Bursitis

Bursitis Treatment in Long Branch, NJ

Reduce Inflammation. Restore Comfort. Regain Mobility.

If you’re struggling with joint pain, stiffness, or swelling that worsens with movement, you may be dealing with bursitis—a painful condition caused by inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion your joints. At New Life Chiropractic, we provide natural, effective care plans that help reduce inflammation, ease pain, and restore movement—without medication or injections.


What Is Bursitis?

Bursitis occurs when the bursae become irritated or inflamed, usually due to overuse, repetitive motion, poor posture, injury, or pressure on the joints. Bursae act as cushions between bones, tendons, and muscles, so when they’re inflamed, even simple movements can become painful.

Common areas affected by bursitis include:

  • Shoulders

  • Hips

  • Elbows

  • Knees

  • Heels

Symptoms of Bursitis

  • Localized pain near a joint

  • Swelling or tenderness

  • Stiffness or reduced range of motion

  • Discomfort that worsens with activity or pressure

  • Warmth or redness around the joint (in some cases)

Bursitis can limit your ability to move comfortably and interfere with daily tasks, work, or physical activity. If left untreated, it can lead to chronic pain or compensations that affect other parts of the body.


Our Chiropractic Approach to Bursitis

At New Life Chiropractic, we take a whole-body approach to bursitis care. Instead of just treating the painful joint, we assess how spinal alignment, joint function, muscle balance, and posture may be contributing to the problem.

Your care plan may include:

  • Chiropractic adjustments to restore proper joint alignment and reduce joint stress

  • Soft tissue therapies to release tension and improve circulation around the affected area

  • Exercise therapy to strengthen surrounding muscles and support long-term joint stability

  • Postural and ergonomic coaching to prevent recurring irritation

  • Nutritional support to help reduce inflammation and promote tissue healing

All care is personalized based on your condition, lifestyle, and recovery goals.

Love Dr. Richard’s, Michelle and staff. I have been coming here for almost 2 years and I feel so much better than before, the weekly adjustments help me move better as I try to keep consistent with a workout plan. The fact that I sit in an office for work makes me feel heavy stress and pain in my lower back and neck…
