Bursitis
A bursa is a fluid-filled sac lined with special cells which secrete a fluid rich in collagen and protein. About 160 bursae are found throughout the body, which act as cushions and lubricant to reduce friction between tissues, such as between tendons and bones in the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, and ankle. Inflammation of a bursa is referred to as bursitis.
The most common causes of bursitis are repetitive motions (for example, repeated throwing of a ball), trauma (extensive kneeling), infection, and preexisting rheumatoid conditions. Common symptom of bursitis include pain and loss of motion in inflammed area.
LLLT can effectively control inflammation, reduce swelling and pain, help to restore normal function.
