Greater trochanteric pain syndrome causes pain on the outer side of the hip due to overload or degeneration of the gluteal tendons, often influenced by walking patterns, muscle weakness or prolonged side-lying, and at InPhysio we use clinical assessment and ultrasound to guide treatment with targeted strengthening, shockwave therapy and image-guided injections, with most patients improving over six to twelve weeks and maintaining long-term relief through continued exercise.
