Stop Suffering with Bursitis in Fort Myers, Florida
Bursitis is an extremely painful condition. Bursitis affects the fluid filled sacs known as the bursae. These fluid sacs cushion the tendons, bones, and muscles near the joints. Bursitis is inflammation of the bursae. The most common locations are hips, sit bones, shoulders, and elbows. It can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty moving and keeping up with daily activities comfortably.
Causes can be overuse of an area repetitively with movement or putting pressure. It can also be caused by trauma such as a fall or impact hit. Bursitis mostly impacts those over 40 who have played sports or had injury resulting accidents over the years.
Ice, rest, physical therapy, dry needling, and chiropractic all can help. Today we look at the way chiropractic can help relieve the pain and put this condition into remission for good.
How chiropractic care helps
Chiropractic care can be an excellent way to manage and help relieve pain and swelling caused by bursitis. Regular chiropractic care can help provide bursitis patients with a safe, non-invasive, non-addictive alternative to prescription medications or over-the-counter pain medications.
Chiropractors use a gentle, non-invasive, non-addictive therapy. Chiropractic adjustments reduce joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine and other joints in the body in an effort to reduce inflammation and improve function of both the affected joint and nervous system. By increasing joint mobility and improving your nervous system function and spinal health, your body has the ability to better manage symptoms leaving you feeling better.
Below are some of the benefits chiropractic adjustments can provide to bursitis patients:
- Improved joint motion
- Better balance and coordination
- Relief from joint discomfort and pain
- Better flexibility
- Less inflammation
