What Is Hip Bursitis?

Our bodies contain small fluid-filled sacs called Bursae throughout our bodies, mainly located in our hips, shoulders, knees, elbows, and heels. These bursae cushion our bones, but sometimes they can become inflamed causing pain. Symptoms may be sharp intense pains in the hip and thigh area, which becomes a more spreading ache over time. There is a list of risk factors associated with hip bursitis:

• Injury of the hip
• Stress/overuse
• Surgery
• Rheumatoid Arthritis 
• Bone spurs
• Calcium Deposits
• Spine Disease
• Differential leg lengths 

If you are suffering from hip bursitis or hip pain and are looking for telehealth physical therapy in Brooklyn, we can help.

How Telehealth Physical Therapy in Brooklyn Can Help Hip Bursitis

While there are many treatments for hip bursitis, it can be improved with lifestyle changes including exercises and stretches. Doing these exercises with a physical therapist can be more beneficial in bringing relief, along with heat, ice, and massage therapy. The idea behind this is that exercising and building your thigh and core muscles correctly will allow better support for your hips, causing less trauma to the joints. Here are some common exercises:  

• Hip bridges
• Lying lateral leg raises
• Lying leg circles

We believe prevention is just as important as treatment, if you are worried that you may be at risk of developing hip bursitis there are steps you can take to avoid this painful condition. 

• Avoid repeated strenuous hip activities
• Weight loss
• Work on strength and flexibility of the hips
