Elbow Bursitis Information & Treatments (Olecranon Bursitis)

You may not realize it, but there are multiple bursae in each of your elbows - some of these bursae however, are not always present as bursa do not grow unless the body determines there is a need for it. A listing of bursae in the elbow joint are as follows:

cutting veggies no elbow bursitis
  • Subcutaneous bursa of medial epicondyle
  • Subcutaneous bursa of lateral epicondyle
  • Bursa of anconeus
  • Bursa at origin of extensor carpi radializ brevis
  • Olecranon bursa - Subtendinous bursa of triceps brachii (sometimes present)
  • Olecranon bursa - Intratendinous
  • Olecranon bursa - Subcutaneous

Of all the bursae listed above, the medical community deems the olecranon bursae to be the most important as nearly all cases of elbow bursitis occur in the olecranon bursae. The olecranon bursae are most likely to suffer impact damage (a major cause of bursitis) due to their location on the bony prominence at the back of the elbow joint.

What is Elbow Bursitis?

olecranon bursitis is the most common elbow bursitis

The olecranon bursa (just below the skin) susceptibile to trauma or injury during falls on the elbow and to infection from scrapes or cuts on the skin covering the joint.

Repeated excessive pressure and/or friction, such as leaning on a table top at work, may cause this bursa to become inflamed producing excessive swelling and elbow pain in this area.

Subtendinous olecranon bursitis is much less common. This type of elbow bursitis results from excessive friction between the triceps tendon and olecranon. This may result, for example, from repeated flexion-extension of the forearm which occurs during certain assembly line jobs, and is one of many repetitive motion type injuries. The pain is most severe during the flexion of the forearm because of pressure exerted on the inflamed subtendinous olecranon bursa by the triceps tendon.

Elbow bursitis can happen to anyone though it occurs more frequently in:

  • those who regularly stress their elbow with repetitive arm movements as part of their job
  • those who engage frequently in sports related activities where impacts to the elbow are common
  • those who suffer acute trauma to the elbow
  • the eldery: as you age, the soft tissue around the elbow weakens and increases your risk of olecranon bursitis

Elbow bursitis is one of those injuries that can really bring down the quality of your life. Anyone - young or old - can suffer from this injury, and if you're active this condition will keep you from doing the things you love to do. The pain from elbow bursitis will interrupt many of your normal daily tasks and make living life harder than it really needs to be.

There are 2 different kinds of bursitis - "septic" and "aseptic" bursitis.

"Septic Bursitis" describes a bursa that is infected. Septic bursitis is not something to take lightly, as an infected bursa can spread infection throughout the body and become life-threatening. Consult your physician if you think you have septic bursitis as only they can confirm the condition and prescribe proper treatment options.

If the bursa is septic, getting to a doctor quickly may save your life!

"Aseptic bursitis" will happen when your bursa isn't infected but your bursitis has been caused by inflammation from another soft tissue injury. For elbow bursitis this might mean that you've hurt some of the tissue around your elbow from a trauma (like a fall) or from repetitive damage over time.

Symptoms of Elbow Bursitis

The symptoms of olecranon bursitis are similar to the symptoms of bursitis that occur in other joints of the body; pain, limited range of motion, weakness, difficulties sleeping, swelling and tenderness, and possibly a fever if the bursa is infected.

If you are suffering from olecranon bursitis you will usually be experiencing the following conditions:

Swelling: A lump at the back of the elbow is usually the first sign of elbow bursitis. Once swelling is noticed it is advisable that you begin cold treatments to reduce swelling and inflammation and see your doctor to rule out infectious bursitis.

Redness, Warmth, and Tenderness: If there is a cut or scrape on the elbow near the bursa, bacteria may enter the bursa and cause it to become infected. Signs of septic bursitis include redness, warmth, tenderness, and usually a fever. If you have these symptoms be sure to see a doctor promptly so he/she can prescribe antibiotics.

Although you may experience bursitis without pain, elbow bursitis can cause sharp pain at the tip of the elbow because the bursa pushes on nerve endings around the joint. Pain increases when bending and straightening the elbow or pushing directly on the bursa. Basically, you will experience a Range of Motion Loss due to pain - bending and straightening the elbow causes more pain.

As the bursa swells a visible bump becomes obvious at the tip of the elbow. Inside the elbow, the enlarged bursa decreases the space for the bone joints to move freely during flexion and extension. This limits the range of motion in the elbow and can prevent you from doing daily tasks easily.

Elbow bursitis causes pain at the back of the elbow joint that increases when pressure is placed on the elbow (i.e. leaning on a table). Elbow bursitis is also referred to as olecranon bursitis, dialysis elbow, student's elbow, water on the elbow, swellbow, dart thrower's elbow, lunger's elbow, or miner's elbow.

If any of the above points stated above are true for you, then you might have an injury called "elbow bursitis" - medically, known as olecranon bursitis.

Elbow bursitis is a painful injury affecting the bursa sac in your elbow, and can happen to anyone who regularly puts stress their elbow joint via repetitive arm movements over a long period of time. Alternatively, elbow bursitis can happen due to acute trauma to the elbow (such as a sharp blow) or from weakness in the tissue around the elbow that comes with age.

