Chiropractic Therapy for Bursitis

If your job involves strenuous activity involving physical labor and/or movement of your joints, you may have heard the term bursitis thrown around. Bursitis, also known as the “working man’s disease,” is a painful condition involving inflammation of small sacs near our joints used as a barrier or cushion for our muscles, joints, tendons, and bones. It is caused by repeated pressure and moving your joints too much, such as gardening, carpentry, painting, scrubbing, tennis, golf, skiing, or even sitting the wrong way!

Who is at Risk?

Studies have shown this disease is common among active (or formally active) people around age 40 or over. Due to many harsh years on your body, a previous injury, or even just from old age, bursitis can appear. Some patients we have seen range anywhere from former professional athletes to a stay-at-home parent who developed the condition from cleaning and gardening. Unfortunately, doing active hobbies, or even our jobs, can come with unwanted results. Fortunately, bursitis pain is treatable and manageable with the right treatment plan. Our patients have found that visiting our chiropractic office has given them some relief and allowed them to continue their beloved hobbies and activities in their daily lives.

How can Chiropractic Therapy Help with Bursitis Pain?

At its core, chiropractic therapy aims to correct the misalignment of the vertebrae in your spine. Spinal manipulation has many benefits to our bodies overall. The technique can treat conditions such as bursitis by reducing inflammation, improving flexibility, and improving coordination to prevent further injuries. 

By choosing us at Preston Chiropractic to work with you on your condition, you’re selecting a non-invasive, safe alternative compared to other methods such as medications – which could lead to dependent behaviors. We offer treatment for areas like the hip, shoulder, elbows, knees, etc., commonly affected by bursitis. Chiropractic therapies dramatically improve the nervous system by relieving pressure on the joints, which can serve as a domino effect for treating inflammation and improving flexibility.

What Should I Expect From My Visit?

When you visit Preston Chiropractic, we take all measures to ensure our patients are comfortable, with minimal pain or irritation with your specific condition. Our skilled physicians and staff go the extra mile to provide proper patient care, creating a welcoming and safe environment. When you visit our office for your bursitis pain, our chiropractors will first go through a thorough physical exam at your comfort level and specific questions related to your experience to isolate the problem correctly. 

Once the problem is isolated, your physician will discuss the appropriate course of action tailored to you and your pain areas. We may use various methods as needed to best suit your specific needs, which will aim to alleviate pressure and inflammation within the affected area, increase your range of motion, and strengthen muscles.

Your physician might also ask questions about your lifestyle and how that might contribute to your bursitis pain. Some lifestyle factors include your overall posture, your daily activity, and how often you’re able to rest. They may also ask about your healthy food choices. All of the above lifestyle factors can directly – and indirectly – affect your bursitis pain without you even realizing it. Not to worry, Preston Chiropractic and Acupuncture is here to guide you towards better lifestyle choices that can minimize pain from bursitis.

How Effective is Chiropractic Therapy? How Long Do Results Last?

We understand that bursitis pain can feel debilitating and can cause unnecessary stress on your body. With chiropractic care, you can minimize and possibly be rid of the pain altogether in only a few weeks, depending on the severity of your condition. Because chiropractic care is a natural, holistic practice, the rate at which your overall improvement increases the opportunity for longer-lasting results. Medications can offer a quick, momentary relief that can lead to dependency without ever fixing the issue. Choosing our chiropractic care can provide quick relief and improve other areas of the body that coincide with your overall health, leading to fewer injuries in the future.

As we age, our bodies require more rest and self-care, but that doesn’t mean we have to give up our lifestyle. With innovative changes and adjustments, Preston Chiropractic can get you back to doing what you enjoy most – pain-free. If you or someone you know suffers from bursitis pain, please call our office to schedule an appointment. 

We look forward to treating you!
