FAQs

Yes, with proper rest and treatment such as ice, physical therapy, and proper techniques to avoid strain, trochanteric bursitis often resolves without more invasive treatments.

It’s best to avoid activities that involve repetitive motion of the hip and those that put direct pressure on the hip area, such as running or sitting cross-legged.

Trochanteric bursitis typically affects one hip, though it's possible for both hips to be affected, especially if caused by underlying structural imbalances or certain systemic conditions.

No, trochanteric bursitis is inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac that reduces friction, whereas hip arthritis involves deterioration of the hip joint itself.

In addition to massage, treatments might include NSAIDs for pain relief, corticosteroid injections for severe cases, and physical therapy to strengthen the surrounding muscles and improve hip mechanics.

Trochanteric Bursitis Explained

Understanding Trochanteric Bursitis

Trochanteric bursitis is an inflammatory condition of the bursa located at the outer point of the hip, known as the greater trochanter. This condition is commonly seen in middle-aged or older individuals and can significantly impact mobility and quality of life.

Symptoms of Trochanteric Bursitis

Common symptoms include:

  • Persistent pain on the outer hip and thigh or in the buttock
  • Pain worsening with activity or when lying on the affected side
  • Increased tenderness and swelling in the hip area
  • Sharp pain when getting up from a seated position or climbing stairs

Causes and Risk Factors

The primary causes of trochanteric bursitis include:

  • Repetitive stress (running, cycling)
  • Direct impact injury
  • Prolonged pressure on the hip area
  • Hip surgery or prosthetic implants
  • Spinal diseases, leg-length inequality, or rheumatoid conditions

Diagnosis and Treatment

Diagnosing trochanteric bursitis typically involves a physical examination with possible imaging tests to rule out other conditions. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation and managing pain, usually through:

  • Rest and Activity Modification: Limiting activities that aggravate the condition.
  • Ice Therapy: Applying ice to reduce swelling and pain.
  • Medications: Using NSAIDs to manage inflammation.
  • Physical Therapy: Strengthening hip and core muscles to improve hip mechanics.
  • Sports Massage: To relieve muscle tightness and improve circulation.

Prevention

Preventive measures include maintaining a healthy weight, strengthening hip and thigh muscles, and using proper techniques during physical activities to avoid undue stress on the hips.
