Bursitis is an inflammation of the bursa, which is a small, fluid-filled sac within your joints. This condition can be painful and cause decreased mobility. Fortunately, chiropractic care can help with bursitis pain relief. At Graybar Chiropractic, we offer a wide variety of treatment modalities to help ease your bursitis pain and get you back to full mobility and comfort.


What Is Chiropractic Care?


Bursitis is a painful condition that can be difficult to deal with. It can limit mobility and cause inflammation in the affected area. Great news: at Graybar Chiropractic we have helped relieve bursitis pain for countless patients who are struggling with the healing and recovery stage! One of the benefits of chiropractic care is that it does not create more pain in the area, and the improvement of circulation that results from chiropractic can stimulate significant healing.


Chiropractic care is a drug-free and non-invasive approach to healing from various medical conditions such as bursitis. It involves the use of spinal manipulation in order to reduce joint restrictions that are causing pain or discomfort. The goal of chiropractic care is to restore strength, flexibility, and mobility to the affected area. This type of care can also help reduce inflammation and improve circulation in the area as well.


At Graybar Chiropractic, however, we aren’t limited to chiropractic care. We offer a wide variety of services for treating bursitis and other conditions such as posture correction, decompression, pro-adjuster, laser therapy, massage therapy, auto accident care, sports injury care, pregnancy care and more. You can trust that our team of experts has the experience needed to provide you with effective treatment for your specific needs and goals.


Benefits of Seeing a Professional Chiropractor


Seeing a professional chiropractor offers several benefits when it comes to treating bursitis pain relief including improved mobility and range of motion due to the reduction of joint restrictions; improved circulation which can help reduce inflammation; increased flexibility; reduced muscle tension; improved posture; improved recovery time from injury or trauma; improved balance; reduced risk of future injuries; and overall better health.

With all these benefits offered by seeing a professional chiropractor for your bursitis pain relief needs, it’s no wonder why so many people choose this route over traditional medical treatments like medications or surgery. Without proper care, bursitis pain can last for weeks, or even months. Chiropractic care, laser therapy, massage therapy, and decompression can all be valuable tools in helping to decrease inflammation, increase blood-flow, and encourage healing.


How Does Chiropractic Care Help Bursitis?


Chiropractic adjustments are one of the most popular forms of treatment for bursitis. During a chiropractic adjustment, our experienced doctors use their hands to gently push, pull, or twist certain joints in order to reduce pain and improve range of motion. Adjustments also help reduce inflammation in the area by improving circulation and increasing blood flow. This helps reduce swelling and stiffness associated with bursitis.

At Graybar Chiropractic, we also offer posture correction services which are designed to correct postural imbalances that can contribute to bursitis flare-ups. By correcting these imbalances, you can improve your overall posture and decrease stress on the joints that may be contributing to your bursitis symptoms. We also provide decompression therapy, which is designed to stretch tight muscles and ligaments in order to reduce pressure on nerve roots (which can lead to pain relief from bursitis-related conditions, such as sciatica or carpal tunnel syndrome).


Laser Therapy for Bursitis


We also offer laser therapy which uses light energy to penetrate deep into tissue layers where it reduces inflammation, increases blood flow, and promotes healing at a cellular level. Laser therapy is much less invasive than traditional treatments such as injections or surgery, so it’s ideal for those who want an alternative method of treating their bursitis-related pain without significant discomfort or downtime.
