How We Help Bursitis!
Are you dealing with bursitis? Bursitis occurs when one of the small fluid-filled sacs, called bursae, becomes irritated or inflamed. These sacs help cushion areas where bones, tendons, muscles, and other tissues move near a joint.
Bursitis commonly affects areas such as the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, or heel and may cause pain, tenderness, stiffness, swelling, or discomfort with movement. Depending on the area affected, symptoms can interfere with exercise, work, sleep, and everyday activities.
At Progressive Acupuncture Wellness Center in Lincoln Park, we provide individualized acupuncture care that may help manage pain and discomfort while supporting relaxation, mobility, and the muscles and tissues surrounding the affected joint.
Acupuncture may be incorporated as a complementary approach to help manage discomfort and muscle tension around the affected area. Massage therapy and other supportive approaches may also be considered depending on the location and nature of your symptoms.
Because bursitis can have different causes, your care plan is based on your symptoms, health history, activity level, affected joint, and wellness goals. Our goal is to provide individualized supportive care that helps you move more comfortably and return to everyday activities.

WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING
What Can Happen If Bursitis Is Untreated?
Many cases of bursitis improve with appropriate care and changes to the activities irritating the affected area. However, persistent or recurring bursitis can make movement increasingly uncomfortable and interfere with work, exercise, sleep, and everyday activities.
Persistent bursitis may contribute to:
- Increased pain and tenderness
- Reduced range of motion
- Joint stiffness
- Difficulty with everyday movement
- Changes in activity or movement patterns
- Ongoing irritation of the affected area
- Reduced ability to exercise or participate in activities
- Reduced quality of life
Persistent swelling, significant redness or warmth around a joint, fever, severe pain, or rapidly worsening symptoms should be medically evaluated. These symptoms may indicate an infection or another condition requiring medical treatment.
At Progressive Acupuncture Wellness Center, acupuncture may be incorporated into an individualized wellness plan to help manage discomfort, stiffness, muscle tension, and related symptoms. Schedule a consultation to learn whether acupuncture may be appropriate for your needs.
