Bursitis is a condition characterized by the inflammation or irritation of a bursa, which is a small, fluid-filled sac that cushions and lubricates areas where tendons, skin, and muscles glide over bones. The inflammation of the bursa is often due to repetitive motion, pressure, or injury to a specific joint. Common sites for bursitis include the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee. Symptoms can include localized pain, swelling, tenderness, and limited movement in the affected joint.
Treatments we recommend for bursitis: Treatments will vary based on the cause and type of wrist pain. Accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment are essential for effectively managing symptoms and getting back to doing what you love. At STRONG., we may recommend seeking help through physiotherapy or chiropractic. Chiropractic or physiotherapy treatments might include exercise or rehabilitation of the affected area, tissue release of tight muscles, joint mobilization/manipulation, or acupuncture. Severe cases may require aspiration of fluid from the bursa or corticosteroid injections for pain relief.
