BURSITIS

Bursitis is inflammation of the bursa, the tissues which surround bony prominences such as hips, elbows and shoulders.

Bursitis of the hips and shoulders are the types most commonly treated in this office.

Symptoms of bursitis are noticed as pain on the side of the shoulder or hip (not in the back) when lying in bed.  The pain of bursitis is also noticed with pressing the fingers into the hip or shoulder.

NEW TREATMENT FOR BURSITIS

Traditional medical treatment for bursitis includes anti-inflammatory medications and cortisone shots. This may temporarily relieve symptoms.

This office has had great effectiveness in permanently resolving pain of bursitis with the use of cold laser therapy, ultrasound and the combination of certain exercises and stretches.
