Bursitis, better known as a working man’s disease, is a very common and widely spread painful condition that can limit the functionality of a joint it affects. The most common cause is the inflammation or irritation of the bursa caused by the joint overuse. Tennis elbow is the best-known example. The fact that there are over 150 bursae in a human body clearly shows how widespread bursitis can be.

When it comes to treating bursitis, the best approach would be to rest the joint until the bursa recovers. However, since it is usually associated with particular professions, those suffering from this condition cannot afford such long pauses. This is where chiropractic care comes to rescue.

Chiropractic care has shown tremendous success in treating symptoms of bursitis, particularly in pain relief and decreasing the inflammation. Certain adjustments of the spine and individual joints affected by the bursa inflammation have been very effective in relieving the extra pressure the particular bursae is regularly exposed to. These adjustments have an immediate effect on their state and also prevent further degradation of the joints.
