What Is the Most Common Trochanteric Bursitis Treatment?
Trochanteric bursitis can be a painful and long-term condition if not treated correctly. Some of the most common trochanteric bursitis treatment methods include resting the injured area, icing the hip around the site of the bursa, using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and in some cases drainage of the trochanteric bursa. Stretching and other physical therapy exercises are also important to reduce the stress on the bursa and speed recovery. The most important part of trochanteric bursitis treatment is rest. Initially, the injury is usually caused by overuse meaning that continuing the activity that caused the problem will only make it worse. Many athletes make this mistake and end up with a more serious condition to deal with. As a general rule, any movement that causes pain around the area of the hip should be avoided until treatment has progressed.
