Bursitis Treatment

Bursitis causes painful swelling in the small fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints, most commonly affecting the shoulder, hip, knee, or elbow. Dr. Sanjay Rawat provides expert bursitis treatment in Indore to relieve inflammation and restore comfortable movement.

About Bursitis Treatment

Bursae are small sacs of fluid located near joints that reduce friction between bones, tendons, and muscles. When irritated by repetitive motion, prolonged pressure, or injury, they become inflamed, causing localized pain and swelling known as bursitis. It commonly affects people who kneel, lean, or perform repetitive joint movements for work or sport. While often manageable with conservative treatment, recurrent or infected bursitis requires prompt medical attention.

Symptoms of Bursitis Treatment

• Localized swelling and tenderness near a joint
• Pain that worsens with movement or pressure
• Warmth and redness over the affected area
• Stiffness after periods of rest
• Reduced range of motion in the nearby joint

Causes of Bursitis Treatment

• Repetitive joint movement or prolonged pressure
• Direct trauma or injury to the joint
• Underlying joint conditions such as arthritis
• Infection introduced through skin breaks
• Poor posture or biomechanics during activity

Diagnosis

• Physical examination of the affected joint
• Ultrasound to confirm fluid collection in the bursa
• Blood tests or fluid aspiration if infection is suspected
• X-ray to rule out associated bone changes

Treatment Options

• Rest and activity modification
• Ice application and anti-inflammatory medication
• Corticosteroid injection for persistent inflammation
• Aspiration of excess fluid when needed
• Surgical bursa removal for chronic, resistant cases