Elbow bursitis is one of those injuries that can really bring down the quality of your life. Anyone - young or old - can suffer from this injury, and if you're active this condition will keep you from doing the things you love to do. It will even start interrupting any of your normal daily tasks and make living life harder than it really needs to be.

Causes of Elbow (Olecranon) Bursitis

There are a number of things that can indirectly cause bursitis such as repetitive use or overuse from work or sporting activities, a cut or injury to the elbow, acute injuries, and aging. Over the years your muscles will start to lose their mass and strength, your tissues will lose their elasticity and degenerate, making you more susceptible to injury. Weakened muscles and/or tendons or injuries to your elbow, wrist, forearm or shoulder can instigate bursitis. You are at increased risk of suffering from this condition if your work and/or lifestyle require repetitive use of your elbow.

Frequent leaning on your elbow can cause bursa pain.

Trauma to the elbow and especially in the olecranon bursa area causes inflammation of the elbow bursa, resulting in a widening of the blood vessels. This widening allows proteins and various fluids into the bursae that are not supposed to be there, resulting in swelling. Until these foreign materials leave the bursa or are broken down by the bursa's defense system, the swelling and pain will remain.

Acute trauma to the elbow means a direct blow to the elbow. In such cases, blood may leak into the bursa of the elbow and cause swelling and pain.

Chronic trauma will occur if there is mild trauma to the elbow that occurs repetitively. For instance, a hard elbow rest while driving frequently or straining the elbow frequently while throwing darts.

How Do I Diagnose Elbow Bursitis?

The best way to diagnose this condition is with a quick visit to the your doctor for a physical examination of your elbow. They will inquire about the intensity of your present pain, the duration of your symptoms and the limitations you are experiencing. Details about what instigated the problem, when it started, and whether or not you have ever had treatments for this or a similar condition in the past, are very helpful in assessing your injury.

Are you having trouble using or moving your arm and elbow?

You will generally be asked to complete a series of movements to measure your active (performed by you) and passive (performed by your examiner) range of motion. These movements will test for range of motion, arm/elbow strength, joint stability, and location of tenderness. If you feel sharp pain with both of these motions you may have elbow bursitis and/or other related conditions.

A physical examination will be performed to determine if you have signs of elbow bursitis or a different elbow injury. He/she may visually assess and palpate (feel) the bones and soft tissue in both your elbows to evaluate symmetry to recognize differences. This will identify abnormalities, such as mild or severe inflammation, bone deformities, atrophied muscles, redness and/or warmth on the skin.

Sometimes, one set of symptoms can result in multiple diagnoses. An x-ray or MRI is often needed in order to diagnose if the elbow is out of alignment or the extent of the soft tissue damage. Your doctor will be able to determine if infection is the possible cause of your bursitis and furthermore find out if the bursitis is septic - a potentially very serious condition.

As the bursae in the elbow are close to the surface of the skin, they are more susceptible to septic bursitis (caused by a cut or scrape) than most other bursae. Your doctor may aspirate (use a needle) to remove fluid from the bursa to check for possible staphylococcus epidermis (or staphylococcus aureus) bacterial infection. Your doctor will be able to determine whether there is an infection or not by drawing a small sample of the bursa fluid with a needle. If it is determined that your bursitis is septic, you will be prescribed antibiotics to get rid of the infection.


Are You Sure It Is Elbow Bursitis?

Pain, swelling and inflammation in your elbow could mean that you have bursitis. It's also important to consider that there are other conditions that might cause pain and swelling in the elbow as well. Visiting your doctor when you have elbow pain is always recommended, as there are many possible issues that can happen within the arm and elbow. Sometimes, one set of symptoms can result in multiple diagnoses.

Some other similar injuries of the elbow include: infection, crystal deposits in the elbow, and elbow or forearm tendinitis.

Elbow pain cause tennis elbow
  • Infection (Septic Bursitis). The closer the bursa is to the surface of the skin, the more likely the chance of infection from specific bacteria that are commonly found on the surface of the skin. This bacterial infection is known as septic bursitis and it is caused by the Staphylococcus Epidermis (or Staphylococcus Aureus) bacteria. The subcutaneous Olecranon bursa is the most common bursa to get infected as it is very close to the skin surface. Septic Bursitis occurs most commonly in men (85% of all cases occur in men) and you are at higher risk of contracting this if you
    • have Diabetes
    • have recently experienced trauma
    • are undergoing steroid treatments
    • have a certain kidney condition
  • Crystal Deposits. Some people with diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout or scleroderma may contract bursitis from crystalline deposits in the joints. Although not much is known about how this process happens, it is common knowledge that Uric acid is a normal byproduct of daily metabolism. If your are diagnosed with gout then you are unable to break down this uric acid properly, leading to crystallization of this excess acid which deposits in joints, a painful symptom that can often lead to bursitis.
  • Elbow / Forearm Tendonitis. There are 2 common tendonitis injuries that usually result in elbow and forearm pain: Tennis Elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and Golfer's Elbow (medial epicondylitis). In both cases pain, swelling and inflammation will be felt around the bony part of the elbow. With tennis elbow, pain will be felt on the outside of the elbow, while pain is felt on the inside of the elbow with golfer's elbow. The tendons attached to the bone at your elbow are connected to muscles in your forearm, which is why these injuries will sometimes cause pain in your forearm. These injuries are usually caused by racket sports, golf and overuse from gardening and repetitive movements of your hand or wrist (ie. using a screwdriver).

