WHAT IS HIP BURSITIS?
Your hip is a ball-and-socket joint. It is also the most mobile joint in the body. Because of its mobility there are many muscles that act to move and stabilize the hip joint.

A "bursa" is a fluid-filled sac that adds lubrication and decreases friction between bones and tendons. You have 2 bursa sacs in each hip to help them move easier.

Occasionally these sacs can become irritated and inflamed in a condition we refer to as "bursitis". This is characterized by pain on the outside (lateral) part of your hip right over the large boney prominence you can feel as you press on it.

WHAT CAUSES HIP BURSITIS?
The two major causes of hip bursitis pain are limited mobility and weakness. Either (or both) of these conditions can result in increased pressure on the bursa sac which then causes irritation and inflammation.

HOW TO TREAT HIP BURSITIS PAIN
Lateral hip bursitis pain is most-often treated conservatively with physical therapy including stretching and exercising. Rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medications can also help. In severe cases injections into the hip bursa area are also an effective form of treatment.
