Is Bursitis the Cause of Your Pain
Has the swelling of your joints made it difficult to move? Is the sudden loss of movement keeping you from completing simple daily tasks? These may be sings of bursitis. This condition occurs when the bursa, or the sacks of fluid that sit between the joints, muscles and tendons, become swollen. At Total Pain Care, we understand how important it is to prevent bursitis and know that the right treatment for this condition is the key to your improved health.
Prevention is Key
Of the 160 bursae found in the body that are commonly exposed to aggressive or frequent movements, the most commonly injured are in the elbows, shoulders, ankles, knees, hips and thighs. There are several steps you can take to prevent this condition:
- Protect any vulnerable body parts with pads or braces
- Take breaks when making repetitive movements
- Warm up and stretch before physical activity
- Strengthen your muscles
