Symptoms and Treatment for Bursitis with our Chiropractors in Dallas

If you frequently experience pain and loss of range of motion in your hips, shoulders, elbows knees or feet, you may have bursitis, which is an inflammation of the bursa. The bursas are fluid-filled sacs that provide cushioning between the bones and soft tissues. Our chiropractors in Dallas can help alleviate your discomfort and improve the range of motion of the afflicted joint.

What is Inflammation of the Bursa?

Inflammation of the bursa occurs when the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the bones from the soft tissues become irritated and fill with excess fluid. This puts pressure on the surrounding soft tissues and nerves. The condition is often caused and exasperated by repetitive motions and strenuous physical activity. Bursa inflammation most commonly occurs in an elbow, shoulder, knee and hip. If you think you have bursitis, you should stop your activity and rest and ice the area.
