Bursitis Treatment
Understanding Bursitis
Bursitis is a common condition that causes joint pain and inflammation. At the Pain Clinic of Northwest Florida, we concentrate on providing extensive treatment solutions to ease bursitis, assisting you in regaining unhindered mobility and efficiency in function.
Causes of Bursitis:
- Repetitive Motions: Repetitive motions or activities that put excessive stress on a joint can lead to bursitis.
- Joint Overuse: Overuse of a joint due to prolonged or intense activity can cause irritation and inflammation of the bursae.
- Trauma or Injury: Direct trauma or injury to a joint can result in bursitis.
- Infection: In rare cases, bursitis can be caused by an infection in the bursa.
Symptoms of Bursitis:
- Joint Pain: The most common symptom of bursitis is pain in the affected joint, which can range from mild to severe.
- Swelling: Swelling and tenderness around the affected joint.
- Limited Range of Motion: Stiffness and difficulty moving the joint fully.
- Warmth or Redness: The skin over the affected area may feel warm to the touch or appear red.
Effective Bursitis Treatments:
- Rest and Activity Modification: Resting the affected joint and avoiding activities that worsen the pain can help reduce inflammation and promote healing.
- Ice and Heat Therapy: Applying ice packs or using heat therapy can help reduce pain and inflammation.
- Physical Therapy: Our skilled physical therapists can develop a personalized exercise program to strengthen the muscles around the affected joint, improve flexibility, and reduce pain.
- Medication Management: Our pain management specialists can prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or other medications to relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
- Injection Therapy: In some cases, corticosteroid injections may be recommended to provide localized pain relief and decrease inflammation.
- Ultrasound-Guided Aspiration: In certain situations, aspiration of fluid from the inflamed bursa using ultrasound guidance may be performed to alleviate symptoms.
- Antibiotics (if applicable): If bursitis is caused by an infection, antibiotics may be prescribed to treat the underlying infection.
