How to Identify Hip Bursitis and the AMIT Solution
Hip bursitis is inflammation of a bursa, a small fluid-filled cushion near the hip. The most common type affects the bursa over the bony point on the outside of the hip, called the greater trochanter, and causes pain at the point of the hip that spreads down the outside of the thigh. The pain is typically worse at night when lying on that side and when getting up from a chair after sitting for a while.
It is more common in women and in middle-aged and older adults, and surgery is rarely needed. Since the bursa sits under the hip muscles and the IT band, how those muscles are working has a lot to do with how irritated it stays.
Hip bursitis is a painful condition that affects the small fluid-filled pads, called bursae, which act as cushions between bones, tendons, and muscles near the joints.
When these bursae become inflamed, hip bursitis can develop, causing pain and reduced mobility. This is one of the leg and hip conditions AMIT addresses by restoring proper muscle activation instead of relying on surgery.

AMIT Treatment for Hip Bursitis
Causes of Hip Bursitis
Hip bursitis is often caused by repetitive motions or positions that irritate the bursae around the hip joint. Common causes include:
Overuse or Repetitive Stress: Activities such as running, cycling, or standing for long periods.
Direct Trauma: A fall or direct blow to the hip area.
Poor Posture: Misalignment of the body can place additional stress on the hips.
Underlying Conditions: Conditions like osteoarthritis can also contribute to hip bursitis.
Surgery around the hip or a hip implant can also irritate the bursa.
Symptoms of Hip Bursitis
The most common symptoms of hip bursitis include:
Pain and Stiffness: An achy feeling in the hip that worsens with movement or pressure.
Swelling and Redness: The hip may appear swollen or red, especially after prolonged activity.
Tenderness: Pain is usually felt on the outside of the hip.
In the early stages the pain is usually sharp and intense. Later it often becomes more of an ache that spreads across a larger area of the hip.
Two Types of Hip Bursitis
There are two bursae in the hip that commonly become inflamed:
Trochanteric bursitis: The bursa over the greater trochanter, the bony point on the outside of the hip. This is the most common type, with pain on the outside of the hip and thigh.
Iliopsoas bursitis: The bursa on the inside, or groin side, of the hip. The pain is in the groin. It is less common but usually treated in a similar way.
Hip Bursitis vs. Hip Arthritis vs. Hip Dysplasia
Where the pain sits is the best first clue:
Hip bursitis: Pain at the point of the hip and down the outside of the thigh, worse lying on that side and getting up from a chair.
Osteoarthritis of the hip: Deep pain in the groin, thigh, or buttock, with stiffness that is worse in the morning or after sitting. Most common after age 50.
Hip dysplasia: Pain in the groin and on the side or back of the hip, sometimes with clicking or popping, often first noticed in teens or young adults.
Our article on hip pain when sitting or standing too long covers these patterns in more detail.
AMIT Treatment for Hip Bursitis
What Happens During Hip Bursitis?
Hip bursitis occurs when muscles surrounding the hip joint become inhibited due to trauma or overuse, leading to inflammation in the bursa. Inhibited muscles fail to support the hip joint properly, causing excessive stress and motion limitations. Over time, this can lead to degenerative changes, including arthritis, if the condition is not properly treated.
How Does AMIT Help?
Advanced Muscle Integration Technique (AMIT) is designed to reactivate inhibited muscles around the hip joint, helping to reduce inflammation and restore joint stability. By addressing the root cause of muscle inhibition, AMIT can help prevent the progression of hip bursitis into osteoarthritis. The technique also aids in reestablishing proper muscle function, reducing pain, and improving mobility.
On a first visit we check how the hip moves, test the glutes, hip rotators, and thigh muscles one at a time, and look at how you stand, walk, and get up from a chair. The visit takes about 40 minutes; what to expect explains how to prepare. Pain on the outside of the knee from the same chain of muscles is covered on our IT band syndrome page.
Steps to Take If You Have Hip Bursitis
Consult a Specialist: At AMIT, we specialize in treating hip injuries using our proprietary muscle activation method. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.
Don’t Take Anti-Inflammatories: Inflammation is necessary to heal. Antiinflammatories like ibuprofen, Motrin, and cortisone injections slow down the healing process.
Rehabilitation: After AMIT treatment, our team will guide you through exercises to strengthen and improve the flexibility of the hip muscles, enhancing recovery and preventing recurrence.
Why Choose AMIT for Hip Bursitis?
Non-Invasive Treatment: AMIT is a non-surgical approach to managing hip pain.
Prevent Arthritis: By reactivating inhibited muscles, AMIT reduces stress on the hip joint, preventing degenerative conditions such as arthritis.
Improve Function and Mobility: AMIT restores joint stability and improves muscle function for long-term relief.

Hip Bursitis Treatment in Draper and Kaysville
AMIT Clinics treats hip bursitis at both Utah locations: Draper, at 12371 S 900 E Unit 101, and Kaysville, at 447 North 300 West Ste 5. We see runners and cyclists, people who stand on their feet all day, and people whose hip has hurt since a fall. Buttock pain that travels down the leg is more often piriformis syndrome.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hip Bursitis
What does hip bursitis feel like?
Pain at the point of the hip that usually extends down the outside of the thigh. Early on it is sharp and intense; later it often becomes an ache over a larger area.
Why does hip bursitis hurt more at night?
Lying on the affected side presses on the inflamed bursa. Pain is typically worse at night, when lying on that hip, and when getting up from a chair after sitting.
Who gets hip bursitis?
Anyone can, but it is more common in women and in middle-aged and older adults. It is less common in younger people and in men.
What is the difference between hip bursitis and hip arthritis?
Bursitis causes pain on the outside of the hip and thigh. Hip osteoarthritis usually causes deep pain in the groin, thigh, or buttock, with stiffness that is worse in the morning.
Does hip bursitis need surgery?
Rarely. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons notes that surgery is rarely needed and initial treatment does not involve surgery.
Can hip bursitis cause groin pain?
Yes, when the iliopsoas bursa on the inside of the hip is inflamed. That type is less common than bursitis on the outside of the hip.
