Description

The Bursa is a SAC-like membrane with synovial fluid, as a cushion between the bone and fibrous tissues of muscles and tendons. It simply makes movement of joints by limiting friction. There are 156 bursae in the body-bursitis results when one of them is inflamed. It occurs most frequently in the shoulder.

Bursitis is a repetitive motion injuries, which means that it is usually associated with the overuse of a particular joint. Thus, every movement, which repeated many times a day like a tennis racquet swing, throw a baseball, play an instrument, using a computer, or cutting haircan cause bursitis. On the other hand, there are cases where it appears to be no definable cause.
