What is hip bursitis?

Hip bursitis is a common condition that occurs when the bursae in the hip joint become inflamed. Bursae are small, fluid-filled sacs that cushion bones and are located in various joints throughout the body. When hip bursae are inflamed, an aching pain can occur at the point of the hip or around the groin area.

What does hip bursitis treatment involve?

Many people with hip bursitis are able to resolve their pain through a combination of conservative approaches like physical therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes. In severe cases that do not respond to conservative care, hip bursitis treatment may involve minimally invasive surgery to remove the inflamed bursae.
