Hip Tendinopathy
Using the power of innovative science and modern technology, Dr SW Clinic can help you live your best pain-free life without the need for invasive surgery.
Hip tendinopathy refers to a condition characterised by pain and inflammation in the tendons that attach the muscles around the hip joint to the bones.
Tendons are tough, fibrous tissues that connect muscles to bones and facilitate joint movement. When these tendons become irritated or damaged, it can result in hip pain and limited range of motion.
Hip tendinopathy can affect various tendons around the hip, with the most common being the iliotibial band (IT band) and the tendons of the gluteal muscles.
Early intervention and appropriate treatment can help manage symptoms and improve outcomes.
At Dr SW Clinics, we can treat a range of pain conditions using Regenerative Medicine and pain-relieving injections. If you are tired of living with pain and looking for a non-surgical intervention, then Dr SW Clinics could help you get back to your optimal quality of life.

FAQ's
- Overuse or Repetitive Stress: Hip tendinopathy often develops due to repetitive motions or overuse of the hip muscles and tendons. Activities such as running, cycling, and jumping can contribute to this condition.
- Muscle Imbalances: Imbalances in muscle strength or tightness around the hip joint can place additional stress on the tendons, leading to tendinopathy.
- Age-Related Changes: Tendons may degenerate or become less resilient with age, increasing the risk of tendinopathy.
- Poor Biomechanics: Faulty movement patterns or biomechanical issues can contribute to hip tendinopathy. For example, an abnormal gait or hip joint abnormalities may increase the risk.
- Pain on the outside of the hip that may radiate down the thigh.
- Tenderness and swelling over the bursa.
- Pain that worsens with activities involving hip movement, such as walking or climbing stairs.
- Pain when lying on the affected side.
Depending on the joint issue you present with, there may be a couple of ways to diagnose your pain and thereby find you a lasting solution.
Firstly, you will have a telephone consultation with one of our highly trained patient advisors. This patient advisor will ask you a series of pre-assessment questions to better understand your personal needs.
You will then be invited for a consultation with one of our leading experts. To better gain an understanding of the problem, the Consultant may suggest you receive an x-ray or an MRI.
What is an x-ray?
A diagnostic test that can help identify what issues are causing the pain.
What is an MRI?
A diagnostic test using a magnetic field and radio waves for a detailed image of both joint and soft tissue.
What is an ultrasound?
Typically a handheld device that provides an on the spot image of the soft tissue.
Once we’ve received the results of your diagnostic tests, our team will be able to advise you on next best steps to get you pain free.
