The American Society for Medical Shockwave Treatment (ASMST) 2026 Annual Summit is scheduled to take place in Boston, MA, from March 13–15, 2026. This event is a major gathering for professionals in the field of shockwave medicine, including orthopedics, neurology, urology, and aesthetics.

Focus: Evidence-based education on Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT), and other regenerative modalities.

The conference features lectures, peer-to-peer education, and, for the first time in their series, expanded sessions on neurology, urology, and aesthetics.

The ASMST is recognized as a leading organization dedicated to the advancement of shockwave medicine, providing a platform for clinicians and researchers to share research and improve patient care.

Pain rarely affects just one moment. Over time, it changes routines, limits social plans, and makes people sit out more than they want to. You don’t have to accept that as normal.

SoftWave Therapy helps people return to the activities they love without masking symptoms. By supporting tissue regeneration and improving blood flow, it is designed to address pain at the source and help restore confidence in daily movement.

You do not have to plan your life around pain. Get back to living.

Schedule a free consultation to explore your options.

Movement matters, but forcing movement through pain often creates setbacks. People start to compensate, avoid certain positions, and gradually do less than they want to, even when they are trying to “do the right thing.”

SoftWave Therapy is a noninvasive, drug-free approach that supports healing by improving circulation and stimulating tissue repair in injured areas.

When pain improves, walking, strength work, stretching, and everyday movement often become part of recovery again instead of a trigger.

Move smarter. Heal faster.

Book a consultation to learn whether SoftWave Therapy is right for you.

A strong body at 70 is built at 50.

Start now.

Strength doesn’t appear overnight.

It’s built year by year, habit by habit.

The stability you’ll rely on later… the balance that keeps you upright… the muscle that protects your joints… all of it is earned in advance.

You don’t wait until you feel weak to start training.

You build strength before you need it.

Every walk.

Every set of squats.

Every disciplined choice.

You’re not just training for today.

You’re training for the decades ahead.

Start now.

If an injury has not improved after weeks or months, it is often a sign that healing has stalled, not that you simply need more time. Ongoing pain can lead to compensation patterns, reduced activity, and a cycle that becomes harder to break.

SoftWave Therapy stimulates circulation and cellular repair where healing has stalled. Using non-invasive acoustic wave technology, SoftWave is designed to activate healing at the source so you can move forward, not just “wait it out.”

If pain has been lingering longer than it should, schedule a consultation to see if SoftWave Therapy could help.

Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (Trochanteric Bursitis CAUSED by Gluteal Tendinopathy) – Treatment Approach

1. Accurate Diagnosis First

GTPS is primarily a gluteus medius and/or minimus tendinopathy, NOT isolated trochanteric bursitis. Current evidence shows the bursal fluid is usually secondary to tendon degeneration rather than primary inflammation.

Common features:
• Lateral hip pain and point tenderness over the greater trochanter
• Pain with side-lying, prolonged sitting, stairs, single-leg stance
• Weak hip abductors, positive Trendelenburg or resisted abduction pain

Clinical orthopedic exam and/ or Imaging (US/MRI) may confirm tendinosis, partial tearing, or peritendinous bursitis.

2. First-Line Conservative Management

Load Management & Activity Modification
• Avoid prolonged side-lying on the affected side
• Limit repetitive hip adduction / cross-leg sitting
• Reduce high-impact activity temporarily

Targeted Rehabilitation
Focus on progressive loading of the gluteal tendons

Avoid IT band stretching or compressive positions early, which increase tendon compression against the greater trochanter.

3. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (SoftWave / ESWT)
One of the most effective non-invasive options for chronic gluteal tendinopathy:
• Stimulates angiogenesis and tendon regeneration
• Improves collagen organization
• Reduces chronic degenerative pain signaling

ESWT is indicated in many clinical studies as superior to corticosteroid injections for long-term outcomes, particularly beyond 3–6 months.

Manual Therapy / Myofascial Work
Used to address secondary TFL, IT band, and lumbar-pelvic contributors — but not as primary tendon treatment.

4. Injection-Based Therapies (Selective Use)

Regenerative Injections (PRP, Prolotherapy)
• Considered in refractory cases or partial tears
• Evidence supports improved tendon healing compared to steroids

Corticosteroid Injections
• MAY provide short-term relief
• Associated with high recurrence rates
• Potentially deleterious to tendon integrity with repeated use

Should be AVOIDED as primary long-term management in gluteal tendinopathy.

5. Surgical Consideration (Rare)

Reserved for:
• Full-thickness tears
• Refractory cases after ≥6 months of structured conservative and regenerative care

Includes tendon repair or bursectomy with abductor repair.

6. Key Clinical Principle

GTPS is a tendinopathy-dominant condition, not an inflammatory bursitis.
Optimal management follows the sequence:

Diagnose accurately → Reduce compressive load → Regenerate the tendon → Then strengthen and restore function

Pay close attention to this image. Notice the strips of necrotic, degenerative tissue within the glute medius tendon, and note how closely this tendon lies to the greater trochanteric bursa.

The fluid accumulation in the bursa is very likely secondary to the adjacent tendon pathology. It’s easy for both providers and patients to become distracted by the visible bursitis. But this is not the primary problem — the true driver here is the underlying gluteal tendinopathy.

We are planning to delay opening of the office tomorrow (Monday) until the afternoon due to the storm. Travel safely and use good technique and take breaks as needed if you’re shoveling.

Joint pain is often blamed on aging, but that doesn’t mean it has to be permanent.

SoftWave Therapy uses noninvasive acoustic waves to stimulate blood flow and activate tissue repair. It is designed to help the body heal rather than simply manage symptoms.

If you have been told pain is just something to accept, it may be worth learning about other options.
Schedule a consultation to learn how SoftWave Therapy works.
