Chiropractic Treatments for Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome

Chiropractic Treatments for Greater trochanteric pain syndrome in Kansas City

The greater trochanter is part of your femur on the outside of your hip where your gluteal muscles attach to your femur. This place of attachment has a bursa, a small sac of fluid that acts as a cushion for the bone and protects the muscle’s tendon. The bursa can become irritated when the muscles surrounding it are functioning improperly. This results in an inflammatory process and pain is generated.

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome, commonly referred to as trochanteric bursitis, can also include other dysfunctions of the hip such as gluteal tendinopathy, IT band disorders, and myofascial trigger points.
