Tendonitis & Bursitis
Tendonitis occurs when tissues connecting muscle and bone become inflamed. Bursitis occurs when bursac sacks acting as joint cushions become inflamed. These conditions can arise from an injury or from chronic overuse, often referred to as “repetitive stress injury.”
Tendons connect muscle to bone. They are thick and dense, and when they become inflamed, they are often sensitive to touch. Bursac, on the other hand, are between bones and tendons. They also cause great pain when inflamed.
Symptoms
Several symptoms of these conditions include:
01
Inflammation of joint areas
02
Swelling and redness
03
Tenderness to touch or movement
04
Inability to move the joint
Diagnosis

I’ve had terrible migraines for as long as I can remember, and nothing seemed to work. A friend of mine turned me on to Dr. Mantena and I’m so grateful she did. It’s been almost two months, and I haven’t had even one migraine in that time. I was getting them every week before, so this is amazing. A big thanks to Dr. Mantena
