Lateral Hip Pain: Causes and Physiotherapy Treatment
(By Dr. Deepika Bansal β Available in Balewadi, Wakad, Aundh, Pimple Saudagar)
Lateral hip pain refers to pain on the outer side of the hip, commonly affecting middle-aged women, athletes, and individuals with sedentary lifestyles. It is often misdiagnosed as hip joint arthritis, but in many cases, it is due to gluteal tendinopathy or trochanteric bursitis.
Common causes include:
πΉ Gluteus medius/minimus tendinopathy
πΉ Trochanteric bursitis
πΉ Iliotibial (IT) band friction syndrome
πΉ Referred pain from lower back or SI joint
πΉ Poor biomechanics and prolonged standing or side-lying posture
At Dr. Deepika Bansalβs physiotherapy clinic, the treatment approach includes:
βοΈ Thorough assessment to identify the exact cause
βοΈ Activity modification to reduce repetitive strain
βοΈ Strengthening exercises for gluteal and core muscles
βοΈ Stretching tight structures like the IT band
βοΈ Gait and posture correction
βοΈ Pain-relieving modalities β ultrasound, IFT, dry needling, or laser
βοΈ Education on ergonomics and safe movements
Lateral hip pain is treatable without surgery if addressed early. Book a session with Dr. Deepika Bansal for a customized, evidence-based physiotherapy plan tailored to your needs.
