Bursitis & Tendonitis Care in San Antonio, TX
Relieving the Pain That Keeps You From Moving Freely
If you’ve been living with nagging joint pain that flares with certain movements, swells unpredictably, or keeps you from lifting, reaching, or walking comfortably, it could be bursitis or tendonitis. These conditions are common but often frustrating — sidelining you from work, hobbies, and everyday life.
At Aloha Wellness – Chiropractic and Nutrition, we provide comprehensive, drug-free care for bursitis and tendonitis, helping reduce inflammation, restore healthy movement, and keep flare-ups from returning. By combining gentle chiropractic adjustments, targeted muscle work, nutritional strategies, and lifestyle coaching, we address the real drivers of your discomfort so you can get back to living without fear of every step or lift.
Understanding Bursitis and Tendonitis
What is Bursitis?
Bursitis is the inflammation of small, fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion your joints. When irritated by repetitive motion, pressure, or misaligned joints, these sacs swell, causing pain and limiting movement.
Common sites include:
Shoulders (subacromial bursitis)
Hips (trochanteric bursitis)
Knees (prepatellar or pes anserine bursitis)
Elbows (olecranon bursitis)
What is Tendonitis?
Tendonitis is inflammation of the tendons — the thick cords connecting muscles to bones. It’s often caused by overuse, improper movement patterns, or small tears from repetitive stress.
Common areas include:
Rotator cuff tendons in the shoulder
Patellar tendon in the knee
Achilles tendon in the ankle
Tendons in the elbows and wrists (golfer’s or tennis elbow)
Both bursitis and tendonitis can cause:
Sharp or burning pain with specific movements
Swelling, tenderness, or warmth around a joint
Weakness or feeling like the joint “catches”
Pain that’s worse at night or after activity
How We Help at Aloha Wellness
Correcting Underlying Alignment
Many cases of bursitis and tendonitis are fueled by small spinal or joint misalignments that change how forces load through your body. Gentle chiropractic adjustments help restore proper alignment, reducing strain on tendons and bursae so they can heal.
Muscle Balance & Movement Correction
We assess which muscles are tight, overworked, or weak, then create a plan to balance them. By improving how your body moves and distributes load, we take pressure off irritated tissues.
Supporting Natural Inflammation Control
Through Nutrition Response Testing, we identify nutritional gaps or stress patterns that can drive chronic inflammation. We then use whole-food strategies and targeted supplements to calm irritation from the inside out.
Practical Lifestyle Guidance
We’ll coach you on posture, ergonomics, and small activity modifications — so you keep moving without overloading vulnerable areas.
