Treat Bursitis with Vitamins and Over the Counter Products

Bursitis is primarily caused by excessive use or abuse of the small enclosed sac containing the lubricating fluid between muscles, tendons and movable joints that must slide over each other. The area involved becomes painful, tender, and if it is close to the skin surface hot and swollen. Continued movement of the any tendons and muscles over the inflamed bursa causes the condition to become worse. There are approximately 160 of the bursea sacs throughout the human body.

Repetitive movement such as a janitor bending their elbows frequently and repetitively when using a vacuum for extended period of time or someone who plays baseball and throws a ball too many times can lead to Bursitis. This type of Bursitis is call olecranon bursitis. It may also be caused by prolonged pressure on a joint such as someone who rests on their elbows. Dr. Emanuel Josephson of New York said that pressures on the arm and shoulder during sleep can lead to bursitis.

Another cause of Bursitis can be a traumatic injury to a joint such as after an auto mobile accident or after an injury following a sporting event. The injury usually causes swelling within the bursa sacs and inflammation develops making movement painful.

Symptoms of Bursitis can consists of a slight stiffness in a joint, pain with any movement of the joint, loss of mobility, swelling and redness of the affected area, and persistent pain, and tenderness.

The most common complaint occurs in the shoulder joint and in the elbow but can occur in any joint such as the wrist, ankle, knee, hips, and fingers. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis are susceptible to developing bursitis.

Rutin acts synergistically with Vitamin C to help maintain a healthy immune system.

Glucosamine Plus provides cartilage nutrition for healthy joints and is an anit-inflammatory. Promotes flexible and healthy joints by maintaining the lubrication levels in the joint area.

Chondroitin Complex works together with Glucosamine to block the action of cartilage-damaging enzymes and promotes the healthy flow of water and nutrients into cartilage-producing cells.

M.S.M maintains the development of the body’s protein by forming flexible disulfide bonds between certain amino acids and in maintaining the strength of connective tissue. This allows water and nutrients to flow freely into cells and allows toxins to flow freely out of the cells. M.S.M increases athletic stamina and helps eliminate muscle soreness. M.S.M is a natural supplement that is getting a lot of attention due to its role in tissue healing at the cellular level. It is a natural organic sulfur that comes from rain fall and is found naturally in the human body.

Aspirin and Ibuprofen are considered anti-inflammatory medications and may be helpful in the treatment of Bursitis. They will also help with the pain associated with the inflammation of the bursitis sacs.
