Shockwave Therapy for Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (TPS) in East Auckland

Struggling with Outer Hip Pain? We Can Help.

If you’re dealing with persistent pain on the outside of your hip, you may be experiencing Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (TPS) — a common condition we regularly treat at our East Auckland physiotherapy clinic.

Whether you’re walking along the beach, training at the gym, or playing weekend sport, hip pain can quickly limit your lifestyle.

What is Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (TPS)?

Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (also known as greater trochanteric pain syndrome) is caused by irritation of the gluteal tendons on the outside of your hip.

It commonly affects:

• Active individuals and runners

• People returning to sport

• Those with physically demanding jobs

Common Symptoms

• Pain on the outside of the hip

• Difficulty lying on the affected side

• Pain when walking, running, or climbing stairs

• Stiffness after sitting

• Pain that flares up with activity

Many patients tell us:

“It feels okay at rest, but worse when I move.”

Why Your Hip Pain Isn’t Going Away

TPS often becomes chronic because:

• Tendons don’t heal properly with rest alone

• Muscle weakness isn’t addressed

• Patients return to activity too early

👉 This leads to recurring pain cycles

⚡ Shockwave Therapy: A Proven Treatment for TPS

At our East Auckland clinic, we use shockwave therapy to target the root cause of your hip pain.

How It Works:

Shockwave therapy delivers targeted energy into the affected tissues to stimulate healing.

✅ Accelerates tendon healing✅ Reduces pain quickly✅ Improves blood circulation✅ Breaks down chronic inflammation✅ Helps you return to activity faster

What to Expect During Treatment

• Sessions take 5–10 minutes

• No downtime — return to normal activities immediately

Most patients need:

• 3–6 sessions
