ELBOW BURSITIS PAIN CAUSES AND TREATMENT

Dec 15th 2019

What is elbow bursitis?

Bursae are small fluid-filled sacs located around each joint in the body. Their function is to cushion and lubricate the joints, allowing them to move smoothly. The Olecranon bursa is the main bursa of the elbow joint.

What causes elbow bursitis?

Elbow bursitis is most commonly caused by direct force or repetitive stress. It can also be injured from a fall. When the bursa is hit, it becomes inflamed, causing pain and limiting motion in the joint.

What is the best way to treat elbow bursitis?

Most doctors will prescribe the R.I.C.E. protocol following a biceps or triceps strain; rest, ice, compression, and elevation. A compression sleeve improves blood flow to the muscle, speeding recovery and relieving pain.

Testimonials

I recently bought a knee brace from Bioskin. The service was amazing. Kelly was pleasant, helpful, and very patient. She wanted to make sure I got the best brace that would work for me. She never made me feel rushed. She wasn't sure I had the best brace and she consulted with Angela. Angela was knowledgeable, informative, and also very patient. The brace was helpful, but unfortunately it was too tight after working all night. They exchanged it the following day without any hassle. I highly recommend Bioskin and would definitely use them again if needed.

Staff very helpful and we had to call a head to see what time they closed because we had drive across town and because it was almost 4pm we called them at 3:40pm and my daughter really needed a hand brace because she just found out she is a high risk pregnancy and has pregnancy induced carpal tunnel so she really needed a brace so we called and they said they closed at 4pm but because we had to drive there they stayed open till we got there and she was able to get her brace. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO HELPFUL AND KIND.

Went with wife for her bone-on-bone knee issues. Angela and Terri were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and so nice. They identified two that best fit my wife's description of issues and after fitting them, she chose the one that was best for her. They stand behind their products...if you need a brace, this is the place.
