BEST PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENT OF HIP BURSITIS IN MAHARANI BAGH-PHYSIONAUTICS Hip bursitis, commonly referred to as greater trochanteric bursitis, is an inflammation of the bursa located on the outer side of the hip. This fluid-filled sac acts as a cushion between the hip bones and surrounding muscles, tendons, and ligaments. When the bursa becomes irritated or inflamed, it can lead to significant pain and discomfort, particularly during activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or even sitting for extended periods. Causes of Hip Bursitis- The development of hip bursitis is often attributed to repetitive stress or overuse. Activities that involve repetitive motions—such as running on uneven surfaces or climbing stairs—can irritate the bursa. Other contributing factors include muscle weakness, poor posture, leg length discrepancies, direct trauma to the hip area, and certain medical conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Symptoms and Diagnosis Individuals with hip bursitis typically experience pain on the outer side of the hip that may radiate down the thigh. Pain can worsen when getting up from a seated position or lying on the affected side. Diagnosis usually involves a thorough physical examination by a healthcare professional who will assess symptoms and may ask about activity levels and any previous injuries. Physiotherapy Treatment Options Physical therapy plays a crucial role in managing hip bursitis. A physiotherapist will develop a personalized treatment plan aimed at reducing pain and inflammation while improving mobility and strength. Treatment may include: Pain Management: Techniques such as ice application, ultrasound therapy, or electrical stimulation can help alleviate pain.
