Hip Tendinopathy in Atlanta Patients

Hip tendinopathy refers to degenerative changes in the tendons that support and move the hip joint. The most commonly affected tendons include the gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and hip flexor (iliopsoas) tendons.

Characteristic symptoms of hip tendinopathy include:

Lateral hip or buttock pain, especially after activity
Pain when lying on the affected side at night
Increased pain with stairs, hills, or prolonged walking
Tenderness over the greater trochanter (outer hip bone)
Groin or anterior hip pain (with hip flexor involvement)

Many patients are initially treated for bursitis, but imaging frequently reveals the tendon as the primary pain source. Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.
