It can happen to anyone\u2014from athletes to cashiers. Or maybe it\u2019s simply due to the possibility that you\u2019re wearing the wrong pair of shoes. Luckily, typical cases of bursitis are easy to treat at home, as its remedies are accessible and numerous.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s step into the science behind bursitis, what causes it, how to alleviate symptoms, and how you can squash pesky foot pain <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">before<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> it starts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is Bursitis?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A bursa (plural, bursae) is a fluid-filled sac that provides cushioning between joint bones and the surrounding musculature. There are around 150 bursae distributed throughout the human body. Pretty much everywhere your body bends, it\u2019s possible to find a bursa.<sup>2<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bursitis happens when a bursa, or multiple bursae, becomes inflamed. The resulting pain and swelling can cause discomfort and mobility problems. That said, bursitis is typically a temporary condition, and will usually go away without professional medical intervention.<sup>3<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">possible\u2014though rare\u2014for bursitis to turn severe. Depending upon symptoms and causes, treatment from a professional may be required.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Causes of Bursitis<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bursitis has a number of causes, both internal and external.<sup>4<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It can be brought on by anything from ill-fitting apparel to an unruly infection. Here are a few of its possible origins:<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Exterior pressure <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ill-fitting or unbroken shoes are one of the main causes of bursitis of the foot. The exterior pressure of the footwear can put stress on the bursae in the heel, leading to inflammation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Overexertion <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over-flexing, intense movement, or too much impact on the joint can cause bursitis. Overexertion is typically the result of athletics, exercise, or repetitive activities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>An underlying condition <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Arthritis, gout, bone spurs, Haglund\u2019s deformity, and other pre-existing foot conditions can often predicate or exacerbate bursitis. An injury elsewhere in the body that changes the way you walk, even slightly, can eventually result in inflamed bursae too.<sup>2<\/sup><\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Infection <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Bursa inflammation can sometimes (though rarely) be caused by an infection. Bacteria can sometimes find their way into the body through scratches and scrapes and in some cases, wind up targeting the bursae.<sup>2<\/sup><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a good idea to practice preventative self-care for the feet and ankles. Many of the causes listed above can be avoided altogether. Regular stretching, careful attention to aches, pains, and wounds, and mindful wardrobe choices will all make a difference. Refer to the section below on the prevention of bursitis for more in-depth information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bursitis-Foot1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9534\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bursitis-Foot1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bursitis-Foot1.jpg 512w, https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bursitis-Foot1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Symptoms of Bursitis\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wondering if you may be suffering from bursitis of the foot? The physical symptoms of bursitis vary on a case-to-case basis, but there are a few commonly cited signs:<sup>3<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain in and around the affected joint or soft tissue. For example: If you are experiencing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/pain-in-top-of-foot-6-causes-and-remedies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pain on top of your foot<\/a>, you might have bursitis on one of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">joints <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">where your metatarsals meet your toes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tender skin that appears red and swollen. This is especially applicable to bursitis of the foot, where the affected bursae are situated just under the skin.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty moving the affected joint or limited range of movement.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain and difficulty while walking, jogging, or running. In some cases, this pain may increase in intensity when the toes are flexed.<sup>4<\/sup><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joint swelling<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take careful stock of the physical sensations and appearance of your feet and ankles. There are many other possible explanations for pain and lack of mobility in the foot, such as a fracture, corns and calluses, neuroma, or a simple muscle strain. Because the tendon is the affected part of bursitis, anywhere on the foot that has a tendon can have bursitis. Without you knowing, you might have intermetatarsal bursitis, Achilles tendon bursitis, or even heel bursitis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heel pain, in particular, can be caused by plantar fasciitis, another type of inflammation in the foot. It can be difficult to determine the cause of foot and heel pain on your own, so you may need to seek out professional assistance to be certain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/orthotics.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8162 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Arch-Support-Inserts-CTA.jpg\" alt=\"shop-arch-support-inserts\" width=\"998\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Arch-Support-Inserts-CTA.jpg 998w, https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Arch-Support-Inserts-CTA-300x70.