Bursitis Can Also Lead to Other Conditions and Injuries

Every time we use our joint where there is painful bursitis, tendons and muscle tissue move; when they disturb an inflamed bursa, every movement hurts. With injured tissue, pain happens - sometimes a LOT of pain, so we try not to move it. So, when doing something we need to use our affected joint for (climbing stairs, getting up from the sofa, moving a car wheel, walking to the mailbox), we start to use the non-affected joints more. In the case of shoulder bursitis, we use our other shoulder instead even though it is inconvenient. In cases of hip bursitis, you may find you are using your knees and back more - and so forth. Our body will automatically try to use other muscles to reduce pain even though it is inconvenient and you may not be fully aware it is happening. This concept of using other muscles/joints to complete a task is known as overcompensation.

overcompensation-injury-prevention-and-rehabilitation

A couple days later (after purposefully avoiding movement of affected joint), the pain has gone down (as well as the swelling) and this is where the trouble begins! The pain disappeared with the swelling but we still aren't fully healed.. Not knowing this, we start using our joint again and then the injury swells up again like it did before - all because the injury wasn't fully healed in the first place.

Eventually, we use the other leg/shoulder/arm more and more, in an attempt to lessen the pain. The problem is now that many of the muscles and joints you are relying on due to overcompensation are now being overused. This means that aches and pain now become commonplace in areas that you weren't expecting - all as a result of the original bursitis injury and the body's instinctive nature to "protect" it.

Everything in the human body is connected. Any soft tissue injury can lead to other injuries over time if not treated properly. You might start using your opposite arm or leg to perform normal daily activities, like carrying grocery bags or moving things around your house. You may also try to use the opposite side of your body to get back to work sooner to avoid waiting for your injury to heal completely.

Subacromial Bursitis Pain Pattern

Many of our clients have experienced pain in other areas of their body because they shift the "work" to the opposite side of their body. For example, a serious muscle strain in the right forearm can often lead to over-straining of the left forearm (a roofer would switch from holding a nailgun in the dominant, injured arm to the other weaker arm and likely strain that forearm quite easily).

We continually re-injure ourselves through our daily activities and now we are dealing with long term chronic injuries due to atrophy and overcompensation.

Muscle imbalances result, placing tension on bone and softer tissues - leading to a misalignment within the body. The extra stress on the opposite side of the body will also result in weakness and fatigue of soft tissue - increasing the chances they can eventually be injured or gradually degenerate. This is a textbook example of how you get an overcompensation injury. In some cases, physical therapists (PTs) warn that overcompensation can be very dangerous as it will affect gait or alignment on a permanent basis.

Trochanteric Bursitis Pain Pattern

An injury to one bursa can easily lead to straining in other areas, making an overall recovery hard to initiate. For example, a serious case of bursitis in the right knee can often lead to over-straining of the left knee and even hip. Most commonly, the injury occurs on the dominant side, so the risk of straining the other (weaker) side increases. The longer the injury (and corresponding pain) persists, the greater the chance that you will sustain more strain from overcompensation, eventually leading to issues in those areas as well. To minimize potential secondary injuries, know that it is important to deal with your bursitis injury quickly and completely.

Ignoring overcompensation pain and the pain in your original injury while returning to regular activities or your job can lead to even more problems with healing - like a chronic tendonitis/tendinosis injury or the formation of massive amounts of scar tissue in the area. Bursitis can turn into a vicious cycle - which is why it is absolutely critical to focus on methods that improve and strengthen injured tissue in a timely manner. The faster you truly heal, the less chance you have of sinking into a downward spiral of re-injury, scar tissue growth and overcompensation injuries.

Okay, I Have Elbow Bursitis ...What Should I Do Now?

Now, on to recommendation number two in the journey to heal your elbow bursitis...

The Elbow TShellz® Circulatory Boost Wrap For A Healthy Elbow Over The Long Term

The best option we came across in our research to accomplish effective blood flow to soft tissue at home is the TShellz Wrap®. The intent of this device is twofold: 1)increase blood flow in the treatment area, and 2) increase flexibility, elasticity and length of connective tissue in the treatment area.

Have you seen what happens when you add water to a flower wilted from drought? In essence, your bursitis injury is much like a "wilted" flower; your body wants to heal its injury, but needs lots of nutrients to do it. Blood brings life to your tissue by delivering healing nutrients and oxygen that are vital for their growth and survival. Without a good supply of blood, your bursa simply won't heal properly.

tshellz blood flow soft tissue

Using a TShellz Wrap® will not expose you to the risk of causing further harm to soft tissue like you can when using rigorous exercise. The TShellz Wrap® accomplishes the goal of indirectly stimulating blood circulation without the need for intensive exercise and as such reduces your risk of re-injury.

