Does This Sound Familiar?
Pain on the outside of the hip or upper thigh
Pain when lying on the affected side at night
Pain walking long distances or climbing stairs
Pain crossing your legs or sitting with legs together
Tenderness over the outer hip bone
Hip pain that has lasted longer than 6 weeks
If your outer hip pain hasn't improved with rest, stretching, or physical therapy, you may be dealing with gluteal tendinopathy — also known as greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). This is a degenerative condition affecting the gluteal tendons where they attach to the outer hip. It is frequently misdiagnosed as bursitis and often fails to resolve without targeted tendon treatment. Focused shockwave therapy stimulates the repair process directly at the tendon attachment site.
How We Treat Chronic Gluteal Tendinopathy
At Chiropractic Remedy, we focus on stimulating healing in degenerative tendon tissue — not simply masking symptoms.
For chronic gluteal tendinopathy, we use focused shockwave therapy to:
Increase blood flow to the injured gluteal tendon
Stimulate collagen regeneration at the tendon attachment
Break down chronic degenerative tissue
Reduce pain sensitivity at the outer hip
Promote long-term hip stability and functional recovery
Shockwave therapy is non-surgical, drug-free, and requires no downtime. Many patients begin noticing improvement within a few treatments.

Is Shockwave Therapy Right For You?
Shockwave therapy may be appropriate if:
Your outer hip pain has lasted longer than 6–8 weeks
Conservative care or physical therapy hasn't resolved symptoms
You want to avoid cortisone injections or surgery
You want to return to walking, running, or daily activity without pain
You're looking for a non-invasive, evidence-based treatment option
During your evaluation, we will determine whether shockwave therapy is appropriate for your specific condition.
