Chiropractic Care for Subtrochanteric Bursitis: A Promising Relief Option

Chiropractic Care for Subtrochanteric Bursitis: A Promising Relief Option

Subtrochanteric Bursitis, what is it?

First let's talk about what a bursa is, a bursa (fluid-filled sac) is a thin lubricant that is located at various areas in the body that help with friction between the bone and the surrounding soft tissue(Skin, Muscles, Ligaments, and Tendons)

The two major bursae in the hip are the subgluteous medius and subgluteus maximus. My patients are often middle-aged and have pain in the hip with a limp. Sleeping on the side where the bursae are inflamed is often too painful. 

What can cause it?

This is where Chiropractors really assess the body as there are many things that can cause bursitis. There is often a loss of internal rotation. Other things that can cause bursitis in the hip are low back dysfunctions, a leg length discrepancy, and arthritic conditions. 

How Can Health Wise Chiropractic Help?

Depending on what we find in a consultation, we often do the following:

- fixing the leg length discrepancy 

- adjusting the pelvis and hip 

- stretching the hip abductors

- if the problem is long-term, we use our ultrasound therapy. 

- after a couple of weeks, adjusting the hip when the inflammation has decreased is usually performed by a trained chiropractor.
