Bursitis, what is it?                                                                             

Bursitis, also referred to as the illness of a working man, may occur by constant motion or slight effects. A bursa is a fluid sac which acts as a cushion around a joint to protect bones and tendons. A nearby bursa may become inflamed if a joint is overused or under strain from sport, work or otherwise for long periods of time. The main signs of bursitis include discomfort, swelling and tenderness of the joints.

In people over 40, this specific condition is most prominent. In persons with interests such as gardening, raking, carpentry, shoveling, painting, scrubbing, tennis, golf, skiing, tossing, or pitching, bursitis most usually hits the shoulders. Bursitis may also impact shoulders, knees and hips.

How Does Bursitis Benefit Patients with Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic treatment can be a fantastic means of treating and relieving bursitis-induced swelling and discomfort. Routine chiropractic treatment is a convenient, non-invasive, non-addictive alternative to prescription or over-the-counter pain drugs (OTCs) for patients with bursitis, which are typically administered to patients to help them relieve their pain and swelling.

A gentle, non-invasive, non-addictive treatment, known as chiropractic correction, is offered by chiropractors. In an attempt to minimize pain and enhance the function of both the injured joint and the nervous system, chiropractic changes reduce joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine and other joints in the body. Your body has the potential to help control symptoms caused by bursitis by increasing joint stability and strengthening the nervous system function and spinal health.

Many of the health advantages that chiropractic treatment and chiropractic changes can bring to patients with bursitis as below:

• Improved joint movement and co-ordination
• Relief from joint pain and stiffness
• Increased versatility
• Reduced inflammation

The chiropractors at FIT CLINIC will conduct a consultation, evaluation and, if appropriate, recommend you for medical imaging such as x-ray or MRI to see if chiropractic treatment is right for your condition. Your chiropractic doctor can want to co-treat your arthritis with other healthcare practitioners, including massage therapists, occupational therapists or other primary care doctors, depending on the results of our chiropractic examination and consultation.
