Bursitis — inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints — causes localized pain, swelling, and tenderness. Dr. Bhakta provides targeted bursa injections for persistent bursitis.
Bursae are small, fluid-filled sacs that provide cushioning between bones, tendons, and muscles near joints. When a bursa becomes inflamed (bursitis), it can cause significant localized pain and tenderness. The most commonly affected areas are the shoulder (subacromial bursitis), hip (trochanteric bursitis), knee (prepatellar bursitis), and elbow (olecranon bursitis).
Dr. Bhakta creates an individualized plan based on your specific diagnosis and symptoms.
