What is Bursitis?

Bursitis occurs when the bursae, which act as cushions between bones, tendons, and muscles, become irritated or inflamed. This can be due to repetitive motion, injury, or pressure on the joints, and it often affects areas like the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees. Early intervention is key to preventing further joint damage and chronic pain.
