Hip Pain and Bursitis in Springfield VA

If you’re struggling with hip pain, stiffness, or pain when walking, sleeping, or climbing stairs, you may be suffering from hip bursitis or biomechanical hip dysfunction in Springfield VA.

At Thrive Integrative Health, we specialize in identifying the true cause of hip pain — not just where it hurts — and treating it with advanced non-surgical therapies that restore movement, reduce inflammation, and prevent recurrence.

What Is Hip Bursitis?

Your hip joint contains fluid-filled sacs called bursae that reduce friction between bones, tendons, and muscles. When these sacs become inflamed, it causes hip bursitis — a painful, often disabling condition.

The most common type is:

• Trochanteric bursitis (outer hip pain)

---

Hip Bursitis Symptoms

• Pain on the outside of the hip
• Pain when lying on one side
• Pain with walking, standing, or stairs
• Tenderness to touch
• Burning or aching sensation
• Pain that worsens at night
• Hip stiffness

Why Hip Bursitis Keeps Coming Back

Bursitis is rarely just inflammation — it is usually caused by poor biomechanics, including:

• Pelvic misalignment
• Spinal imbalance
• Leg length discrepancy
• Weak glute muscles
• Tight hip flexors
• Poor gait patterns
• Past injuries or falls

If these are not corrected, injections and medications only provide temporary relief.

Other Causes of Hip Pain

Hip pain may also be caused by:

• Labral tears
• Arthritis
• Sciatica
• Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
• Disc issues in the low back
• Muscle imbalances
• Post-surgical changes

That’s why proper diagnosis is critical.

How We Diagnose Hip Pain at Thrive Integrative Health

We use:

• Digital X-rays
• Postural & gait analysis
• Pelvic alignment assessment
• Range of motion testing
• Neurological screening

This allows us to identify:

• Whether bursitis is present
• If the pelvis or spine is contributing
• Whether nerves are involved
• Why the inflammation developed
