Bursitis in Hyderabad

The bursa is a small sac filled with lubricating fluid, located between tissues such as bone, muscle, tendons, and skin. Bursae help to decrease friction, rubbing and irritation and help your joints move with ease.

Bursitis is the inflammation or irritation of the bursa.

Bursae are located throughout the body. However, certain joints are more subject to increased pressure and repetitive use, making bursitis more likely to develop in them. These joints include the shoulders, elbows, knees, and feet. Bursae near the hip joint, particularly those on the outer side of the hip, and those in the buttocks (subjected to pressure from sitting) are also prone to bursitis. Dr. G. Ram Mohan is the best bursitis specialist in Himayatnagar for joint pain treatment hospitals in Himayatnagar

Bursitis is most often caused by repetitive motions (i.e. overuse); or direct, minor impact on the area (such as from such activities as repeated bumping or prolonged pressure from kneeling). Less often, bursitis is caused from a sudden, more serious injury.

• Play or work activities that cause overuse or injury to the joint areas, for example gardening, carpentry, shoveling, painting, scrubbing
• Sports (tennis, golf, throwing and pitching, etc.)
• Incorrect posture injury
• Stress on the soft tissues from an abnormal or poorly positioned joint or bone (such as leg length differences or arthritis in a joint)
