FAQ's For Bursitis Treatment
What is bursitis and what causes it?
Bursitis is the inflammation of the bursa, a small fluid-filled sac that cushions bones, tendons, and muscles. It’s commonly caused by repetitive motion, injury, or underlying conditions like arthritis. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and limited movement.
How is bursitis diagnosed?
Bursitis is diagnosed through a physical examination and medical history review. Imaging tests like X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound may be used to rule out other conditions and confirm the diagnosis. Your podiatrist will assess symptoms and recommend a course of treatment suited to you.
What treatment options are available for bursitis?
Treatment for bursitis includes rest, ice application, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy. In severe cases, corticosteroid injections or aspiration (draining fluid) may be necessary. Individual treatment plans aim to reduce pain and the chance of future flare-ups.
How long does it take to recover from bursitis?
Recovery time for bursitis varies based on severity and treatment adherence. Mild cases may resolve in a few weeks with proper care, while chronic or severe cases may take several months. Following your podiatrist’s recommendations is important to support your recovery.
Can bursitis be prevented?
Yes, bursitis can often be prevented by avoiding repetitive motions, using proper techniques during activities, and wearing supportive footwear. Regular stretching and strengthening exercises can also help. Our podiatrists provide personalised advice to minimise the risk of future bursitis.
