Bursa Injection for Joint Pain
Bursas occur where muscles and tendons insert into the bone.They are located in every joint of the body. Chronic pain from those bursas from a previous injury can cause chronic pain and the treatment for that can be accomplished with injections usually with x-ray or ultrasound guidance into the bursa injecting a small amount of local anesthetic and cortisone. A series of injections is usually enough to improve pain that has not improved with rest, pain medications, physical therapy, or other more conservative treatments.
