PRP and Stem Cell Injections for Buttock Pain offered in Estero, Florida.
Do you suffer from nagging or sharp pain in your buttock that makes it hard to sit, walk, or enjoy daily activities?
Buttock pain can be especially frustrating because it often has more than one potential source. This results in patients going from doctor-to-doctor injection various locations to find the right target.
At Integrative Rehab Medicine, we understand that buttock pain is notoriously difficult to diagnose, which is why we use a comprehensive approach that combines a detailed physical examination with advanced imaging to uncover the true cause of your pain. After we identify the root causes of your buttock pain we will treat them with advanced non-surgical and regenerative therapies designed to restore tissue health and function.
Resolve Hip Pain and Regain Your Function
Common Symptoms of Buttock Pain
- Deep, aching pain in the buttock, sometimes radiating to the thigh
- Pain that worsens with prolonged sitting or walking
- Tingling or numbness when nerve compression is involved
- Weakness in surrounding muscles due to chronic irritation or instability
Causes of Buttock Pain
Buttock pain can stem from multiple structures, and often more than one issue contributes to the discomfort.
- Hip Joint Problems – Conditions such as hip osteoarthritis (OA) or hip tendonitis/tendinopathy can cause localized buttock pain due to joint degeneration or small tendon tears that irritate surrounding tissues.
- Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Dysfunction – Inflammation or instability of the SI joints, which connect the spine to the pelvis, often causes buttock pain that may mimic sciatica.
- Lumbar Spine Nerve Compression – Spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or degenerative changes in the lumbar spine can compress nerves, leading to referred pain in the buttock.
- Soft Tissue Injuries – Muscle strains or bursitis in the gluteal region may also contribute.
Because of these overlapping causes, proper diagnosis is essential to ensure effective treatment.
Accurate Diagnosis Is Key
At Integrative Rehab Medicine, we use a comprehensive diagnostic approach to identify the possible causes including spinal arthritis, stenosis, disc injury, tendon injury, tendonitis, hip arthritis and biomechanical dysfunction. This includes:
- Comprehensive physical examination assessing the hip, spine, and SI joints
- Ultrasound or MRI imaging to detect tendon tears, bursitis, disc injury or stenosis
- X-rays to evaluate arthritis and joint space narrowing
This allows us to tailor a comprehensive regenerative treatment plan specific to your injury and functional goals.
There are treatment options for hip bursitis beyond repeated steroid injections.

Regenerative Treatment Options
We specialize in non-surgical regenerative orthopedic solutions designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes and restore joint health. Our goal is to provide long-term pain relief by targeting the underlying cause of your buttock pain:
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) – Uses your body’s growth factors to heal tendon tears, strengthen tissues, and reduce inflammation in the hip or SI joints. PRP can also be used to treat the facet joints of the spine or damaged/ inflamed nerves.
- Prolotherapy – Stimulates repair and stabilizes ligaments around the pelvis, hips, and SI joints to restore function and reduce pain.
- Stem Cell Therapy (Bone Marrow Derived) – Provides regenerative cells that can repair damaged cartilage, tendons, and ligaments for patients with arthritis or chronic injuries.
- Discseel – Discseel Procedure is an injection-based treatment that utilizes natural Fibrin glue to seal spinal discs. Disc tears are a common cause of chronic back and buttock pain. The Discseel® Procedure is the only treatment proven to seal spinal discs and encourage disc healing.

Complementary Treatments
In addition to regenerative injections, we incorporate evidence-based complementary therapies to enhance recovery and long-term hip function:
- 1-on-1 Physical Therapy – Work directly with a licensed physical therapist to strengthen and re-educate muscles of the hip and spine. This neuromuscular reprogramming helps restore movement patterns and reduce reinjury risk.
- Nutritional Therapy & Supplements – Proper nutrition supports the healing of connective tissue. We offer personalized supplement protocols and dietary guidance to optimize collagen synthesis, reduce inflammation, and improve overall recovery.