The TShellz Wrap®: Intended to Enhance Blood Flow in the Treatment Area

The intent of a TShellz Wrap® treatment is to ease pain by dilating blood vessels, decrease stiffness by elongating soft tissue, improve blood circulation, and boost metabolism and enzyme activity. In stimulating localized blood flow to damaged soft tissue, you provide needed oxygen, water and nutrients to grow strong healthy collagen. In addition, you will experience a clearing of toxins and excess fluid build up from the injury site. Over the intermediate term, this helps to reduce incidents of swelling as trapped fluids will be whisked away - reducing pressure on blood vessels.

Using the TShellz Wrap® is truly a unique experience. Within moments of applying a treatment, you can feel the healing sensation due to the increase in blood flow within the area. During a treatment, and for quite some time after you finish, the treated area will feel relaxed and less painful. It's a very soothing sensation and extremely effective.

Who Should Use the Elbow TShellz Wrap®

We recommend the use of an Elbow TShellz Wrap®:

  • If you have bursitis, tendinitis or other soft tissue damage in your elbow, then the Elbow TShellz Wrap® will provide the all-important function of boosting blood circulation where it is needed most.
  • If you are dealing with soft tissue conditions affecting your range of motion.
  • If you have a chronic elbow soft tissue condition that has lasted for years- this device is intended to kick start the recovery process and help strengthen the surrounding and supporting tissues.
  • If you are still working with a strain in the elbow region or mild tear, the TShellz Wrap® will help relax tissue in the area prior to work and after a day at the job.
  • If you are still trying to enjoy your favorite activities such as gardening, tennis, golf, etc - use the TShellz Wrap® prior to activity to help reduce risk of re-injuring or re-aggravating those targeted tissues.
  • If you are suffering from bursitis and want to treat a major source of it (inflammation and damage to tissue surrounding the bursa sac). Through trauma, overuse or degenerative changes, muscle and tendons surrounding the bursa sacs will tighten and constrict. When they do, they place pressure on the bursa, causing it to become irritated. Applying a TShellz Wrap® to the area will help relax tissue in the treatment area, taking pressure off the bursa.
  • If you are experiencing atrophy in the elbow and want to reduce the chance of re-injury while stretching - this is a perfect treatment to use before activity, by enhancing blood flow and elongating tissue in the application area.
  • If you have been to a clinic for some form of massage or stretching and your PT or physician has recommended conservative treatments for home.
  • If you are experiencing tightness in your muscle(s) and want to reduce the chance of re-injury while stretching - we recommend the use of a TShellz Wrap® before you stretch.

Increased Blood Circulation = Increased Healing Capability

elbow tshellz wrap

TShellz Wraps® contain a unique Carbon Fiber Energy Pad which is flexible and will shape to conform to your body. This Energy Pad emits a uniform wave of perfectly safe energy over its entire surface. This energy is absorbed by soft tissue in the treatment area, opening blood vessels, resulting in an increase in blood flow. Increased blood circulation is what your body needs to accelerate the healing of soft tissue and this is why we recommend the TShellz Wrap®.

The Elbow TShellz Wrap® is an FDA Registered Medical Device and is suitable for use in therapeutic clinics and FROM HOME. It is completely safe for people and patients to use for themselves.

The technology found in a TShellz Wrap® has been used for decades in the worlds of professional and amateur sports - a contributing factor as to why athletes seem to recover from injuries so quickly.

Have you ever wondered by an athlete can return to activity after 4 or 5 weeks following an elbow or forearm injury - while your average person takes much longer to return back to normal? The secret isn't really that much of a secret - it involves consistent treatments (meaning multiple times a day) using a treatment like the TShellz Wrap® to stimulate blood flow to the injured tissues. Most athletes have the luxury of using in-house facilities many times per day.

How many us can afford the time and money to visit a clinic multiple times a day? Very few indeed. This is how you can gain some of the advantages that athletes enjoy in their injury recovery - by using a device like the Elbow TShellz Wrap® two or three times a day on a consistent basis.

Consistent Treatments = Consistent And Long Term Improvement

What Else Makes the Elbow TShellz Wrap® So Special?

elbow T•Shellz Wrap modeled

We believe the Elbow TShellz Wrap® to be one of the most effective home treatments to increase localized blood flow to soft tissue in and around the elbow.

We can promise that you will receive a product that is designed to be safe and does what it is supposed to do... reduce pain (as stated in "Therapeutic Heat and Cold", 4th edition. - Ed. Justus F. Lehmann, M.D., Williams, and Wilkin) temporarily increase length & flexibility of soft tissue (as stated in "Therapeutic Heat and Cold", 4th edition. - Ed. Justus F. Lehmann, M.D., Williams, and Wilkin) and aid your body in recovering from tendon, muscle and other soft tissue injuries via enhanced blood flow.

The unit plugs into a standard wall outlet to get its power. The nice thing about the power supply is that the same unit can be used in North America and overseas as well. It has the capability to operate between 110v and 230v.

