Typical Symptoms:
Common Causes:
By identifying the mechanical or repetitive stress causing bursitis, we implement targeted exercises, activity modification, and in some cases, modalities like ultrasound to reduce inflammation. We also focus on biomechanical corrections to prevent recurrence. At Be On The Move, located in Boynton Beach, Boca Raton, Lake Worth, and Wellington, we address bursitis in various joints—from the shoulder (subacromial bursitis) to the hip (trochanteric bursitis). Early interventions focus on relieving pressure on the affected bursa, often through rest or protected movements. As you improve, we guide you through progressive strengthening and stretching, ensuring that once you resume normal activities or sports, the underlying causes—like poor posture or excessive friction—no longer put the bursa at risk.

Key Benefits:
Mild bursitis can resolve within weeks, while chronic cases may require more prolonged therapy and lifestyle adjustments. During follow-up appointments, we’ll reassess any lingering inflammation and refine your exercise program. By sticking to recommended activity modifications and practicing proper movement mechanics, you can often return to normal function without recurrent flare-ups.
Do I need a cortisone injection?
Some patients benefit from injections, but a solid therapy program addresses the root cause for lasting relief.
