• Arthritis
  Bursitis is commonly caused by repetitive movement and excessive pressure. Elbows and knees are the most commonly affected. Inflammation of the bursae might also be caused by other inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. Although infrequent, scoliosis might cause bursitis of the shoulders; however, shoulder bursitis is more commonly caused by overuse of the shoulder joint and related muscles.  Traumatic injury is another cause of bursitis. The inflammation irritates because the bursa no longer fits in the original small area between the bone and the functionary muscle or tendon. When the bone increases pressure upon the bursa, bursitis results. Sometimes the reason is unknown. It can also be associated with some chronic systemic diseases.
• Cryotherapy
  Based on the evaluation, our physical therapists will develop a customized rehabilitation program for you. In the acute stage this might include modalities to reduce inflamation and irritation of the Bursea and surrounding soft tissue such as ultrasound and electrical stimulation as well as cryotherapy and thermotherapy. As the Bursea settles then manual therapy and exercises are incorperated to adress and strength and /or mobility deficites. Finally, the goal is to return to normal functioning, so ergonomics and functional movement analysis and corrective measures are adressed to aid in the final stages of recovery.

• Diabetes Care
• Thyroid
  Often, physical therapists don’t see patients with adhesive capsulitis until well into the freezing phase or early in the frozen phase. Your physical therapist will perform a thorough evaluation, including an extensive health history, to rule out other diagnoses. Your therapist will look for a specific pattern in your decreased range of motion; it’s called a “capsular pattern” and is typical with adhesive capsulitis. In addition, your therapist will consider other conditions you might have—such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, and autoimmune disorders—that are associated with adhesive capsulitis.
