Do You Suffer From Painful Bursitis?  
Are you Restricted By Inflammation and Swelling?      

Thermomedic Health Fact File

What Is Bursitis?   

Bursitis is inflammation of the small, protective sacs, called bursae, found
between two neighbouring structures such as muscles, tendons and bones.

A bursa decreases friction by assisting movement of the tendon over a
bony surface. Although bursae are located outside the joint itself,
inflammation in these soft tissues can be mistaken for arthritis. However,
strictly speaking, arthritis involves inflammation within the joints, while
bursitis is defined as the inflammation outside the joint. While bursitis does
not cause joint deformity it causes pain and restricts movement.

Our bodies contain many bursae, however, the shoulder, elbow, knee and
heel are most commonly affected by bursitis. The most common causes are
injury, repeated pressure or overuse. Health disorders, such as rheumatoid
arthritis, gout and diabetes may also lead to the development of bursitis.

What Are The Symptoms Of Bursitis?
The symptoms of bursitis may include localised pain, particularly at night,
swelling, increased warmth, stiffness and redness of the skin. Excessive
warmth, redness, pain and swelling in the affected areas can indicate
infection.

The inflammation and swelling associated with bursitis can strike quickly,
within hours or days. When caused by an injury, bursitis will usually lessen
after several days or weeks. However, if bursitis is caused by excessive or
constant use, the inflammation may continue until the injured part is allowed
to rest.

What Safe Effective Treatments Will Help Relieve Bursitis Pain?
Treatment, depending upon the cause of the bursitis, aims to alleviate the
symptoms and assist the healing process. Traditionally these may include
prescription drugs and intensive physiotherapy. Medication and injections of
corticosteroids can also be prescribed. The side effects from these
medications can, however, exacerbate the distress caused by the bursitis
itself. For this reason, many sufferers of bursitis seek natural, non-toxic far
infrared therapy from Thermomedic to effectively relieve their pain and
inflammation.

How Can Thermomedic Therapy Garments Help Me?
Our body has a complex and efficient set of mechanisms to assure the
adequate flow of blood through-out the body. If disturbed by the pain and
inflammation of bursitis, these processes may be restored or relieved by the
use of effective therapeutic thermal and compressive devices by
THERMOMEDIC Therapy Garments. Specially designed to be easy and
comfortable to wear while imparting soothing support to affected areas,
these therapy garments are safe, natural and affordable.

They work particularly well as an adjunct to support prescribed medical
treatments by enhancing your body's natural recuperative ability.

Thermomedic thermal therapy gloves, elbow braces, socks and vests can
help provide a non-invasive and safe treatment for bursitis, since correct
posture and joint protection is essential for recovery. Further, Thermomedic
Therapy Garments provide soothing comfort to affected areas when rest is
required.

Thermomedic compression braces can help decrease the stress on the
affected area and provide correct ergonomic alignment to assist healing.

How Do Thermomedic Therapy Garments Work?
Thermomedic Therapy Garments use the scientific principles of far infrared
thermal energy to assist with the relief of pain and discomfort associated
with bursitis. Following an acute attack it is important to consider how
recurrences can be prevented and Thermomedic Therapy Garments can
assist to prevent repeat injuries by stabilizing joints, providing compressive
support while reducing inflammation and swelling.
