There are many causes of greater trochanteric pain syndrome

The primary cause of greater trochanteric pain syndrome is related to activities that put excess pressure on the tendons and muscles located near the hip joint, such as running, squatting and climbing stairs. In addition to these types of stress-inducing activities, other causes of greater trochanteric pain syndrome may include medical conditions such as arthritis, prior hip surgery or having tight muscles throughout the body. Fortunately, chiropractic care with associated physiotherapy and massage therapy can be very successful in treating this condition by helping to reduce the symptoms which can provide important musculoskeletal support.

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a type of hip joint disorder. It usually occurs due to inflammation or bursitis of the greater trochanter region, which are two bony points on the outer side of the hip. GTPS can cause stabbing, burning and sharp pain in the affected area when moving and is typically worse after exercise. In addition, it can also cause swelling, stiffness, restricted movement and tenderness along with pain in various parts of the hips as well as sensory changes such as numbness.

The primary symptom of greater trochanteric pain syndrome is pain that increases when pressure is placed on the affected area, such as during activities like standing up from a seated position or climbing stairs. Other associated symptoms may include tenderness and swelling around the greater trochanter, which is an area located on the outer side of your upper femur bone. Pain may be exacerbated by activities like sleeping on your side for long periods of time or running on hard surfaces.

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome can be treated through chiropractic adjustments, physiotherapy, and massage therapy. When chiropractic care is applied to the area of discomfort, it helps to restore proper joint motion and allows for better muscular activation. Physiotherapy includes stretching and strengthening exercises to build strength and flexibility across the hip region. Massage therapy focuses on breaking up adhesions around muscles and tissues, resulting in improved circulation, movement, and range of motion. All these treatments can help relieve pain associated with Greater trochanteric pain syndrome and improve overall mobility.

I cannot recommend Dr. Shannon Webster and Dr. Michael Torreiter enough. Both are super friendly and understanding and it has been an absolute pleasure to have met them and been treated by them.

I have been receiving treatment from Dr. Webster for a few months and I've been feeling much better. I had sever knee, shoulder and back pain. I couldn't squat or do push ups without my joints screaming at me. But now I'm not able to only do all those but also feel stronger. The most important piece is that she listened and took my history of many injuries into consideration. And as a dancer, I couldn't have asked for a better chiropractor who not only helped me feel better but also understood my needs.

I also brought my grandmother to Dr. Torreiter for her back pain for acupuncture. He was extremely kind, understanding, compassionate and everything that I could ask for. He made her feel comfortable and explained every step during each treatment. He made sure that she was well taken care of and also made other important referrals that lead to her recovery.

So far I have referred my whole family to these two wonderful individuals and everyone's experience has been equally great. Thanks to them we all are doing much better!
