Shoulder Bursitis Treatment with Chiropractic Care in Burlington
What is Shoulder Bursitis?
Shoulder bursitis is a common condition that involves inflammation of the bursa in the shoulder. The bursa is a small, fluid-filled sac near the joint that helps reduce friction between bones and other tissues. When the bursa becomes inflamed, it can cause pain and stiffness in your shoulder. Shoulder bursitis may be caused by repetitive overhead activities, such as reaching or throwing. It can also be caused by a direct blow to the shoulder joint.
Chiropractic care is an effective treatment option for shoulder bursitis. At our clinic, we use a variety of gentle chiropractic techniques to reduce inflammation and pain in the joint. We may also recommend lifestyle modifications, such as avoiding repetitive overhead activities or stretching and strengthening exercises to improve flexibility and range of motion in the joint.
Our chiropractor can also recommend ice or heat therapy if needed to reduce inflammation and pain. By using a combination of these treatments, we can help you manage your symptoms and achieve long-term relief from shoulder pain.
If you are suffering from shoulder bursitis, our chiropractor in Burlington can help.

I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism
I recently used Pillars of Wellness services for my injuries. I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism. The first time I came to do my assessment, the owner, the physiotherapist and the chiropractor sat with me to help me figure out the best way to feel better and faster. I spent 6 weeks with on-going treatment using different modalities. The end result was no more pain and I was able to move again!! Thank you so much for your help. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone.

I’m feeling very supported during my recovery….
On the advice of a friend, I reached out and booked a series of appointments with their occupational therapist, Lori; physiotherapist, Abida; and their naturopath, Dr. Galantai to help with recovering from a concussion. It has been an excellent experience! They are all incredible practitioners.
This is the first time I’ve ever experienced a longer term injury and their genuine, individualized care has really lessened my stress. I’m feeling very supported during my recovery and highly recommend their clinic. I credit my continual improvement to the holistic way I’m getting treatment for my symptoms and am very grateful.
I went to different clinics I finally found one worth going to.
Friendly, caring and professionals like nothing I have seen around Aldershot//Burlington. Attentive to the needs of their patients. They take the time to listen. Beautiful and well designed clinic that is extremely well maintained. I have had two car accidents in the last year and I went to different clinics I finally found one worth going to.
