At LivHospital, we understand that joint pain can stop you from doing what you love. Our Rheumatology and Orthopedics departments work together to treat bursitis. We focus on reducing pain and fixing the root cause of the inflammation.
Our goal is to help you move freely again. We use a mix of rest, medicine, and advanced procedures. Every patient gets a plan made just for them. Whether you have hip, shoulder, or elbow pain, our team is ready to help.
Most cases of bursitis get better without surgery. We always start with the simplest and safest methods. These treatments help reduce swelling and let the bursa heal naturally.
The first step in bursitis treatment options is resting the joint. You do not need to stay in bed, but you must avoid the action that caused the pain.
Medicine is often used to bring down swelling and stop pain.
Physical therapy is a key part of our joint rehabilitation program. A therapist will teach you how to move correctly to avoid hurting the bursa again.
If rest and medicine do not work, we may suggest minimally invasive procedures. These are done quickly and usually do not require an overnight hospital stay. They provide faster relief for severe pain.
Sometimes a bursa fills with too much fluid. This causes pressure and pain. LIV Hospital specialists perform aspiration to fix this.
Injections are very effective for inflammation that will not go away.
Surgery is rare for bursitis. We only suggest it if other treatments fail after 6 to 12 months. It is also used if there is a severe infection. LIV Hospital uses advanced technology to make surgery safe and effective.
This is a minimally invasive surgery. It is the most common surgical method we use.
In complex cases, open surgery may be needed. This allows the surgeon to see the whole area directly.
Recovery looks different for everyone. It depends on whether you had a simple treatment or surgery. The LIV Hospital rehabilitation team supports you through every step.
After an injection or aspiration, recovery is quick.
Recovering from a bursectomy takes time, but our joint rehabilitation program speeds up the process.
We do not stop caring for you once the procedure is done. Follow-up appointments ensure the bursitis does not come back.
Choosing where to get treated is a big decision. LIV Hospital offers distinct advantages for rheumatology and orthopedic care.

The main treatments include rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medications. If these do not work, we use physical therapy, fluid drainage (aspiration), or corticosteroid injections. Surgery is the last option and is only used for severe, chronic cases.
Rehabilitation time varies. For non-surgical treatments, you might feel better in a few weeks. If you have surgery, full bursitis surgery recovery can take 3 to 6 weeks. Your physical therapist will give you a specific timeline based on your progress.
Most patients do not need surgery. We typically treat bursitis with medication and therapy first. Surgery is usually reserved for cases that do not heal after 6 to 12 months of treatment or for cases involving severe infection.
Doctors commonly prescribe Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen to reduce pain and swelling. If the bursitis is caused by an infection, we will prescribe antibiotics. Corticosteroids are also used as injections for strong relief.
During recovery, you can expect gradual improvement in pain and movement. You may need to wear a brace or sling for a short time. Physical therapy exercises will be necessary to rebuild strength. Regular follow-up visits at LIV Hospital will ensure you are healing correctly.
