Bursitis and Tendonitis Treatment in Montgomery and Willis
Joint pain, stiffness, or limited mobility are common for adults over 40 with careers or hobbies that call for persistent repetitive motion. If you are facing these symptoms, you might be dealing with bursitis or tendonitis. But you don't have to face it alone.
Relief starts at Better Care Chiropractic & Physical Therapy. We offer bursitis and tendonitis treatment in Montgomery and Willis, helping you recover faster, move better, and get back to doing the everyday activities you enjoy—without the pain.
Understanding Bursitis and Tendonitis
Bursitis and tendonitis are common conditions among older adults, those with weak muscles, and those with limited flexibility. Both involve inflammation of soft tissues but affect different areas.
- Bursitis is the inflammation of the bursae or the fluid sack that cushions bones, tendons, and muscles.
- Tendonitis is the inflammation of the tendons, which connect muscles to bones.
Although different, both conditions often result from similar root causes:
- Overuse injuries from sports or work
- Poor posture or biomechanics
- Direct trauma or joint stress
Symptoms of Bursitis and Tendonitis
Bursitis and tendonitis share similar symptoms. However, manifestations can vary per person. Common symptoms include:
- Discomfort when moving or applying pressure
- Tenderness, warmth, and swelling around joints
- Limited range of motion and a sense of weakness
Left untreated, these symptoms may lead to chronic pain and joint degeneration, which may require surgery to address.
Effective Bursitis and Tendonitis Care at Better Care Chiropractic & Physical Therapy
Chiropractic Care
Mechanical dysfunction in the spine or other joints can place excessive stress on the bursae or tendons. Chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment, decrease inflammation, support proper posture, and restore function.
Physical Therapy
Shoulder injuries can result in bursitis, often causing pain along the outer side or tip of the shoulder. A licensed physical therapist in our Montgomery and Willis clinic will customize rehabilitation exercises to restore strength and flexibility and promote lasting relief.
Management Injections
Our treatment protocols include pain management injections for severe or persistent tendonitis pain. In tendonitis treatment, we utilize them to provide significant pain relief and reduce inflammation, particularly when other conservative measures are insufficient.
Regenerative Medicine
Stem cell therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that has shown promising potential for long-term bursitis pain relief. By leveraging the body's natural healing abilities, this non-surgical treatment repairs damaged tissue and improves joint function.

FAQs
Bursitis is the inflammation of the cushioning sacs between bones and tendons, while tendonitis is the inflammation of a tendon, which connects muscles to bones.
Bursitis and tendonitis can develop gradually from repetitive strain or suddenly from acute injuries or trauma, often affecting the shoulder, elbow, knee, wrist, hip, and ankle.
Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive treatment for bursitis and tendonitis, effectively and safely relieving pain, reducing inflammation, and restoring joint movement.
As we age, healing processes can naturally take longer, even with the aid of joint medicine. Recovery from bursitis or tendonitis typically requires several weeks and can vary based on your overall health and the treatment plan. Adhering closely to your prescribed treatment plan is essential for full and effective recovery.
Pain management injections are a minimally invasive treatment for joint inflammation. They deliver medication directly to the affected area, offering targeted relief from pain and inflammation with quick results and minimal recovery time.
