
Start with your GP: they can assess you, arrange tests and write the referral you need for a Medicare rebate. General information only, not medical advice.
