Bursitis is a painful condition that affects the small, fluid-filled sacs called
bursae that cushion the bones, tendons and muscles near your joints. Bursitis occurs
when bursae become inflamed. The most common locations for bursitis are in the shoulder,
elbow and hip.

The most common causes of bursitis are repetitive motions or positions that put 
pressure on the bursae around a joint. Examples include:

·         Throwing a baseball or lifting something over your head repeatedly

·         Leaning on your elbows for long periods

·         Extensive kneeling for tasks such as laying carpet or scrubbing floors

Other causes include injury or trauma to the affected area, inflammatory arthritis
such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout and infection.

Speaking of symptoms, If you have bursitis, the affected joint might:

·         Feel achy or stiff

·         Hurt more when you move it or press on it

·         Look swollen and red

Extensive research has shown that laser light therapy is a safe and effective treatment
for tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis and other issues that affect the shoulder. It
reduces inflammation, increases circulation, speeds metabolism on a cellular level,
reduces fibrosis and scar tissue and strengthens tissue.

All these functionalities are actually provided by the advanced. Bursitis of the
Shoulder can be successfully treated with Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) to achieve
resolution. The result would be much higher if the[ Physiology Diode Laser System. SIFLASER-1.41](https://sifsof.com/product/physiotherapy-diode-laser-system-siflaser-1-41/)
is being used.

Indeed, this Laser therapy machine proved to be highly effective in the treatment
of such an issue especially since it has a wide range of clinical applications.

With a low-level 10W laser power, The device is mainly being used for shoulder pain
relief.

First, it has an anti-inflammation effect as it causes vasodilation, but also because
it activates the lymphatic drainage system (drains swollen areas). As a result, 
there is a reduction in swelling caused by the inflammation.

As for pain issues, Laser therapy has a high beneficial effect on nerve cells which
block pain transmitted by these cells to the brain and which decreases nerve sensitivity.
Accordingly, due to less inflammation, there will be less pain.

The device is also estimated to increase the metabolic activity of the body, which
is highly needed during the Hip or shoulder bursitis treatment process. Its Laser
therapy creates higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle
loads for blood cells.

With all these advanced functionalities, the SIFLASER-1.41 should perfectly meet
the treatment requirements of Hip or shoulder bursitis patients.

LLLT is a relatively new treatment, and researchers are only beginning to understand
why and how it works. However, Some patients like those with Hip or shoulder bursitis
suffer from unsupportable pain prefer undergoing a conservative treatment plan based
on the LLLT.

Treatment, however, can be much more effective if it is laser-guided. Using the 
SIFLASER-1.41, in fact, should help these patients get reassured and less sensitive
to pain as long as this device provides them with a non-invasive, non-toxic treatment
that will lessen the pain, cause no harm and eventually restore their hip or shoulder’s
normal physical function and so improve their life quality.
