Gluteal Tendinopathy Q & A

What is Gluteal Tendinopathy/Hip Bursitis?

Gluteal tendinopathy is a tendon problem which can cause pain in your hip and/or gluteal region. You can usually check to see if you have it by crossing the symptomatic leg over your other leg. If you feel pain, you probably have gluteal tendinopathy and/or bursitis of the hip. It is especially prevalent in women.

What are tendinopathy symptoms?

Tendinopathy symptoms may include:

  • Recurrent pain in the upper and mid buttock and hip region
  • You may also have low back pain on that side
  • You may also experience an increase in sensitivity in that area and feel pain with pressure in those areas.

How does Dr. Kowal treat gluteal tendinopathy/hip bursitis?

Dr. Kowal offers an innovative non-surgical treatment to help those suffering from tendinopathy symptoms. He uses a combination of the FDA-approved Stimpod NMS460, which uses Transcutaneous Pulsed Radio Frequency (TPRF) energy, and isometric exercises to help heal weak and painful tendons
