Trochanteric bursitis

Trochanteric Bursitis

It refers to a collection of fluid and inflammation of bursa (a fluid filled sac) on the outside of our hip known as the greater trochanter. It rarely occurs on itself and is almost always caused by another conditions. Common conditions leading to Trochanteric Bursitis include: Glut muscle strain, Glut tendinopathy and Sciatica.

  •  Pain on the outside of the hip, thigh and buttock
  •  Difficulty with lying on the affected side, standing up from a chair, getting out of a car
  •  Clicking on the outside of the hip
  • Trauma: falling onto the hip and huge impact to the hip
  • After recent total hip replacement
  • Overuse: standing, running up and down stairs for long periods of time
  • Poor postural habit: leaning on one side when sitting, crossing legs
  • Comprehensive head-to-toe assessment to find out the causes of your discomfort and all related contributing factors
  • 100% Hands-on treatment to address any mobility issues related to nerves, muscles and joints.
  • Specific taping maybe applied to protect and off-load any irritated structures.
  • An individualized home exercise program is prescribed to enable self-management

As a general rule of thumb, the longer you have had the injury, the longer it will take to recover. Most of the time, you may assume things will get better by themselves with enough rest. But this is rarely the case, especially if your pain or other symptoms are stopping you from doing what you normally able to do. So, take action and get back doing what you love as soon as possible.
