5 Ways To Treat Bursitis

Bursitis

Bursitis occurs when the bursae which act as shock absorbers and cushion the impact of pressure and strain between the muscles, bones, joints and other surfaces in the body that constantly rub against each other become inflamed. Every bursa contains a lining of synovial cells which produce a viscous fluid known as the synovial fluid which absorbs the friction of movement and acts as a cushion. Bursitis though an age related problem, can happen to anyone. As one grows older, the tendons lose their elasticity and are less able to tolerate stress and get torn easily.

This condition is mainly caused by overuse or injury to the joint. Repetitive stress due to activities like scrubbing, raking pitching or throwing, aggravates the bursa and it becomes inflamed and very painful. The joint feels swollen and tender and even the slightest pressure on it leads to excruciating pain. Rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and thyroid disorders can also lead to bursitis. The most commonly affected joints are the knees, shoulders, hip, elbow and the Achilles tendon.
