Bursitis — inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion your joints — can cause significant pain and limit mobility in everyday activities. At Interventional Pain Consultants, we offer advanced, non-surgical treatments to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and restore function so you can return to the activities you love.
Our board-certified physicians take a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating bursitis. Using advanced imaging and diagnostic techniques, we identify the specific inflamed bursae and develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses the root cause of your pain — not just the symptoms.
Whether your bursitis affects your shoulder, hip, knee, or elbow, we combine evidence-based interventional procedures with rehabilitative therapies to provide lasting relief and help prevent recurrence. Our goal is to get you back to pain-free movement without surgery.
APPOINTMENTS
Corticosteroid injections are one of the most effective treatments for bursitis, delivering powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly to the inflamed bursa. This targeted approach provides rapid pain relief and reduces swelling, often within 24 to 48 hours of treatment.
At Interventional Pain Consultants, our physicians use ultrasound guidance to ensure precise placement of the medication into the affected bursa — whether in the shoulder, hip, knee, or elbow. This accuracy maximizes the therapeutic effect while minimizing discomfort and risk.
A single corticosteroid injection can provide weeks to months of relief, allowing you to engage more fully in physical therapy and daily activities. Our team will determine the appropriate frequency and dosage based on your specific condition and medical history.
LEARN MOREPlatelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment that harnesses your body's own healing factors to repair damaged tissues, including inflamed or injured bursae. A sample of your blood is processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors, then injected into the affected area.
PRP not only reduces inflammation but also promotes tissue healing and regeneration, addressing the underlying causes of bursitis rather than just masking symptoms. This makes it an excellent option for chronic or recurrent bursitis that has not responded to other treatments.
Our affiliated specialists at Interventional Pain Consultants are trained in the latest PRP techniques and will develop a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve lasting relief and improved joint function.
LEARN MOREPhysical therapy is a cornerstone of bursitis treatment, focusing on strengthening the muscles surrounding the affected joint, improving flexibility, and correcting movement patterns that may contribute to bursal irritation. A structured therapy program can prevent future flare-ups and promote long-term joint health.
At Interventional Pain Consultants, we work closely with affiliated physical therapists to coordinate care that complements your interventional treatments. Your rehabilitation plan may include stretching exercises, strengthening routines, manual therapy, and activity modification guidance.
By combining physical therapy with our advanced interventional procedures, we provide a comprehensive approach that addresses both the symptoms and root causes of your bursitis, helping you return to pain-free activity more quickly and safely.
LEARN MOREWhen a bursa becomes significantly swollen with excess fluid, ultrasound-guided aspiration offers immediate relief by draining the fluid and reducing pressure on surrounding tissues. This minimally invasive procedure is performed in-office using real-time imaging for precise needle placement.
Bursa aspiration not only relieves pain and pressure but also allows the fluid to be analyzed to rule out infection or other underlying conditions. Following aspiration, a corticosteroid injection may be administered to prevent fluid re-accumulation and reduce inflammation.
Our experienced team at Interventional Pain Consultants performs this procedure with a focus on patient comfort and safety, providing rapid symptom relief and a clear path toward recovery.
LEARN MOREFor many patients, a carefully tailored medication regimen can effectively manage bursitis pain and inflammation. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are often the first line of defense, reducing both pain and swelling associated with acute bursitis flare-ups.
For more persistent cases, our physicians may recommend short-term use of prescription-strength anti-inflammatories or muscle relaxants to break the pain cycle and allow healing to begin. All medication plans are closely monitored and adjusted based on your response and any underlying health considerations.
At Interventional Pain Consultants, medication management is always integrated with our broader treatment approach — including injections, regenerative medicine, and physical therapy — to provide comprehensive, personalized care that minimizes medication dependence while maximizing relief.
