Bursitis treatment in Guanajuato

When a joint hurts, becomes inflamed, and is bothersome when moving or bearing weight, it may be bursitis, a frequent cause of joint pain that is worth having reviewed.

Bursitis is inflammation of the synovial bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion and reduce friction around joints such as the shoulder, the elbow, the hip, or the knee.

Common causes: repetitive movements, prolonged support on an area, overload and, in some cases, injuries or inflammatory processes.

Common symptoms:

• Pain that increases with movement or pressure.
• Swelling and tenderness in the affected joint.

Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist or trauma surgeon evaluates the joint and the physical therapist supports the rehabilitation. If the discomfort persists or limits your movements, it is advisable to discuss it with a professional who can guide the management.