The TShellz Wrap® has a special signal controller that can be set for 3 different power levels of application (3=High, 2=Medium, 1=Low). The cord is long enough that you can sit or lie comfortably and watch TV, read or surf the net while you're using it.

Treatments are max 30 minutes in duration and the device can be worn over clothing. This allows you to use the device at work, at home, or really anywhere you have access to an electrical outlet.

When to use a TShellz Wrap® for Bursitis:

  • After swelling and inflammation are reduced.
  • BEFORE getting out of bed in the morning. BEFORE going to bed at night.
  • BEFORE exercise, workouts or activity of any kind to warm up the foot and increase length & elasticity of muscles, ligaments & tendons at the affected joint. Increased elasticity and length of soft tissue is intended to help reduce risk of of re-injury and secondary injuries (such as achilles tendonitis occuring due to retrocalcaneal bursitis).
  • AFTER surgery (once the skin wound has healed over and your physician approves) to boost blood circulation, helping surgically repaired tissues rebuild for long-term health and minimize scar tissue growth at the surgery location.
  • Anytime BEFORE you feel you might undertake activity that will put significant strain on your foot.
  • Any other situation where you need to increase blood flow to soft tissue to relax the area, relieve pain / spasms, prevent re-injury and enhance flexibility of tissue in the treatment area.

We Guarantee That If You Use Our Products on Your Bursitis for 60 days as Directed, Your Bursitis Pain Will be Greatly Reduced or Eliminated and Your Joint Flexibility will Increase. If This Does Not Happen, We Will Refund Your Money.

We are an FDA Registered Company, and our TShellz Wrap, also know as a TShellz® Circulatory Boost Wrap Wrap, is an FDA Registered Medical Device suitable for use in hospitals and therapeutic clinics.

A Note On OverCompensation

Since you are reading this, you probably know that serious elbow injuries do not just disappear. Over time, it will wreak havoc on your shoulders and opposite elbow due to lack of movement, over-compensation and a change in the way you perform activities (ie. using salt and pepper shakers with your left hand instead of your right). Recovery takes a longer time for chronic (long term) injuries, but proper healing is essential to regain strength and get back to the activities you enjoy.

The longer your injury endures, the greater the risk of running into serious overcompensation injuries.

elbow injury overcompensation pain high risk regions

Everything in the human body is connected. Elbow injuries can lead to other injuries over time if not treated properly. For example, tennis elbow, forearm tendonitis, and various forms of tendon and muscle strains can rise due to an inactive elbow. The opposite elbow (and likely both shoulders) will start hurting due to increased strain on them while you are trying to avoid using your injured elbow. When you experience pain on the opposite side of your body or in joints that are under increased stress due to injury in another joint - this is something called "over compensation" pain.

On-going injury, chronic conditions and over compensation pain are all reasons why it is important that you remain proactive in your recovery. This is why it's also critical to completely heal your elbow before returning to activity. If you don't focus on healing your injury quickly and completely you run the risk of interrupting your lifestyle in a major way.

To Stop Re-Injury & Reduce the Risk of a More Serious Overcompensation Injury, You Need to Heal Quickly & Completely!

Anyone in need of rapid recovery and complete healing must consider a comprehensive treatment plan that includes an effective means to minimize swelling and inflammation yet also stimulate healing and fight atrophy in the elbow joint. We have found no better set of tools that can be used at home than this:

Conservative Treatment Tools Our Clients Have Used to Help Limit Damage & Boost The Body's Soft Tissue Repair Process at Home:

  • A Cold Compress or Ice Pack to reduce inflammation in the forearm and/or elbow area (as soon as possible).
  • An Elbow TShellz Wrap to increase blood-flow to the treatment area (a Localized Enhanced Circulatory Response® Treatment).
  • MendMeShop Arnica Pain Cream for temporary relief of pain due to sore muscles and joints.
  • An Exercise & Stretching Plan to prevent muscle atrophy and shortened tendons. A proper plan will increase elasticity and strengthen the muscles and tendons in the wrist, forearm, elbow, upper arm and shoulder.

Conservative treatment tools just like these have been used successfully by thousands of Elbow Injury sufferers - just like you.

The TShellz Wrap® - Help Your Body Maximize Its Ability to Recover From Your Soft Tissue Injury

We believe the use of TShellz Wraps® for boosting blood flow to soft tissue in the area of application is one of the most under-utilized home treatment options available on the market today. We have client after client that have tried many options out there and have been amazed at how effective and fast the TShellz Wrap treatment can relieve pain and increase blood flow in soft tissue.

Increased Blood Flow Stimulates the Bodys' Ability to Heal

With regular use of the Elbow TShellz Wrap:

  • Your pain will be reduced*.
  • Due to increased blood flow, soft tissue in the treatment area on the arm or leg will be expected to recover at an accelerated rate with reduced potential for re-injury*.
  • Tissue in the treated area should experience a larger range of motion and increased extensibility of collagen tissue* due to the heat effect on soft tissue. This should translate into a reduced rate of re-injury occurrence as soft tissue is known to lengthen and become more flexible when exposed to warm temperature. (*Chapter 9 of "Therapeutic Heat and Cold", 4th edition. Ed. Justus F. Lehmann, M.D., Williams, and Wilkin)

*Know that every personal soft tissue injury is unique and the TShellz Wrap may not work for everyone. This is why we offer a 60-day money back return on all our TShellz Wrap devices.

