Treatment for trochanteric bursitis generally starts with addressing the inflammation, not the root cause of hip pain.

Dr. B found in her practice that almost 75% of patients referred with trochanteric bursitis don’t show any signs of inflammation in the ultrasound imaging she takes on arrival. Statistically, if your doctor told you this is the reason that your hip hurts, they’re unfortunately wrong.

Whether you have a correct diagnosis or not, there are ways to treat your hip that will address the root cause. Inflammation causes pain, but something else causes the inflammation.

The exercises that Coach E demonstrates here give you a strong foundation for correcting any movement patterns leading to wear and tear on your joints.
