Knee Bursitis Treatment Homeopathy Medicines

A bursa is a fluid-filled sac located around joints, containing synovial fluid that reduces friction between bones and surrounding structures like tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Inflammation of the bursa around the knee joint is known as knee bursitis. The prepatellar bursa, located in front of the knee, is most commonly affected.

Knee bursitis is primarily caused by trauma, such as a fall or a blow to the knee. This trauma can be a single incident or the result of repeated impacts, common among athletes. Another significant cause is excessive kneeling, often seen in occupations that require prolonged kneeling, like housekeeping or coal mining. Depending on the occupation, knee bursitis is known by different names: for housemaids, it is called Housemaid’s Knee, and for coal miners, it is referred to as Coal Miner’s Knee.

The symptoms of knee bursitis include redness, swelling, pain, warmth, and tenderness around the knee joint. Homeopathic remedies offer effective treatment for knee bursitis, utilizing natural substances that are safe and free of side effects. Homeopathic treatment can lead to complete recovery from knee bursitis.
