Contact UsWhat Is Bursitis?
Fluid-filled sacs surrounding the joints called bursae act as a shock absorber of sorts and cushion for bones, muscles, and tendons. When these sacs become inflamed, bursitis develops and causes significant pain and discomfort. Most prevalent in the hip, shoulder, elbow, and knee, bursitis may resolve on its own by resting. However, in more severe cases, treatment may be needed to allow you to complete everyday activities.
At Pain Zero, our team offers various treatment options for alleviating pain, swelling, or stiffness. After a diagnostic assessment of bursitis, our pain care specialists will create a treatment plan that specifically meets your needs and concerns. Learn more about bursitis treatments by contacting one of our Central Ohio facilities to schedule an initial consultation with our experienced pain care team.
What Are Treatment Options for Bursitis?
Activities that may trigger bursitis include aging, jobs, or hobbies that involve repetitive tasks, such as sports, manual labor, or music. Conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, gout, or thyroid disease can also trigger bursitis. After conducting a physical exam, evaluating your medical history, and performing a few imaging tests and a blood test for infection, our pain care doctors will be able to provide more accurate treatment options for your specific case of bursitis.
Typically, conservative methods, such as rest, ice, and over-the-counter pain medications, are primary treatments for bursitis. If a patient needs more advanced methods, then our specialists may suggest prescription-strength medication, physical therapy, or injection therapy. In more severe cases of the condition, surgery may be necessary to drain the inflamed sac.
Following any treatment, our Pain Zero team will let you know exactly what to expect and determine if any follow-up treatments will be necessary to help maintain your results.

This is my first visit it went pretty good I felt relaxed with them and it seemed like he truly really wanted to help me to get my pain in order and I'm looking forward to my next visit till I see I can see where we go next on handling my pain shook my hand very polite very good doctor
Dr T is very knowledgeable and positive. HIs concern for each and every patient is very evident. Also all the people at pain zero work hard to keep schedules in order. It is very rare that I have to wait past my scheduled time.
I had my nerve stimulator put in permanent on March 31. At first it was rough because they cut you open. My back felt so much better after the pain wore off after the third day. I would recommend it to all who will listen. It only took 46 minutes from beginning to end. I'm truly grateful. I got to go home after the sedition wore off. My brother even came up to visit from Chicago who wears a Lavad unit to surprise me . He and his wife. It was like if he can do it I can do it. Won't He do it Yeah He will.
Both the doctors are really concerned and taken care of my pain and my lower back very great place to go to good people even the receptionists are very nice for friendly
