The bursa is a sac filled with lubricating fluid, located between tissues such as bone, muscle, tendons, and skin that decreases rubbing, friction, and irritation. Bursitis commonly occurs in the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and Achilles tendon. Bursitis is caused by repetitive motion, an impact on the area, or from an injury. The most common symptom of bursitis is pain. The pain may build up gradually or be sudden and severe, especially if calcium deposits are present. Acupuncture alleviates the pain and inflammation associated with bursitis and can assist in the healing of an injury to the bursa by causing an increase in the blood flow to the region.
Success Conceiving in 2 Weeks
I started seeing Monica after working with two other acupuncturists for infertility over the course of nine months without any success. She came highly recommended and I was impressed right away with how she explained her philosophy on treating infertility with acupuncture. She put me at ease by giving me practical advice and by explaining why and how she would use each acupuncture point. She also addressed diet and herbs, which were important to me. I left my first treatment feeling encouraged, optimistic, and more cared for than I had with previous practitioners. I started seeing her weekly and was amazed when only two weeks later I was able to shift my care from infertility treatment to maternity treatment! I continued to see her for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, which was extremely helpful both for sustaining the pregnancy and for reducing nausea. I would strongly encourage anyone in a similar situation to seek Monica’s help!
