Trochanteric Bursitis and Hip Pain - An MSK Therapy Perspective

 

Trochanteric Bursitis and Hip Pain


Man with Hip Pain and Trochanteric Bursitis
Hip pain caused by Trochanteric Bursitis is surprisingly common. Trauma caused by falls is a common reason for experiencing hip bursitis symptoms. Often, when people fall, specific contact points hit the floor first, such as hands, elbows, shoulders, and hips. Hence, many areas can get injured during a fall, and hips often take the brunt of many falls. Due to other swelling and pain, symptoms of trochanteric bursitis may not be apparent at the time of injury. Equally, unresolved injuries and habits can result in tissue adaptations and changes in biomechanics, which can also lead to hip bursitis. Such changes can lead to gradual symptom onset with no obvious, apparent cause. The full article on Hip Pain and Trochanteric Bursitis explains more about, symptoms, possible causes, anatomy and MSK Therapy treatment options.
