what is Greater trochanteric pain syndrome?
Previously known as trochanteric bursitis. It is caused by degenerative changes that affect the tendon and bursa of the gluteal muscles.
Symptoms include pain on the outside of the thigh that is heightened with long periods of sitting, walking or general exercise. It can be painful to lie on the affected side.
Weakness and muscle imbalance around the hip may contribute to symptoms
Shockwave Therapy For Greater trochanteric pain syndrome
Shock waves are passed through the skin to the injured part of the hip, using a special hand held probe.
The shock waves applied promote blood flow and stimulate stem cell activity in the tissue providing pain relief while increasing the healing response
Evidence based treatment protocols recommend a minimum of 3 treatments, each 7-10 days apart. More treatments may be indicated and this will be assessed on an individual basis
