Bursitis Pain Treatment

Targeted Pain Relief for Shoulders, Hips, & Knees

Bursitis, a condition caused by inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs, called bursae, near your joints, can lead to severe pain and hinder your ability to enjoy daily activities. At Commonwealth Pain & Spine, finding relief from bursitis is one of our many specialties. Our interventional pain specialists and dual-board certified physicians focus on treating bursitis in the shoulders, hips, elbows, knees, heels, and other areas, helping you find better pain management and improved quality of life!

Who Can Bursitis Affect?

Bursitis can affect all ages but is most common in older adults. While it may clear up on its own, persistent stiffness, swelling, redness near the joint, and aching may require professional treatment. It’s usually caused by repetitive motions or pressure on the bursae surrounding a joint. Examples include:

  • Throwing a baseball or softball
  • Kneeling for long periods
  • Leaning on your elbows

Arthritis, infection, and traumatic injury can also cause bursitis. If self-care doesn't help, talk to our team about how we can diagnose and treat the underlying cause of your symptoms.

How to Find Relief from Bursitis Pain

Everyone's bursitis care plan is unique. Our pain specialists focus on finding the right combination of treatments to suit your health condition and lifestyle. We will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment regimen that may include:

  • Corticosteroid Injections: These injections can reduce inflammation and relieve pain in the affected joint, providing relief for several weeks or months.
  • Physical Therapy and Targeted Exercises: Strengthening the muscles around the affected joint through targeted exercises can prevent future episodes of bursitis and improve overall joint health.
  • Trochanteric Bursa Injections: By delivering corticosteroids directly into the affected joint, these injections can provide pain relief lasting 4-6 weeks, with additional injections extending the relief as needed.

Rest assured, Commonwealth Pain & Spine will explore our toolkit of innovative therapies and treatments to find the best solution for your bursitis pain.
