Do you have pain that feels like Sciatica? It could be ischial Bursitis. 

My patients always complain to me about sitting for long periods of times (those lucky office workers) and people that love horseback riding. 
Sometimes the frustrating symptom is the leg pain that can feel like sciatica. 
Another daily activity is when driving the symptoms get better when they put the foot down on the pedal

For younger athletic patient, sprinting constantly with a tight hamstring may lead to bursitis. 

How Can Health Wise Chiropractic Help 
- we always have different ways we show patients how to cushion the joint to help with daily activities. 
- working on the tight muscles and trying to increase joint movement may also help with different patients.

Subtrochanteric Bursitis, what is it?
First lets talk about what a bursa is, a bursae(fluid filled sac) is a thin lubricant that are located at various areas in the body that help with friction between the bone and the surrounding soft tissue(Skin, Muscles, Ligaments and Tendons)

The two major bursae in the hip are the subgluteous medius and subgluteus maximus. My patients are often middle aged and have pain in the hip with a limp. Sleeping on the side where the bursae is inflamed is often to painful. 

What can cause it?
This is where Chiropractors really assess the body as there are many things that can cause a bursitis. There is often a loss of internal rotation. Other things can cause a bursitis in the hip are low back dysfunctions, a leg length discrepancy and arthritic conditions. 

How Can Health Wise Chiropractic Help?
Depending on what we find in a consultation, we often do the following:
- fixing the leg length discrepancy 
- adjusting the pelvis and hip 
- stretching the hip abductors
- if the problem is long term, we use our ultrasound therapy. 
- after a couple of weeks, adjusting the hip when the inflammation has decreased is usually performed by the trained chiropractor.

Having shoulder pain? Having pain with ANY shoulder movement?

It could be a bursitis or tendonitis in the shoulder.

Sometimes it can be from a fall or it could be insidious and come on randomly. 

Most people will come in holding their arm against their body to reduce the likelihood of movement as most pain in any direction is painful.

The cause is there is a inflammatory process occurring when there is resorption of the calcium deposition
