A member asked:
If stretching/strengthening exercises aren't working for gluteus medius pain (months of therapy) what exactly can a dr. do for this relentless pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
He (she) can do lots: if your doctor is a physical medicine doctor or an osteopathic doctor. First, he can perform a thorough examination as well as diagnostic testing. Second, if the diagnosis is neurological, he can give you blocks and/or epidural steroid injections. Third, he can coordinate therapy. There are trigger point therapies, such as dry needling, spray and stretch, and manual therapies he can administer.
