Hip Trochanteric Bursitis Treatment Near Washington, DC

Are you experiencing persistent hip pain on the outer side of your thigh? You may be suffering from trochanteric bursitis, a common and often painful condition that can affect your mobility and daily activities. At Kaizo Health, our experienced chiropractic and rehabilitation team provides expert diagnosis and treatment for hip bursitis—helping you get back to moving pain-free.

With over 30 years of experience and more than 100,000 patients treated, we’re proud to offer trusted care to patients across Fairfax, Rockville, Fort Washington, and Landover.

What Is Hip Trochanteric Bursitis?

Your greater trochanter is the bony point at the top of your thighbone (femur). Surrounding it is a fluid-filled sac called a bursa, which helps reduce friction between tissues. When this bursa becomes inflamed due to overuse, trauma, or biomechanical stress, it leads to trochanteric bursitis.

Common Causes of Trochanteric Bursitis

  • Repetitive movements (e.g., running, climbing stairs)

  • Muscle imbalances or tightness (especially in the glutes or IT band)

  • Previous hip injury or surgery

  • Poor posture or altered gait

  • Direct trauma or falls

  • Underlying conditions like arthritis or scoliosis

Symptoms of Trochanteric Bursitis

  • Sharp or aching pain on the outside of the hip

  • Pain that worsens with walking, running, or lying on the affected side

  • Swelling or tenderness near the greater trochanter

  • Stiffness or reduced hip mobility

  • Discomfort after sitting for long periods

Our Approach to Treating Trochanteric Bursitis

At Kaizo Health, we don’t just treat the symptoms—we address the underlying biomechanical issues that lead to bursitis. Our integrated care model combines chiropractic, rehab, and soft tissue techniques to deliver long-term relief and restore optimal function.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Gentle, targeted adjustments improve alignment of the hips, pelvis, and lower back—reducing pressure on the bursa and supporting proper movement patterns.

Manual Therapy & Myofascial Release

We use techniques like instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), cupping, dry needling, and trigger point therapy to release muscle tightness in the glutes, IT band, and tensor fasciae latae (TFL), which commonly aggravate the bursa.

Strength & Stability Rehab (Kaizo X)

Our team designs personalized exercise programs to strengthen the hip stabilizers and improve core function. This helps offload pressure from the inflamed bursa and prevents future flare-ups.

Mobility & Flexibility Training (Kaizo Flex)

Targeted stretching and mobility work restore functional movement in the hips and surrounding joints, supporting pain-free motion during daily activities and workouts.

Expected Results from Bursitis Treatment

Many patients begin to experience relief within 2–4 weeks of consistent treatment. As the inflammation subsides and the hip stabilizes, you can expect:

  • Reduced pain and tenderness

  • Improved hip mobility and strength

  • Easier walking, sitting, and sleeping positions

  • Lower risk of recurrence or compensation injuries
