About Gluteal Tendinopathy
What you should know
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.
Our approach
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:
- 1Increase blood flow to the injured gluteal tendon
- 2Stimulate collagen regeneration at the tendon attachment
- 3Break down chronic degenerative tissue
- 4Reduce pain sensitivity at the outer hip
- 5Promote 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.
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
