Power Spine & Pain: Effective Relief for Hip Pain with Greater Trochanteric Injections
Greater trochanteric injections are used to alleviate pain associated with conditions affecting the greater trochanter, which is the bony prominence on the outer part of the hip. This injection targets inflammation and discomfort in the surrounding tissues.
What Are Greater Trochanteric Injections?
Greater trochanteric injections involve delivering a combination of anesthetic and corticosteroid directly into the area surrounding the greater trochanter to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
Conditions Treated with Greater Trochanteric Injections
These injections are particularly effective for treating:
- Trochanteric bursitis
- Tendonitis of the hip
- Pain from hip osteoarthritis
- Hip pain following surgery
Benefits of Greater Trochanteric Injections
Key benefits include:
- Targeted pain relief: Directly addresses pain in the hip region.
- Minimally invasive: Quick procedure with little downtime.
- Reduced inflammation: Helps decrease swelling and discomfort.
What to Expect After the Procedure
Patients typically experience significant pain relief shortly after the injection, with effects that can last from several days to months. Follow-up appointments will help assess the need for additional treatments.