Scar Tissue & Fibrotic Adhesions

All connective tissue is living tissue; tissue requires a blood supply and is continually in a state of regeneration. Any and all connective tissue has the potential for injury and inflammation. Injuries can be small such as in the case of a strain, or injuries can be large tears or even avulsions (complete tearing). Once an injury is experienced, the area will experience both inflammation and the growth of scar tissue (otherwise known as adhesions).

The occurrence of scar tissue is a regular part of life. Scar tissue forms as part of the progression after injury occurs. Scar tissue essentially 'fills in the gaps' after a cut, tear or wound presents itself in the body. Scar tissue is composed of the protein, collagen; it is widely known in the medical community that scar tissue is weaker and less flexible than original tissue.

  • Normal/original connective tissue is made up of collagen, but this collagen is aligned in a specific direction with each strand in alignment. This results in the connective tissue having a strong tensile strength while also having excellent flexibility and extensibility.
  • Scar tissue is made up of a 'criss cross/ random' formation of collagen and attaches to everything in the area. You can likely imagine the result of a patch of scar tissue; the effect is similar to pouring extremely sticky glue in your hair. It interrupts everything and is disruptive to the function of the connective tissue. The caveat is that the scar tissue does its job - it binds tears together. You definitely want the tear to heal, but it is important to ensure the scar tissue goes away despite the fact that it does not go away easily.
  • After scar tissue forms, although the wound or cut is now closed (and less prone to infection), the area of tissue itself is inferior in functionality to what it replaced.

Continuous re-injury and build-up of scar tissue makes it more likely that you will wind up with chronic pain, reduced Range of Motion or even arthritis (permanent damage).

Heal Quickly to Minimize Scar Tissue Growth & Reduce Re-Injury Risk

tendon tear scar tissue

The human body will use scar tissue as a temporary solution and will try to build the scar tissue as fast as possible to heal tears in soft tissue (muscles, tendons). Scar tissue can form fast to bring together the edges of a tear, but working fast doesn't mean that the job's done right. When scar tissue forms it doesn't come together as neatly as regular (healthy) tendon/ligament tissue would. Scar tissue fibers will lay down over top of your tear in a cluttered, messy and jumbled up way.

This is how scar tissue works - it is messy and inelastic. The scar tissue that forms in your soft tissue will be unorganized and won't line up properly with the healthy tissue surrounding the tear. This scar tissue will attach to everything in and around the tear including the surrounding healthy tissue as well. This results in a long-term fusing together of everything the scar tissue touches, reducing your ability to move and making the injury even more painful!

For soft tissue injuries (tendons, muscles, ligaments, fascia), it is important to heal quickly and completely; this will help minimize the build up of scar tissue. If you don't, your tissue injury may be the start of a long term chronic injury resulting in a loss of Range of Motion and joint atrophy.

The longer a soft tissue injury remains, the more scar tissue is likely to build up in and around the injury location. This is why it is critical to treat your injury quickly without delay. Continuous re-injury and build-up of scar tissue while staying active or going back to work means you will experience a greater risk of winding up with on-going, chronic foot pain and overcompensation injuries to the hips, knee(s), and or back.

Surgery, Post-Surgery Rehabilitation and Elbow Exercises

If you are unsure about whether you need surgery for your elbow, consider reading through our "Do I Need Surgery" Page.

If you have undergone surgery on your elbow (reattachment, repair, graft, bursectomy, debridement, etc) and are looking for rehabilitation information, here is a link to our post surgery recovery page.

Increasing flexibility and strength in the elbow is a key component during recovery to maximize your healing and reduce odds of reinjury. For this reason, we have created ebooks that outline specific exercises / stretches for our clients undergoing elbow rehabilitation. Even when you're injured and in pain you need to keep moving to break-up scar tissue that's forming in tendons and ligaments within the elbow. Regular movement can increase healthy range of motion (ROM) of your joint, guaranteeing you a speedier recovery process and return to regular activities.

However, moving when you're injured is hard. Since moving while injured can be painful, most people think it's better to stop moving, rest their elbow and hope that their injury will heal all on its' own. Even though rest is important to recovery, too much rest during the recovery process will increase the amount of scar tissue in the joint. Circulatory Boost treatments combined with a proper stretching regimen will help decrease proliferation of scar tissue while increasing elasticity and strength in the elbow.

During the healing process your body will fill in soft tissue tears with dense, brittle tissue called "scar tissue" (also known as "fibrotic adhesions"). The human body will use scar tissue as a temporary solution and will try to build the scar tissue as fast as possible to heal tears in the soft tissue. Scar tissue can form fast to bring together the edges of a tear, but working fast doesn't mean that the job's done right. When scar tissue forms it doesn't come together as neatly as regular (healthy) tendon/ligament tissue would. Scar tissue fibers will lay down over top of your tear in a cluttered, messy and jumbled up way.

