Trochanteric bursitis (hip bursitis) causes pain along the outer hip that may radiate down the thigh and is often worsened by lying on the affected side, prolonged walking or standing, stair climbing, or rising from sitting. While irritation of the bursa is involved, symptoms often persist when underlying movement or alignment issues are not addressed.

At The Essential Healing Center, we take a whole-body, hands-on approach to hip bursitis. Hip function is influenced by pelvic and leg alignment, muscle balance, connective tissue tension, circulation, and nerve support. Through comprehensive osteopathic evaluation and gentle treatment, we identify patterns contributing to excess strain at the hip and focus on reducing tissue tension, improving fluid movement, and restoring more balanced mechanics—helping support lasting comfort and functional movement over time.
