Bursitis Pain Causing You Sleepless Nights? Are you Restricted By Inflammation and Swelling? Thermomedic Health Fact File What Is Bursitis? Bursitis is inflammation of the small, protective sacs, called bursae, found between two neighbouring structures such as muscles, tendons and bones. A bursa decreases friction by assisting movement of the tendon over a bony surface. Although bursae are located outside the joint itself, inflammation in these soft tissues can be mistaken for arthritis. However, strictly speaking, arthritis involves inflammation within the joints, while bursitis is defined as the inflammation outside the joint. While bursitis does not cause joint deformity it causes pain and restricts movement. Our bodies contain many bursae, however, the shoulder, elbow, knee and heel are most commonly affected by bursitis. The most common causes are injury, repeated pressure or overuse. Health disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout and diabetes may also lead to the development of bursitis. What Are The Symptoms Of Bursitis? The symptoms of bursitis may include localised pain, particularly at night, swelling, increased warmth, stiffness and redness of the skin. Excessive warmth, redness, pain and swelling in the affected areas can indicate infection. The inflammation and swelling associated with bursitis can strike quickly, within hours or days. When caused by an injury, bursitis will usually lessen after several days or weeks. However, if bursitis is caused by excessive or constant use, the inflammation may continue until the injured part is allowed to rest. What Safe Effective Treatments Will Help Relieve Bursitis Pain? Treatment, depending upon the cause of the bursitis, aims to alleviate the symptoms and assist the healing process. Traditionally these may include prescription drugs and intensive physiotherapy. Medication and injections of corticosteroids can also be prescribed. The side effects from these medications can, however, exacerbate the distress caused by the bursitis itself. For this reason, many sufferers of bursitis seek natural, non-toxic far infrared therapy from Thermomedic to effectively relieve their pain and inflammation.