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Arch-Support-Inserts-CTA-768x180.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 998px) 100vw, 998px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Do You Need a Diagnosis?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the symptoms you\u2019re experiencing are intense enough to interrupt the flow of your daily life, it\u2019s always a good idea to see a doctor. Self-diagnosis and home treatment may work for most cases, but severe or chronic cases of bursitis typically require medical intervention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A professional diagnosis of bursitis usually involves:<sup>4<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An evaluation where you will be asked about recent physical activity and habits<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A physical examination of the painful area\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A range of motion evaluation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, investigation through medical technology, such as Xray, ultrasound or MRI<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the physiology of the foot is extremely complex, a podiatrist, a medical doctor who specializes in the feet and ankles, will be best equipped to diagnose and treat bursitis. If you visit a minute clinic or a general practitioner, it\u2019s possible that you may be referred to a podiatrist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Treatment of Bursitis\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mild bursitis typically resolves on its own, as long as the affected joint is given the time to rest and heal. Here are some of the at-home therapies a doctor might recommend:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like aspirin and ibuprofen can be used to reduce pain and swelling.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resting the joint and avoiding further strain could help to expedite the healing process.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If movement can\u2019t be avoided, orthotic shoes or socks can help relieve pressure.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More serious cases of bursitis must be treated by a doctor and could involve more invasive procedures. Septic bursitis (bursitis caused by an infection) in particular should be assessed and treated by a professional. In which case:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antibiotics may be prescribed to treat the infection.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The practitioner may use a needle to aspirate infected fluid from the bursa.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the most serious cases, surgery to remove the infection (a bursectomy and or an incision and drainage) may be needed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re at all unsure about the severity of your foot pain, don\u2019t hesitate to get a professional opinion. It\u2019s far better to be told there\u2019s nothing to worry about than to ignore an infection or serious affliction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>To RICE or Not to RICE<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re familiar with sports injuries, you may have noticed a common at-home treatment missing from our list above.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The RICE method has been widely practiced for decades as a way to treat:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strained muscles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sprained joints and ligaments<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bursitis<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other mild injuries to the musculoskeletal system<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RICE stands for rest, ice, compression, and elevation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the doctor who created this treatment method has since come out against it. Dr. Gabe Mirkin says on his blog, \u201cCoaches have used my RICE guideline for decades, but now it appears that both ice and complete rest may <i>delay <\/i>healing, instead of helping.\u201d<sup>5<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Mirkin goes on to discuss how inflammation is the body\u2019s immune response to injury, and a certain amount of it is biologically necessary for healing. He recommends applying ice sparingly, only for the purpose of pain relief.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mirkin also recommends gentle joint exercise, as long as the movement doesn\u2019t cause any added pain or discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Prevention of Bursitis<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a bit of forethought, it\u2019s usually possible to prevent bursitis from occurring. There are a few different ways to go about this:<sup>3<\/sup><\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Stretch <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Always stretch and warm up your body before exercise. Those with physically demanding jobs should stretch before work too. Stretching the backs of your ankles by dropping your heels below the edge of a stair or curb is a good way to prevent bursitis (of the\u201d heel\u201d specifically, not the entire foot )foot.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pay attention to your body\u2019s signals <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Simply put, if something is causing you pain, don\u2019t push through it. Stop the activity and analyze where the pain is coming from. Maintaining proper posture throughout the day could also be a helpful step in preventing bursitis. The saying, \u201cno pain, no gain\u201d does not apply here. Pushing through the last few repetitions of a set, for example, when lifting weights, is\u00a0 not the same as pushing through joint pain. <\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Protect vulnerable areas <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Trade in uncomfortable shoes for shoes for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/orthotics.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shoes with arch support <\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">specially designed to support foot health.
