PRP education

PRP for glute tendonitis.

Gluteal tendinopathy can cause pain on the outside of the hip, often worse with walking, stairs, side-lying, or single-leg activity.

How PRP may help

PRP may be considered when gluteal tendon pain remains persistent despite strengthening, activity changes, and treatment of contributing hip mechanics.

Evidence note

A randomized, double-blind trial compared a single PRP injection with corticosteroid injection for gluteal tendinopathy. Fitzpatrick et al., 2018

When to schedule

Schedule if lateral hip pain limits walking, stairs, sleep, running, or return to activity.
