Information on BursitisDescription Bursitis is defined as inflammation of bursa. A bursa is a sac that is formed or found in areas subject to friction, such as locations where tendons pass over bony landmarks. The most common sites are subdeltoid (upper arms), olecranon (elbows), prepatellar (knees), trochanteric (legs), and radiohumeral (lower arms). They essentially lubricate the region with synovial fluid. Large bursae usually communicate with joints and are responsible for retaining the synovial fluid in place. Bursae are fluid-filled sacs that serve as a cushion between tendons and bones. Bywaters, an English rheumatologist, found at least 78 bursae symmetrically placed on each side of the body. Causes Bursitis may be acute or chronic, and its etiology is often unknown. There are many types of bursitis, including infectious, traumatic, inflammatory or gouty. Less often rheumatoid disease or tuberculosis as well as gout and pseudogout. Individuals who engage in repetitive and vigorous training or others who suddenly increase their level of activity (e.g., "weekend warriors") are at higher risk of developing bursitis. Also, improper or over-zealous stretching may lead to injury. Conventional Labs Standard lab testing aids in differentiating soft tissue disease from rheumatic and connective tissue disease: CBC; ESR; Serum protein electrophoresis; Rheumatoid factor (RF); Serum uric acid; Calcium; Phosphorus; Alkaline phosphatase; VDRL; and Joint fluid analysis (when available). Specialty Lab Tests Products to consider Natural Therapies Most natural health web sites put a list of herbs, vitamins and nutritional supplements along with citations from scientific studies. Have you found this to be confusing, since there are so many to choose from? A far simpler way is to choose a supplement from the appropriate body system, such as liver support, detoxification, etc. A well formulated supplement works a lot better than separate vitamins and usually costs a lot less. Please call me at (239) 659-2684 if you would like some assistance in choosing an appropriate product. I can't diagnose or treat diseases by phone, but I can assist you in making better choices. I also can send some relevant articles to read. The first ten minutes are free (as long as you purchase from my web site). |
The next step, after you have been diagnosed with a disease, is to find out what is the specific cause, and then choose supplements that address it. Phone consults are my specialty. Please call my at (239) 659-2684 to schedule a consultation.
I recommend that you make an informed choice, and the goal of this web site is to provide you with the information to make a wise choice when it comes to your health and wellness.
As you can see, I don't sell any vitamins on this web site. There are thousands of vitamin stores that will sell you whatever vitamin you want, and many of them offer discounts.
If you are interested in some high-quality basic nutritional supplements, I recommend visiting the Store You will find my recommendations for a multiple, tasty chewable fiber wafers, high-potency probiotics, and fish oils.
Good luck in your journey towards health and wellness!!
Unfortunately, that would be a clear violation of FDA regulations. Also, one of the most important aspect of naturopathy is: "Treat the person, not the disease". This is a profound statement, and many people have spent thousands of dollars on vitamins listed in books or web sites for a specific disease. This is what I call "vending machine medicine". It rarely works! The solution is to find a naturopathic physician, such as myself, to assist you.