Atrophy is arguably a bigger issue than scar tissue although they are closely related... Whether you have a muscle strain or have recently had an operation in the area, you will find that the joint has a more limited range of motion than you had before. In most cases, this is due to atrophy - the shortening of connective tissue in the shooulder due to inactivity. In cases where atrophy exists, it becomes increasingly important to stretch and do gentle exercise to combat atrophy before it becomes a chronic (long-lasting) issue. If you are currently recovering from a elbow injury that you have kept immobile for a substantial time, speak with your physician about stretches and exercise.

When done properly under recommendation of a physician, stretches have a proven track record of assisting in the speedy recovery of many patients. This is without doubt, the final essential tool for complete recovery. Once a patient deals with the swelling and inflammation through use of a Cold Compress or Ice Pack, then begins the Circulatory Boost process by using home treatment with the TShellz Wrap, while resting to keep stress off the injury. Once the injury has healed, it is time to take the third and final step to recovery by beginning a rehabilitation stretching regimen.

When making the transition to crutches, PTs often prescribe gentle stretching of an injured elbow, especially if your are recovering from a particularly invasive surgery (ie reattachment, graft). They don't prescribe this to annoy you - it is in fact the most important part of injury recovery. By choosing to ignore recovery recommendations (ie. not stretching), there is a substantial risk of re-injury or even sustaining an injury greater than the original injury ever was. In some cases, the joint may never fully recover.

Consistent exercise & conservative treatment on a daily basis during your rehab while working with your doctor (or PT) is key.

Consistent stretching (as prescribed by your physician or PT) not only helps minimize the growth of scar tissue, but it also increases the elasticity and strength of the elbow joint and interconnected soft tissue. Stretching, when used in conjunction with the Elbow TShellz® Circulatory Boost Wrap will allow you to be better prepared to handle higher and higher loads. Eventually you will reach a stage where your elbow can handle loads for longer and longer periods of time. This is the final stage of recovery - depending on age, the nature of the injury, your weight and many other factors, it can take the longest time to complete. But remember, for joint injuries, it pays to be patient! Rushing your recovery almost never pays as it exposes you to increased risk of re-injury.

If you are having surgery sometime in the future, know that rehabilitation at-home while attending regular PT or doctor appointments is vital for your overall recovery. Consistent exercise and conservative treatment on a daily basis during your rehabilitation while working with your doctor or physical therapist is key. This is why you should seriously consider maximizing your recovery by using the TShellz Wrap® at home once you are approved for PT.

The more consistent you work at enhancing blood flow to surgically repaired soft tissue, the more consistent the healing process will be. Nourishing the tissues will more oxygen and nutrients (which are carried through the blood stream) will give the body a better ability to produce new, healthy collagen. In effect, you will help the body produce stronger tissues while potentially reducing the number of setbacks that can occur following surgical procedures.

The TShellz® Circulatory Boost Wrap and Atrophy

elbow protection to prevent olecranon bursitis

Shortened connective tissue [muscles, tendons and ligaments] due to lack of use is a real problem during recovery. Once you start to feel better and use the joint, connective tissue gets overstretched (because they have shortened and weakened); this introduces small micro tears in the connective tissue. These micro-tears start the formation of scar tissue, which unlike muscles, tendon, or ligaments is nearly inflexible. Once there is inflexible scar tissue in there, tears are more likely to continue; eventually you've got a serious problem with a joint that does not flex as much as it did before and this becomes a chronic condition. You'll know you have scar tissue when you get shooting pain if you stretch your joint too far... it is something that physical therapist's often deal with (ie. shoulder manipulation).

To prevent this, use the TShellz Wrap before undertaking any significant activity, as heat from this treatment will actually elongate & increase the flexibility of muscles, tendons and ligaments. This is why we advise bursitis sufferers to treat themselves with a TShellz Wrap first thing in the morning before getting active. After treatment, the joint will be more flexible, able to handle higher stresses starting to micro-tear. The ability for soft tissue to stretch further before micro-tearing will allow you to gently stretch your recovering joint without re-injuring it yet again. This is a huge boon for recovery. We also advise you speak with your physician about using the TShellz Wrap® for post surgery recovery, as surgery will always introduce scar tissue and TShellz Wrap treatments in post-op recovery is intended to increase soft tissue flexibility and as such help reduce scar tissue growth.

The Key Points To Keep in Mind When Treating Your Elbow Bursitis

1: Make Sure That COMPLETE Healing is Your #1 Goal

ELBOW TShellz Wrap

We all know that if your bursitis was healed, the pain would go away but what about the opposite situation? If the pain is gone, does that mean the injury is better? Unfortunately, this is not always true.

Too many people only focus on suppressing pain symptoms while providing less attention to the true healing aspects of the body. Experiencing less pain, while obviously a good short-term goal, does not equate to underlying healing. Scar tissue can remain for months or years after one gets to a point of being relatively pain-free. However, as long the weak and brittle scar tissue remains, you are susceptible to re-injury or re-aggravation. Certain motions or movements can cause the weaker tissue to easily tear - resulting in some reversal of the recovery up until that point.

