Bursitis

Bursitis Care

Bursitis occurs when the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the bones, tendons, and muscles near the joints become inflamed. This inflammation can cause pain, swelling, and limited range of motion, often in areas like the shoulder, elbow, or hip. Bursitis is commonly caused by repetitive motion, overuse, or sudden injury. At Lifestyle Healthcare, we provide a combination of advanced therapies to address the root causes of bursitis, alleviate pain, and restore joint function for long-term relief.

Understanding the Causes of Arthritis and Holistic Treatment Approaches

Causes: Poor posture, misalignments in the spine, and joint dysfunction can contribute to the development of bursitis, as they place abnormal stress on surrounding tissues, leading to inflammation.

Treatment: Chiropractic care focuses on correcting spinal misalignments and improving joint function. By realigning the spine and addressing imbalances in the body, chiropractic adjustments can reduce pressure on the bursae, alleviate inflammation, and promote healing in the affected area.

Causes: Repetitive movements or overuse of a joint can cause wear and tear on the bursae, leading to inflammation and pain.

Treatment: Shockwave therapy uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in the affected tissues. This non-invasive therapy promotes blood flow, reduces inflammation, and accelerates the repair of damaged tissues, making it a highly effective treatment for bursitis.

Causes: Chronic inflammation in the bursae can lead to persistent pain and stiffness in the affected joint, limiting mobility and quality of life.

Treatment: Class IV laser therapy uses light energy to penetrate deep into tissues, reducing inflammation and promoting cellular repair. By enhancing blood circulation and stimulating tissue regeneration, laser therapy can provide significant relief from the pain and swelling associated with bursitis.

Causes: Long-term inflammation or injury to the bursae can cause chronic pain and discomfort, affecting joint mobility and function.

Treatment: PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and stem cell injections use your body’s natural healing properties to accelerate tissue repair. By injecting growth factors and stem cells directly into the affected area, these treatments help reduce inflammation, repair damaged tissue, and promote long-lasting relief from bursitis symptoms.

Causes: Weakness, imbalances in muscle strength, and improper movement patterns can contribute to the development of bursitis, placing additional stress on the affected joint.

Treatment: Physical therapy focuses on strengthening the muscles around the joint, improving flexibility, and restoring proper movement patterns. By enhancing muscle function and joint mobility, physical therapy helps reduce strain on the bursae, alleviates pain, and prevents future flare-ups.

Causes: Muscle tightness, poor circulation, and muscle imbalances can exacerbate the pain and discomfort associated with bursitis.

Treatment: Massage therapy targets tight muscles and connective tissues, improving circulation and reducing muscle tension. By alleviating stress around the affected joint and promoting relaxation, massage therapy helps reduce inflammation, ease pain, and improve overall joint function.
