Types of Bursitis

Bursitis is classified based on the location of the affected bursa sac in the body. Here are the main types:

Shoulder Bursitis (Subacromial Bursitis)

Shoulder bursitis affects the bursa between the acromion (part of the shoulder blade) and the rotator cuff tendons. One of the most common forms of bursitis, shoulder bursitis is often caused by repetitive overhead motions, poor posture, or shoulder injuries. Symptoms include pain when raising the arm or lying on the affected shoulder.

 

Hip Bursitis (Trochanteric Bursitis)

Hip bursitis involves inflammation of the bursa over the bony point of the hip (greater trochanter). It causes pain on the outer hip and thigh, worsening with activities like climbing stairs, prolonged walking, or lying on the affected side. Hip bursitis is common in runners, cyclists, and older adults.

 

Elbow Bursitis (Olecranon Bursitis)

Also known as “student’s elbow” or “miner’s elbow,” elbow bursitis affects the bursa at the bony tip of the elbow (olecranon). It typically results from prolonged pressure on the elbow, trauma, or infection. It presents as visible swelling at the back of the elbow with pain during elbow movement.

Knee Bursitis

There are several types of knee bursitis:

  • Prepatellar Bursitis affects the bursa in front of the kneecap, often called “housemaid’s knee” or “carpenter’s knee” because it commonly results from kneeling activities.
  • Infrapatellar Bursitis involves inflammation of the bursa below the kneecap, often related to jumping activities (“jumper’s knee”).
  • Anserine Bursitis is inflammation of the bursa on the inner side of the knee, common in runners and swimmers.

 

Ankle/Heel Bursitis

  • Retrocalcaneal Bursitis is inflammation of the bursa between the Achilles tendon and heel bone, often caused by wearing ill-fitting shoes or excessive walking/running.
  • Retroachilles Bursitis patients experience bursa inflammation between the skin and the Achilles tendon, frequently caused by shoe friction.

The Need for Regenerative Medicine Bursitis Treatment & Why Traditional Pain Relief Often Falls Short

While conventional treatments like rest, physical therapy, and corticosteroid injections provide temporary relief, they often fail to address the underlying cause of inflammation and tissue damage. This is where regenerative medicine approaches – PRP and stem cell therapy – offer groundbreaking alternatives.

PRP Therapy for Bursitis

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is at the forefront of non-surgical bursitis treatment. This innovative procedure utilizes the healing components within your blood to accelerate recovery and reduce inflammation.

Step 1

Blood Draw

We draw a small amount of your blood (similar to a standard blood test)



Step 2

Preparing PRP

Our technicians centrifuge the blood concentrate platelets and healing growth factors.

Step 3

PRP Injection

Our doctors inject the PRP into the affected bursa.

Step 4

Recovery

Within weeks, the PRP begins stimulating tissue repair and reducing inflammation.

The Benefits of PRP for Bursitis Patients

Unlike cortisone shots that mask symptoms temporarily, PRP therapy addresses the root cause of your bursitis pain by healing the inflamed bursa. Our patients typically begin to experience improvement within 2-to-6 weeks following treatment, with benefits including:

  • Reduced inflammation and pain
  • Improved joint mobility
  • Accelerated healing of damaged tissues
  • Potential to delay or avoid surgery
  • Minimal downtime and quick return to activities

Stem Cell Therapy: The Gold Standard for Bursitis Relief in Miami

For patients with severe or chronic bursitis, our Miami clinic specializes in advanced stem cell injections, offering a powerful regenerative treatment for stubborn joint pain conditions.

The Science Behind Our Miami Stem Cell Treatment:

Stem cells are your body’s “master cells,” capable of transforming into different cell types and orchestrating complex healing processes. Our Miami specialists harvest these powerful cells from your bone marrow or adipose tissue. We then precisely inject the stem cells into the damaged bursa and surrounding tissues.

The results our patients experience from stem cell therapy for bursitis are remarkable:

  • Reduction in inflammation and pain
  • Regeneration of damaged tissue
  • Restoration of normal joint function
  • Long-lasting relief 
  • Potential to completely resolve chronic bursitis

Frequently Asked Questions About Bursitis and Regenerative Medicine

Bursitis typically develops from repetitive motion, overuse, direct trauma to a joint, or underlying conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. In Miami’s active community, we frequently see bursitis from sports activities, occupational stress, and age-related joint degeneration.

RCommon symptoms include localized pain, swelling, limited range of motion, and tenderness around the affected joint. While these symptoms may resemble other conditions, our specialists utilize precise diagnostic methods to confirm bursitis and rule out alternative diagnoses..

PRP is not covered by insurance companies. However, STEMS Health offers many affordable and flexible self-pay options for bursitis patients.

 

Results vary based on the severity of your condition and your body’s response to treatment. Many of our patients experience relief lasting 1-to-2 years from a single treatment, while some achieve permanent resolution of their bursitis symptoms, particularly when combined with appropriate lifestyle modifications.

Since these therapies utilize your body’s biological materials, adverse reactions are rare. Some patients experience mild soreness or swelling at the injection site for 24-48 hours. Unlike corticosteroid injections, regenerative treatments carry a limited risk of tissue deterioration or weakening

Most patients achieve significant improvement with just one stem cell treatment. PRP therapy occasionally requires a series of 2-to-3 injections spaced 4-to-6 weeks apart. Our team tailors your specific treatment plan to your condition’s severity and your body’s healing response.

Unlike surgical interventions, our Miami regenerative treatments require minimal downtime. Most patients resume normal daily activities within 24-to-48 hours. Although we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 1-2 weeks to optimize healing. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your specific treatment.

While cortisone provides temporary symptom relief, it does little to treat the long-term inflammation and pain associated with bursitis. Our Miami regenerative treatments address the root cause of bursitis by promoting tangible healing and tissue regeneration, offering the potential for long-term resolution rather than just symptomatic relief.
