Bursitis, Tendonitis and Epicondylitis are all signs of inflammation. Bursitis usually affects the shoulder, but can occur in any joint where bursae (small sacs lined with viscous synovial fluid) are located. Tendonitis affects the tendon, a strong fibrous band that attaches a muscle to a bone, usually the result of physical stress. Last is Epicondylitis, or "tennis elbow" because the inflammation is in the epicondyle, where the tendons are attached to the elbow.

Chiropractic treatment will eliminate the problem and help you regain the use of the afflicted region.
