Bursitis

 In Uncategorized

We’ve all heard of it, what is it? A bursa is like a little water balloon that cushions between 2 structures in your body, most commonly at a spot where a muscle rubs over a bone. Sometimes these little buggers get inflamed and painful, usually for no known reason. The most common spot I see this happen is at the hip. Technically its called trochanteric bursitis. The 2 symptoms that make me suspect bursitis are:

  1.  It hurts to sleep on that side and
  2. The pain is localized to a fairly small spot on the side of the hip. If you let your hands hang naturally by your sides, the area would be up about 6 inches or so from the tip of your middle finger. You’ll feel where the “meat” is thin there and you can feel a bone. With bursitis, the tender spot will be just above, just in front, or just behind that bone.

Acupuncture is fantastic for bursitis! Usually 1 or 2 treatments is all that is needed to fix the bursitis and get you out of pain. Do you know someone with this type of pain? Call the office now.

    I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping
    maybe you would have some experience with something like this.
