BURSITIS: CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENTS
We all have hundreds of bursae in our bodies, whose function is to reduce friction between two surfaces moving in different directions. The bursa is found at the points where muscles and tendons slide over bones, and without them, movement would be painful. Bursitis is the inflammation of a bursa that comes from muscles or tendons straining at the wrong time, too hard or from the wrong angle. This is commonly seen in repetitive movements, but can occur through minor impact or sudden, more serious injury.
The most common locations for bursitis are in the shoulder, elbow and hip. But you can also get bursitis of the knee, heel and the base of the big toe. Bursitis often occurs near joints that perform frequent repetitive motions.
CAUZE
The most common causes of bursitis are repetitive movements or positions that put pressure on the bursa around a joint. Examples include repetitive lifting, leaning on your elbows for long periods, kneeling extensively for tasks such as mopping the carpet or floors.
Other causes include injury or trauma to the affected area, inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout and infection.
SIMPTOME
Our highly skilled specialists will diagnose bursitis on physical examination. The findings of bursitis include pain in the overlying movement of the muscles and tendons and swelling of the area involved.
Bursitis is common in adults, especially those over 40. The elbow, shoulder, hip, knee and Achilles tendon are just some of the common areas often affected by bursitis.
If you have bursitis, the affected joint may become painful or stiff, especially when you press on it, and the area may become swollen and red.
TREATMENT
Physiotherapists will offer expert advice on ways to protect the area, including bandaging or a immobilizing rod around the joint until the swelling subsides. Relative rest and icing the affected area may help in the initial stages. Once the inflammation has reduced, we can help ensure that bursitis doesn’t keep coming back.
The right treatment techniques can help you avoid Bursitis. Our highly trained specialists will design an individualized program to meet all of your needs, helping to prevent recurrence of this painful condition. Reduced activity is recommended until inflammation has set in.
OUR EXPERTISE
Bursitis usually results from repetitive motion or prolonged and excessive pressure. It can also occur following a traumatic injury, such as after a car accident or fall. The bursa, which has been functioning normally up to that point, now begins to develop inflammation and bursitis results. Once the bursa is inflamed, normal movements and activities can become painful.
Our specialist, Mr. Tuncay Ozturk, has the expertise to diagnose and treat bursitis, as well as to help you manage other systemic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, which can also lead to bursitis. We’ll help you improve your strength which in turn will prevent recurrence of this condition.
