Gluteal Tendinopathy

Targeted sports medicine management for chronic lateral hip pain and Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome, replacing passive treatments with active structural remodeling.

Phase 1: Neutralize Lumbo-Pelvic Twisting

A dysfunctional pelvis forces the lateral hip tendons to compress painfully against the bone line. We perform precise Chiropractic Adjustments to the lumbar spine and sacroiliac joints to realign the structural foundation and instantly reduce compression on the lateral hip.

Phase 2: Clear Lateral Hip Myofascial Friction

A tight tensor fasciae latae (TFL) and gluteus medius create a relentless crushing force over the trochanteric bursa. We use precise Myofascial Release and Soft Tissue Therapy (ART) to safely lengthen these structures, relieving local friction and structural compression.

Phase 3: Remodel Tendon Insertion Micro-Scarring

Chronic tendinopathy leaves the tendon insertion in a weak, low-vascular state. We apply specialized Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) to stimulate local fibroblast activity, paired with decompression Kinesiology Taping to protect the lateral hip during side-sleeping.

Phase 4: Heavy Slow Resistance Loading

Degenerative tendons require mechanical load to heal. We implement a Custom Exercise Therapy and Rehab program built around Heavy Slow Resistance (HSR) frameworks to force chaotic tendon fibers to realign, systematically rebuilding your hip's load-bearing capacity.
