Hip pain can make walking, running, sitting, or even sleeping uncomfortable. Whether it’s a sharp pinch in the front of the hip, a deep ache in the glutes, or stiffness that limits your mobility, hip issues can affect nearly every part of your daily life. At Revive Spine & Sport in New Braunfels, TX, we specialize in helping patients find the root cause of their hip pain, relieve symptoms, and restore full function—without unnecessary medications or surgery.

Our 3 Step Treatment Process
At Revive Spine & Sport, we follow a proven system for lasting results:
Step 1: Pain Management
Our first priority is identifying the exact source of your hip pain using Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) and movement-based testing. Once we know what’s driving your symptoms, we use targeted exercises, manual therapy, activity modification, and posture correction to reduce irritation and improve function.
Step 2: Return to Function
Once we have determined the drivers we begin focusing on strength training and mobility. By waiting until step 2 for this process we can be confident with progressively building your routine up until you achieve your goals set during phase 1.
Step 3: Prevention of Recurrence
Our goal is long-term results, not quick fixes. Upon achieving your goals we want to begin increasing your independence by reducing appointment frequency. From here some will graduate while others may choose to stay on a maintenance plan. This allows regularly scheduled wellness visits to assess progress and address any concerns.
The Revive Difference
At Revive, we put our patients first and prevent outside influences from dictating treatment. To ensure we can do this, we are out of network with all insurance companies. As healthcare has gone down the drain, there are two major contributors:
- Declining health insurance reimbursement rates that require providers to see at least one patient every 30 minutes. Overlapping patient sessions cut into your treatment time.
- Health insurance companies dictating the treatments approved.
Our approach ensures optimal outcomes, less time wasted, and a family atmosphere here in New Braunfels. We specialize in helping patients who have already tried conservative care without success, using MDT to guide every treatment decision.
