How Acupuncture Can Help Shoulder Bursitis

Shoulder bursitis involves inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac that cushions the shoulder joint. While acupuncture does not claim to cure bursitis, it can help manage symptoms and support rehabilitation. Acupuncture for shoulder bursitis may help by:

• Reducing pain and inflammation
• Improving shoulder range of motion
• Relieving muscle tension around the joint
• Supporting circulation and tissue healing
• Promoting relaxation and overall wellbeing

Many Cairns patients choose acupuncture alongside physiotherapy or medical care for optimal recovery.
