Chiropractic care for bursitis
A natural first step in finding relief from bursitis pains and discomfort.
Understanding Bursitis and how chiropractic care could help manage pain or discomfort.
What is Bursitis?
Bursitis, often referred to as a 'working man's disease,' is most common in those over the age of 40. It can occur through repetitive motion or minor impact.
A bursa is a sac of fluid that provides cushion for bones and tendons around a joint. If a joint is overused or under pressure for long periods from sport, work, or some other repetitive motion, a nearby bursa can become inflamed. Although bursitis most commonly strikes the shoulders in individuals with hobbies such as gardening, raking, carpentry, shoveling, painting, scrubbing, tennis, golf, skiing, throwing, or pitching, bursitis can also affect the elbows, knees, and hips.
If you are experiencing bursitis shoulder pain or shoulder bursitis symptoms, such as pain, swelling, and tenderness, chiropractic care may offer a non-invasive and drug-free shoulder bursitis treatment to alleviate your symptoms.

Chiropractors provide gentle, non-invasive adjustments that reduce restrictions in joints. The adjustment helps reduce joint inflammation that causes pain, restores joint mobility, and improves the function of the nervous system. Spinal health allows the body to better manage symptoms associated with bursitis.
