Trochanteric Bursitis

 

Trochanteric Bursitis-this is inflammation of the trochanteric bursa of the hip, with complications involving the gluteal muscles and IT Band. This is generally considered a repetitive use injury although it can be due to trauma as well. There will be localized pain with pressure, difficulty lying on the side at night, and increase in pain with activity. Acupuncture typically offers a favorable prognosis with this condition.
