Bursitis: Causes, Main Symptoms, and Treatment

Bursitis is a fairly common condition characterized by inflammation of the bursae, small fluid-filled cushions located near the joints that reduce friction and provide a smooth gliding surface. Although bursitis can affect various parts of the body, such as the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, understanding its causes, symptoms, and appropriate treatment is essential for anyone seeking relief from this painful condition.

Main causes of bursitis

Bursitis can be caused by various factors. The most common cause is frequently repeated monotonous movements or overload of the joint, which can irritate the bursa and lead to inflammation. Other causes include:

Identifying the specific cause of bursitis is important for choosing the treatment approach.

Symptoms of bursitis

Bursitis can show up with different symptoms. Most often these are pain, tenderness, swelling, and limited movement in the affected joint. The pain often gets worse with movement or pressure on the bursa. Over time, if bursitis is not treated, it can become a chronic problem that seriously affects quality of life.

There are two types of bursitis: acute and chronic

Acute bursitis develops suddenly, within just a few days; the patient usually wakes up and finds swelling, pain, puffiness, and redness around the joint. As a rule, this happens after heavy exertion or an acute infectious illness. Over the following days the symptoms may intensify and then gradually subside.

Without treatment, the condition may progress to a chronic stage, which develops gradually over several months. The cause may be the acute form of the disease or other inflammatory joint and bone diseases. In the area of the joint there is a rounded, well-defined, soft swelling, and the skin over it does not move freely. A flare-up may occur, with more fluid (exudate) in the joint sac, reduced joint mobility, and scar formation in the joints.

How is bursitis treated?

Treatment of bursitis usually involves a combination of conservative approaches and, in some cases, medication. At first, rest and applying ice to the affected area may help reduce inflammation and ease pain. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be recommended to further reduce discomfort.

In more severe cases of bursitis, or when conservative measures do not bring relief, it is worth seeing a physical therapist. Specially selected physical therapy methods may help improve joint flexibility and strength. In certain situations, a healthcare provider may recommend assistive devices to limit joint movement and support healing.

In cases of acute bursitis that does not respond to other treatments, aspiration may be performed, a procedure that removes excess fluid from the bursa to reduce swelling and pain. Sometimes corticosteroid injections can be given directly into the inflamed bursa for faster relief.

What is bursitis and which symptoms may point to it?

Bursitis is inflammation of a fluid-filled sac (bursa) near a joint. The main symptoms may include pain, swelling, redness, and limited movement around the affected joint.

How is bursitis diagnosed?

Diagnosis includes a physical examination by a doctor and may require additional tests, such as an X-ray, ultrasound, or MRI, to determine the extent of the damage and rule out other conditions.

How is bursitis treated?

Treatment of bursitis may include medication to reduce inflammation and pain, physical therapy, steroid injections, and aspiration to remove excess fluid from the bursa. In severe cases, surgery may be recommended.

Can bursitis be prevented?

Bursitis may be prevented by avoiding injuries and joint overuse, and by using proper technique during exercise and heavy physical work. It is also important to avoid skin infections.

How long does recovery after bursitis treatment take?

Recovery time depends on many factors, including the type of bursitis, the extent of the damage, and individual characteristics. In most cases, after appropriate treatment and rehabilitation, patients gradually notice relief and improved joint function over a period of several weeks to several months.

Бурсит

Проходила лікування бурситу у “ЦСМ”. Від відвідування клініки залишилися лише позитивні враження! Пройшла курс BTL-терапії. Після першого ж сеансу біль почав вщухати, і я відчула полегшення. Після кількох сеансів вже могла обійтися без знеболювального.

Бурсит

Я уже обращался в клинику ЦСМ на улице Василия Порика, когда лечил спортивную травму. В этот раз пришлось вернуться сюда из-за бурсита. Я знаю, что он хорошо лечится, но доставляет немало неприятных ощущений. Я сходил на несколько процедур высокоинтенсивной терапии, после чего боль прошла, уменьшился отек. Спасибо неврологу Евгению Александровичу Ворошилову за грамотное лечение.

рекомендую клинику “ЦСМ” для людей, страдающих проблемами опорно-двигательного аппарата. оказалось, что здесь самое большое отделение физиотерапии в киеве. поэтому в клинику можно обратиться с любой проблемой. я привозил маму лечить артроз, сам раньше еще проходил лечение бурсита. оба получили обслуживание на самом высоком уровне. сотрудники очень вежливые, внимательные, опытные. только лучшие рекомендации от меня и от мамы!
