Abstract
Bursa is fluid-filled sac filled with a
small amount of liquid called synovial. Bursa is
located in many places in the body mostly between
bones and the tendons and muscles near joints. The
bursa reduces friction and eases the movement
between the bones, tendons and other tissues. The
biggest bursas are located between tendons and
bone, usually over the large joints such as shoulder,
elbow, hips and knees. Bursitis is inflammation of a
bursa and itcan be caused by various factors such
as: trauma (repetitive movements), infection,
deposition of microcrystals. Acupuncture as part of
the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is very
often used in the treatment of bursitis. In the
research are included 30 patients, 18 male and 12
female, on age from 18 to 71, treated with
acupuncture for shoulder bursitis. Acupuncture
treatments were made in a clinic for TCM and
acupuncture, on room temperature, with normal
and fire needles, on certain trigger points - Ashi.
Most of the patients needed only 1-2 treatments,
expect for some patients who needed 3-4 treatments.
The treatment with fire needle showed better and
faster results in the treatment of shoulder bursitis.
