Trochanteric Bursitis Treatment

Trochanteric bursitis causes pain on the outer side of the hip that can worsen with walking, climbing stairs, or lying on the affected side. Dr. Sanjay Rawat offers effective trochanteric bursitis treatment in Indore to relieve pain and restore comfortable movement.

About Trochanteric Bursitis Treatment

Trochanteric bursitis occurs when the bursa overlying the bony prominence on the outer hip, called the greater trochanter, becomes inflamed. It is commonly caused by repetitive friction from the iliotibial band, muscle weakness, or direct trauma. The condition is particularly common in middle-aged and older adults, and can significantly affect sleep quality due to pain when lying on the affected side.

Symptoms of Trochanteric Bursitis Treatment

• Pain on the outer side of the hip
• Tenderness directly over the greater trochanter
• Pain that worsens with walking or climbing stairs
• Discomfort when lying on the affected side
• Pain radiating down the outer thigh

Causes of Trochanteric Bursitis Treatment

• Repetitive friction from a tight iliotibial band
• Weakness in the hip abductor muscles
• Direct trauma or a fall onto the hip
• Underlying hip arthritis or leg length discrepancy
• Overuse from running or repetitive activity

Diagnosis

• Clinical examination with palpation of the greater trochanter
• Ultrasound to confirm bursal inflammation
• MRI in select, persistent cases
• Assessment of hip abductor strength and gait

Treatment Options
