Arthritis Bursitis

Arthritis Bursitis is the inflammation or irritation of the bursa (a small sac filled with a lubricating and cushioning fluid) that is anatomically between where a bone and  muscle meet.  It is surrounded by tendons and ligaments that help keep the bones and muscles connected and in proper working order.  The major job of the bursa is to cushion the impact of stresses (such as jumping, pounding, or placing weight on an extended joint structure such as the knee when we are standing up or the arm if we are pushing against a wall.  It helps decrease the results of friction that happen when we use our joints extensively.  As we age (particularly 40+), our tissues and bodily structures (especially joints) tend to repair themselves at a slower level and depending on our lifestyle and diet, may not repair themselves adequately – the result is a form of joint arthritis called Bursitis.

Arthritis is a contributing factor because of the inflammation going on around the joint itself, which also increases the pain in the bursa.  It is believed to be caused by performing excessive repetitive type movements.  For instance, a person playing tennis or typing on a computer (carpal tunnel syndrome) a form of bursitis, may eventually develop that type of irritation of the joint socket because of the repetitive movements over the same joint socket.  It can also occur from an injury or trauma to the socket or by having too much weight placed on the joint socket, irritating or rupturing the bursa.  It is most commonly noticed in the Achilles Tendon, Knees, Hips, Elbows and Shoulders.  If a shoulder gets too stiff, it is commonly called “frozen shoulder” and is also a condition of bursitis and arthritis.  There are a lot of really great arthritis remedies and arthritis supplements that really work for complete and lasting arthritis pain relief.

The Best Natural Arthritis Treatment for Bursitis:

• Evaluate when you first notice it, and if you are using a repetitive motion, try to adjust the angle or your activity, or stop, rest and massage the affected joint.
• Strengthen the muscles around that joint (if it is the elbow, do some basic dumbbell curls)
• Incorporate some joint friendly arthritis exercises (like tai-chi, qi-gong or yoga)
• Begin incorporating an anti-inflammatory arthritis diet, and cut back on the items that cause inflammation and pain
• Include Omega-3 oils (preferably from flax or plant sources, as animal sources are highly acidic)
• Add warming spices (anti-inflammatory) to your meals if you enjoy them (curry, tumeric, ginger, garlic, cayenne)
• Drink plenty of fluids (this will help hydrate the joint, and keep it operating smoothly)
• Get a good magnetic wrap or brace (the highest gauss possible – around 800 or more and neodymium type)
• Alternate between hot and cold packs on the joint.  About 10 minutes each, cycle a few times between hot and cold
• Take arthritis supplements (glucosamine, Hyaluronic acid, SAM-e, Boswellin)
• Try some homeopathic cures as well
• Lower your overall stress level (watch a comedy or even sing around the house, it really does work)

This will most definitely give you some great arthritis help and get you on your road to complete and lasting recovery from arthritis bursitis.  Start where you are at, there is no race.  Sometimes the slower the better, because you will not be in a stressful state, adding more pressure to do things quickly.  Go at your own body’s pace and you will be helping others, because they will be asking what it is that you did to recover.

A key to experiencing a full recovery from arthritis begins with giving your body the nutrition and supplementation it needs to rebuild your joints from the inside out.  For arthritis bursitis, as for most joint degenerative conditions, I recommend taking JointKote to rebuild your joints, and using a capsaicin cream (which you massage into the affected joint are) to bring immediate pain relief to the aching joint, and also draw the joint relief ingredients directly to the joint for repair and inflammation reduction.  Click on the JointKote bottle below to begin the healing process and relieve pain, inflammation and swelling now.
