What is Hip Bursitis?

Trochanteric bursitis is referred to by doctors as hip bursitis; it comes about when a sac near your hip joint fills up with fluid and becomes painful. Bursae are tiny sacks of fluid that act as cushions between bones and tissues encompassing joints throughout your body. When these sacks of fluid get irritated due to motion or pressure repeatedly applied upon them they can be sources of immense pain and discomfort.

Causes and Symptoms of Trochanteric Bursitis

When something irritates a bursa near your hip joint this results in trochanteric bursitis. This irritation may have been caused by:

– Repetitive stress or overuse
– Hip injuries or trauma
– Poor posture or gait issues
– Underlying conditions like arthritis

Symptoms often include:

– Pain on the outer side of the hip
– Swelling and tenderness around the hip joint
– Discomfort when lying on the affected side
– Increased pain with activities like walking, climbing stairs, or sitting for extended periods.

Our Approach to Treating Hip Bursitis

Wakeman Chiropractic takes a multifaceted approach to alleviating pain associated with trochanteric bursitis. In this respect, our treatment plans are designed based on each patient’s particular circumstance to address such aspects as pain relief, reduction of inflammation, and improved motion.

Chiropractic Adjustments

By doing accurate chiropractic adjustments we aim at realigning both the spine and hips thereby reducing the pressure exerted on the affected bursa and promoting spontaneous healing. Our adjustments bring back normal body function and balance which facilitate lasting pain relief.

FESWT or Focused Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy

This may be the most successful treatment for hip bursitis. In most cases, the condition resolves within 4-5 treatments. It eliminates the scar tissue, adhesion, and inflamed tissue associated with trochanteric / hip bursitis, allowing you to function pain-free.
Lifestyle and Posture Advice

To understand how important lifestyle modifications are, we guide you on how to choose a correct posture as well as ergonomic practices that will reduce stress exerted on your hips. We aim to enable you to develop healthier habits that promote a lifetime of well-being besides avoiding the recurrence of hip bursitis.Why Choose Wakeman Chiropractic?
