Any discomfort in the hip is hard to endure, but before seeking a full-blown treatment, let Dr. Carlson perform a hip arthroscopy first. This is a minimally invasive procedure where he’ll check whether there’s a serious problem in your midsection. Committing to a treatment program without knowing the real problem is never a good proposition. Have it checked first!
Dr. Carlson operates from his practice in Provo, welcoming hip scope patients from all over the Utah County.
