Recovery Timeline & Self-Care
Most bursitis cases improve within 2-4 weeks with proper treatment and rest. Recovery involves avoiding activities that aggravate symptoms, applying ice to reduce inflammation, and following prescribed medication regimens. Gradual return to activities is important to prevent recurrence. Physical therapy may be recommended for persistent cases. Return for follow-up if symptoms worsen or don't improve within 2 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
No appointment is necessary. We welcome walk-ins daily from 8am to 8pm at both our Palm Beach Gardens and Stuart locations. Our medical providers are experienced in diagnosing and treating bursitis and can see you promptly.
Diagnosis involves a thorough physical examination of the affected joint, assessment of your symptoms and activity history, and evaluation of range of motion. We may use X-ray imaging to rule out other conditions like fractures or arthritis. Our evidence-based approach ensures accurate diagnosis for appropriate treatment.
Treatment typically includes rest, ice application, anti-inflammatory medications, and activity modification. We may prescribe medications to reduce pain and inflammation. In some cases, we provide referrals for physical therapy or specialist consultation if symptoms persist despite initial treatment.
Most cases improve within 2-4 weeks with proper treatment and rest. However, recovery time varies depending on the severity of inflammation, the affected joint, and adherence to treatment recommendations. Chronic or severe cases may require longer recovery periods.
You should modify or avoid activities that aggravate your symptoms during the healing process. We provide specific activity guidelines based on your condition and lifestyle. Gradual return to activities is important to prevent recurrence once symptoms improve.
Please bring your photo ID, insurance card if applicable, and a list of current medications. If you've had previous imaging or treatment for this condition, bring those records. This information helps us provide the most effective care.
Visit the emergency room if you experience severe pain with fever, inability to move the joint at all, signs of infection (red, hot, extremely swollen joint), or if you suspect a fracture. For typical bursitis symptoms, urgent care is appropriate.
Many bursitis cases resolve with rest, medication, and activity modification. However, if symptoms persist or recur frequently, we may recommend physical therapy to strengthen surrounding muscles and improve joint mechanics. We provide referrals when appropriate.
