Chiropractic spinal adjustments can help to alleviate both the direct and indirect interference of the nervous system and restore normal nerve supply to the joints, organs, and tissues.

All joints have sacs filled with fluid that act as lubricated protection to spots where the tendons rub against any bony protrusion. When these sacs become inflamed, the result is the painful onset of bursitis.

While any joint may develop bursitis, the most common joints affected are the shoulder, elbow, knee, hip and foot. Bursitis may be acute or chronic. It starts with localized pain and with immobility in various ranges of motion.

The causes of this inflammation may be trauma, acute or chronic infection, rheumatoid arthritis or gout. These conditions are almost always associated with a direct or indirect disturbed physiology which is normally maintained and controlled by the nervous system. Direct interference can be any interference to the nerve supply to a joint, like a shoulder. Indirect interference is created when the body’s physiology is disturbed due to an insufficient nerve supply from the brain and spinal cord to organs involved in maintaining the fluid in the bursa sac.

Chiropractic spinal adjustments can help to alleviate both the direct and indirect interference of the nervous system and restore normal nerve supply to the joints, organs, and tissues.

Healing bursitis can be difficult. Motion causes the bursa to work, so any motion is potential for more inflammation and pain. The key is to reduce the inflammation. You can do that through icing (15-20 minutes at a time) and rest. For diet, it may sound crazy but a half a fresh pineapple a day for 6 six days reduces inflammation like a champ. Also, Omega 3 supplements really help.

The other thing you have to address is why you developed the bursitis. If a joint is subluxated or you have bad posture you need to be adjusted to reduce the amount of pressure on the bursa. Likewise, changing how your mechanics or the amount of resistance can make a big difference.
