Understanding Shoulder Bursitis
Shoulder bursitis, a common condition affecting many individuals, occurs when the bursa, a fluid-filled sac that cushions the shoulder joint, becomes inflamed.
This inflammation can lead to pain, tenderness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder.
Causes of Shoulder Bursitis
Several factors can contribute to the development of shoulder bursitis:
- Repetitive Motions: Frequent overhead activities like painting, swimming, or playing sports can irritate the bursa.
- Injury: A sudden impact or fall onto the shoulder can damage the bursa.
- Underlying Conditions: Conditions such as arthritis or tendinitis can increase the risk of bursitis.
The Role of Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is a highly effective treatment for shoulder bursitis, offering a range of techniques to alleviate pain and restore function:
- Manual Therapy: Physical therapists use techniques like massage and joint mobilization to reduce muscle tension and improve joint mobility.
- Therapeutic Exercises: A customized exercise program can strengthen the shoulder muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance overall shoulder function.
Seeking Professional Help
If you are experiencing shoulder pain, it is important to consult with a qualified physiotherapist. They can accurately diagnose your condition and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you recover quickly and effectively.
By combining the expertise of a physiotherapist with the benefits of dry needling, you can take a proactive approach to managing shoulder bursitis and regaining full function of your shoulder joint.
