What is Bursitis?
And why is your bursitis not getting better?
Bursitis is a painful condition that affects the small, fluid-filled sacs — called bursae.
These fluid filled sacs exist to cushion the bones, tendons and muscles near your joints.
Bursitis occurs when bursae become inflamed. The inflammation often causes pain and swelling in the area.
The most common locations for bursitis are in the:
-
- shoulder- sub-acromial bursitis
- elbow – olecranon bursitis
- hip – trochanteric bursitis
- knee suprapatellar bursitis

Step 1 – Remove Your Pain
This step begins with accurate diagnosis to make sure we target what is causing the pain.
Muscle imbalances and a condition called tendinopathy is often present alongside bursitis but has often been missed, preventing full resolution of your pain.
Treatment often involves:
- Massage
- Gentle mobilisation techniques
- Isometric exercises
Step 2. Bursitis Treatment – Shockwave Therapy
Your treatment will be tailored to your specific injury and circumstances. It may include:
• Shockwave therapy
• Osteopathy treatment
• Medical Acupuncture

Our 3rd step is vital to make sure that you have the strength in the muscles around the relevant joint to get back to doing the things you love without pain or restriction.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
Effective Treatment For Bursitis Pain and Tendinopathy
Acoustic waves are generated by the Shockwave trigger. These have biological effects which lead to:
- Faster and long-term healing.
- Regeneration of the tissue.
Shockwave Therapy can help to:
- Reverse chronic inflammation that is very common in bursitis and tendon injuries.
- Stimulate collagen production, a vital substance in natural tissue repair.
- Dissolve calcium fibroblasts which are often part of the problem in ongoing tendon injuries and bursitis pain.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Every bursitis injury is different and each treatment program is tailored to suit your specific circumstances and goals.
The Bursitis Program is a course of treatment. In the vast majority of cases, significant reduction in pain and improvement in joint function is seen after just 4 sessions.
