Understanding Tendonitis and Bursitis?

Tendonitis is the inflammation of a tendon, the tissue that connects muscle to bone. Bursitis involves inflammation of the bursa, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion and reduce friction around joints. These conditions commonly develop from overuse, repetitive motion, or aging, especially in the shoulder, elbow, hip, or knee.

Common Symptoms:

• Localized pain that worsens with movement

• Swelling or warmth near the affected area

• Stiffness, especially after rest

• Tenderness with pressure or activity

Treatment Options:
Most cases of tendonitis and bursitis improve with rest, physical therapy, activity modification, and anti-inflammatory medications. For persistent pain, corticosteroid injections, ultrasound-guided treatments, or minimally invasive tendon procedures may be offered.
