Olecranon Bursitis Treatment & Relief Ireland
Treating Olecranon Bursitis In Dublin, Ireland
If you’re experiencing pain and inflammation in your elbow, you may have olecranon bursitis. This condition is caused by a build-up of fluid in the olecranon bursa, which is located at the back of the elbow. While it can be a very painful condition, physiotherapy and chiropractic care may help manage it.
In this blog post, we’ll discuss the treatments offered by Dublin Physical & Chiropractic for olecranon bursitis. We’ll also provide some tips on how to reduce your risk of developing this condition.
What Causes Olecranon Bursitis?
The olecranon bursa is located at the back of the elbow, between the skin and the olecranon (the pointy part of your elbow). This small sac-like structure helps to cushion the bone against friction.
Olecranon bursitis can be caused by a number of things, including:
- Trauma or injury to the elbow.
- Infection.
- Rheumatoid arthritis.
- Gout.
