What is Bursitis & What Causes It?
Bursitis is the inflammation of a bursa. Bursae are small, fluid-filled sacs that act as cushions between bones and the tendons and muscles near them. This inflammation usually becomes painful, especially while trying to use the impacted joint.
This disease is more common in those over the age of 40. Bursitis most typically affects people who enjoy hobbies like gardening, raking, woodworking, shoveling, painting, scrubbing, tennis, golf, skiing, throwing, or pitching. Other causes include injury or trauma to the affected area, inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and infection.
Bursitis often occurs in the shoulders, elbows, hips, or knees.
Common Symptoms of Bursitis
Bursitis is characterized by joint pain, swelling, and soreness. The pain is often worse when you move the affected joint or press on it. Bursitis can also cause:
Tenderness
Redness
Warmth to the touch
Joint stiffness
Limited range of motion
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to see our chiropractic team in Charlotte.

“I have endured an 18 year headache due to a car accident. I’ve visited multiple Chiropractors over the years with no change to my issue. I’m now seeing there is light at the end of this dark tunnel. The care that I am receiving is unmatched. I no longer have a constant headache. I recommend coming here for Chiropractic care if you desire to get better.”

“I found Dr. Schumann at the Taste of Charlotte a few weeks back, and it has completely turned everything around for the better. I have had chronic pain in my low back, hip, leg, and groin since November of 2025 (~7 months unresolved). I went to orthopedic doctors, physiologists, physical therapists and more in that time frame — no one was able to give me a concrete or definite source of my pain — if anything, I was thrown around a million different diagnoses and treatments. I’m a healthy, active 26 y/o and had no prior injury. Very quickly (when I say fast, I mean with scans evaluated during our FIRST consult) Dr. Schumann was able to identify that I’ve had a pinched nerve at my S1. I’ve been following his plan for the last two weeks and have already felt relief that I completely forgot exists. I can proudly say that I am no longer in chronic pain, while I experience minimal flares as we work to fully resolve the issue. I plan to continue treatment until my spine is realigned. Whether you’re in need of immediate relief, long term relief, or someone that will affirm you are not crazy and there is a source to your pain — Chiropractic Fitness is the place to go (and Dr. Schulman’s team is absolutely phenomenal and so helpful).”
