Bursitis Treatment | Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic

Bursitis (Hip, Shoulder, Knee)

Are you experiencing pain, swelling, or stiffness in your hips, shoulders, or knees? These symptoms could be signs of Bursitis, a condition caused by inflammation of the bursae—the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joints. At Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic, we provide effective treatments to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and restore function to your joints, helping you get back to your active lifestyle.

What Is Bursitis and What Causes It?

Bursitis occurs when the bursae, the small, fluid-filled sacs that help reduce friction and cushion the bones, tendons, and muscles near the joints, become inflamed. This inflammation can cause pain, swelling, and tenderness in the affected joint. The condition is most common in the shoulder, hip, and knee.

Common causes of bursitis include:

Repetitive motion or overuse of a joint, such as lifting, kneeling, or throwing
Injury or trauma to the joint
Arthritis, which can increase the risk of inflammation in the bursae
Infection in the bursa (rare but possible)

The pain from bursitis can vary from mild discomfort to severe, sharp pain that limits your ability to move the affected joint. Knee bursitis, shoulder bursitis, and hip bursitis are the most common forms of the condition.

How We Help With Chiropractic Care And Physiotherapy

At Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic, we offer a combined approach to treating Bursitis through chiropractic care and physiotherapy. Our focus is to reduce pain, improve joint function, and promote healing through natural, non-invasive treatments.

Chiropractic care involves gentle spinal and joint adjustments that help correct misalignments and reduce stress on the affected joint. By realigning the joints, we can reduce inflammation and improve the body's ability to heal naturally.

Physiotherapy focuses on exercises and stretches to increase flexibility, strengthen muscles around the joint, and improve range of motion. We will create a personalised plan to reduce swelling and help you regain full movement in your hip, shoulder, or knee.

Combining chiropractic care and physiotherapy provides the most comprehensive solution for Bursitis relief. While chiropractic adjustments address the alignment of the spine and joints, physiotherapy focuses on strengthening and stretching the muscles around the affected joint to prevent further injury and improve movement.
