Condition

Bursitis

Bursitis occurs when the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that provide cushioning between bones, tendons, and muscles, become inflamed. This condition most commonly affects the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee, though it can develop in any joint. Bursitis is often caused by repetitive motions or positions that put pressure on the bursae, such as repeated overhead reaching, prolonged kneeling, or extensive use of a joint. It can also result from a sudden injury, infection, or conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or gout. At Spinal Interventions, we offer targeted treatments including image-guided injections to reduce inflammation and pain, helping patients return to their daily activities with improved comfort and mobility.
