“What Is/Causes Hip Bursitis?” (aka “trochanteric bursitis”)

Jan. 7, 2022

Do you have pain along the outside of your thigh, right near that bony prominence that you can feel with your hands? (This bony prominence is your “greater tuberosity” in medical terms)

If so, you might just have hip bursitis, although known as “trochanteric bursitis”.

In this video, I’ll explain what hip bursitis is, as well as what causes it.

I’ll also explain more about how the muscle tendons that attach to your greater tuberosity are often the cause of hip bursitis pain.

And in future videos, I’ll explain how to treat hip bursitis and achieve lasting hip pain relief.

I hope it helps!
