Tendinopathy and Bursitis Treatment
BioHealth Pain Management Specialists
Tendinopathy and bursitis can cause persistent pain, tenderness, and limited movement near a joint. BioHealth Pain Management provides personalized treatment to reduce discomfort, restore mobility, and support a safe return to everyday activities.
What Are Tendinopathy and Bursitis?
Tendinopathy affects a tendon, the strong tissue connecting muscle to bone. It often develops because of repetitive stress, overuse, injury, or age-related changes.
Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa, a small fluid-filled sac that cushions bones, tendons, and muscles near a joint.
Common symptoms include:
- Pain near a joint
- Tenderness or swelling
- Stiffness and limited movement
- Pain that worsens with activity
- Weakness in the affected area
- Discomfort when lying on or pressing the joint
