Anti Inflammatory

Treatments of inflammatory conditions usually starts with some simple steps, and becomes more advanced as needed. Some basic treatment steps include:

• Rest and Protect The Area
  Treatment must begin by avoiding aggravating movements. This may mean taking a break from a favorite activity for a period of time, but this is a necessary step to allow the inflammation to subside.
• Apply an Ice Pack
  Icing the area of inflammation is an important aspect of treatment. The ice will help control the inflammation and decrease swelling. By minimizing inflammation and swelling, the tendons and bursa can return to their usual state and perform as usual.
• Take Anti-Inflammatory Medications
  Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) can help reduce inflammation and ease painful symptoms. Use anti-inflammatory medications under the direction of your physician.
• Cortisone Injections
  If the symptoms of tendonitis or bursitis are persistent, an injection of cortisone may be considered. Cortisone is a powerful anti-inflammatory medication. But instead of being given by mouth, it is injected directly to the site of inflammation. This can be extremely helpful for situations that are not improved with rest.
