Bursitis Treatment

What is Bursitis?

Bursitis is a painful condition that occurs when the bursae—small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the bones, tendons, and muscles near your joints—become inflamed. This inflammation typically results from repetitive motion or prolonged pressure on a joint and most commonly affects the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, or heel.

At Kamakshi Orthopedics, located in Chaitanyapuri, Dilsukhnagar, Hyderabad, we offer advanced care for bursitis with a comprehensive focus on pain relief, joint protection, and long-term recovery. Led by Dr. Ashwin Reddy, our team treats both acute and chronic bursitis with personalized, evidence-based approaches.

Bursitis symptoms can vary depending on the affected area but commonly include:
Swelling and redness around the joint
Stiffness or difficulty moving the affected joint
Pain that worsens with pressure or movement
Warmth around the inflamed area

In some cases, especially if the bursa is infected (septic bursitis), fever or pus formation may also occur.

Common Causes and Risk Factors

You may be at risk of developing bursitis due to:

Repetitive motions or overuse (e.g., frequent kneeling, lifting, throwing)
Prolonged pressure on a joint (e.g., leaning on elbows, sitting on hard surfaces)
Sudden injury or trauma to a joint
Inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or gout
Aging and joint degeneration
Infections (in cases of septic bursitis)

Athletes, construction workers, and people with physically demanding jobs are more prone to developing bursitis.
