Bursitis is a common condition that affects people of all ages. It occurs when the bursae, small sacs filled with fluid that cushion and lubricate the joints, become inflamed. In the case of hip bursitis, the bursa that is affected is located on the outer part of the hip, between the hip bone and the muscles and tendons that pass over it.
What Exactly is Bursitis?
Bursitis is a condition that occurs when the bursae become inflamed, usually as a result of overuse or injury. Bursae are small sacs filled with fluid that are located throughout the body, particularly in areas where there is a lot of movement, such as the joints. They act as cushions, helping to reduce friction between bones, tendons, and muscles. When bursae become inflamed, it can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness in the affected joint.
What Causes Hip Bursitis?
Hip bursitis can be caused by a variety of factors. Some of the most common causes include:
Repetitive Motion: Overuse of the hip joint can cause irritation and inflammation of the bursa.
- Injury: A fall or other injury can cause irritation and inflammation of the bursa.
- Poor Posture: Poor posture can cause misalignment of the hip joint, leading to overuse and inflammation of the bursa.
- Medical Conditions: Some medical conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, or thyroid disease, can increase the risk of developing bursitis.
What are the Symptoms of Hip Bursitis?
Treatment for hip bursitis depends on the severity of the condition. In most cases, conservative treatments are recommended, including:
- Rest: Resting the affected joint can help reduce inflammation and pain.Ice: Applying ice to the affected area can help reduce swelling and pain.
- Physical Therapy: Physical therapy can help improve range of motion and reduce inflammation.
- Pain Medication: Over-the-counter pain medication, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, can help relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
- Corticosteroid Injections: In some cases, corticosteroid injections may be recommended to reduce inflammation and pain.
- Chiropractic Care: Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment option that can help reduce pain and inflammation, increase range of motion, and improve overall joint function.
Benefits of Typical Chiropractic Care for Hip Bursitis
Typical chiropractic care is an effective, non-invasive and safe treatment option for hip bursitis. Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to help reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness in the affected joint. These techniques may include:
- Spinal Adjustments: Spinal adjustments can help improve joint function and reduce inflammation.
- Hip Adjustments: Adjustments of the hip joint itself can tremendously improve the symptoms of hip bursitis as well correct underlying issues to permanently heal this condition.

In addition to these techniques, chiropractic care can also help to address the underlying causes of hip bursitis, such as poor posture or misalignment of the hip joint. By correcting these issues, chiropractors can help prevent future flare-ups of hip bursitis.
Furthermore, chiropractic care can help hip bursitis heal better than most other available options. While pain medication and corticosteroid injections can provide temporary relief, they do not address the underlying issues that are causing hip bursitis. Chiropractic care, on the other hand, can help improve joint function and reduce inflammation, leading to long-term healing and relief from pain and discomfort.
Finally, chiropractic care is often less expensive than other treatment options, such as surgery or prolonged medication use. This makes it a great option for those looking to manage their hip bursitis without breaking the bank.