This is why we recommend for people to continue with their doctor or PT recommended exercises and to continue with mild treatments of the TShellz Wrap® for a period of time - to better ensure complete recovery.

Ongoing treatments to enhance circulation are intended to soothe, relax and stimulate the body's ability to heal damaged tissue. T•Shellz treatments also result in the ability of soft tissue to extend further due to the effect of heat on soft tissue. As your muscles and tendons become longer, the pressure they exert on your bursa will decrease - thus reducing the aggravation and friction on your bursa. Further to this, longer and more flexible muscles are less likely to strain or sprain - further reducing your risk of new, secondary injury complications due to bursitis.

2: Resting Will Help, But Only Temporarily

People tell us all the time, "I was told that if rest for a few weeks, my pain will disappear for good."

The truth is, bursitis will often arise due to a culmination of numerous factors such as alignment issues, poor posture, acute injuries and overcompensation issues resulting from other muscle and soft tissue ailments.

It may take weeks or months for these pain triggers to surface. When they , however, merely resting will solve the underlying issues. You need to utilize actions and options that actually treat the source of the pain and help reverse the damage that has been done.

Resting has a role to play, but it is only one small factor in a recovery plan.

3: Determine if There is A Deeper Underlying Cause To Your Problem & Fix It. Otherwise, It May Come Back

In order to get lasting relief, you need to identify all the factors that are contributing to your bursa problem. An example of some factors that may or may not be relevant are:

  • muscle imbalances
  • pinched nerve(s) in the neck, shoulder, wrist or upper back
  • Age - some heavy labor jobs become troublesome as we get older
  • arthritic conditions such as gout or rheumatoid arthritis
  • trauma
... and many more. The list is certainly significant and it can be frustrating for people who may have no idea where to begin. This is one of many reasons why you should always get to a physician and, even a specialist to identify the source of your problem.

4: Know that Pain isn't the Only Proof You're Still Injured

Would you know you injured yourself if there was no pain? Probably not! Pain and swelling perform a useful role in letting you know that you did, in fact, injure yourself. Pain and swelling are what get you to seek out medical attention in the hopes of finding a way to reduce the pain and heal your injury.

Bursitis will likely cause extreme pain; due to this debilitating effect it can lead to further problems down the line if not dealt with quickly. Be careful with pain-killers that mask the pain as overuse can give you a false sense that your injury is gone. Strive to reduce the inflammation and maintain or improve flexibility in the joint while avoiding re-injury to see a reduction in pain.

On-going TShellz Wrap® treatments at home, every day, are intended soothe, relax and promote blood flow to soft tissue. Consistent Elbow TShellz® Circulatory Boost Wrap treatments before activity or work will help warm up the area, increasing soft tissue elasticity & flexibility; this in turn will also reduce the risk of re-injury.

Are you still unsure about placing an order? let me address some questions that may causing some hesitation...

What is the success rate of the TShellz Wraps®? Do they really work?

We try and keep in touch with a large percentage of our customers, and we encourage them to do the same. In doing so, we have received a lot of feedback as we have been in the business since 2008.

We can say that the return rate on our products is only around 5 to 10% any given month. That is exceptional by anyone's standards. Therefore, we can safely indicate that the overwhelming majority of people who purchase from us do achieve benefits with our products.

How much time do I need to dedicate for treatments? Are the products easy to use?

The TShellz Wraps® are very easy devices to use. After one or two uses, you will engage in the treatments with ease. Very detailed instructions are included and you are always welcome to contact us by phone or email if the need for help arises.

In regards to the TShellz Wrap®, it is ideal to use the device two or three times a day on average. Each treatment session is a maximum of 20 minutes in duration and the device will turn off automatically at that time. Typically, people use the TShellz Wrap® before bed, upon awakening (or not long after) and one other time during the day when the opportunity presents itself. For people in an office setting, many will use the device at work (as it can be worn over clothing). For others, they will use the device an our or two after work.

A Cold Compress or Ice Pack is primarily used following activity that stresses the injured tissues (following work, after a sports activity, or just suffering a general re-injury). This is done to reduce inflammation and to minimize tissue damage. Treatments are 15 to 20 minutes in duration.

How long has MendMeShop been in business

We established our firm in December of 2005. Our track record in this field continues to grow and we plan on being around for many decades to come.

Continue with your recovery by resting your bursitis afflicted joint. Limit the activities that may aggravate your condition. Without proper rest and limitation on activities, being active as if your joint is healthy can lead to re-injury. To get back to doing the things you love, you need to give your body proper care and attention.

The trick to healing your injury and getting your joint back in the best possible condition you can is getting it to heal with minimal scar tissue. Even with optimum healing, there is always less elasticity in previously injured tendons, muscles and ligaments. However, if you heal your tissue properly and minimize scar tissue build up, your chance of getting a re-injury or incurring a long term case of bursitis is much lower than average.

The TShellz Wraps® are intended to help minimize scar tissue growth. The combination of heat and increased blood flow can have a very positive effect on soft tissue, as soft tissue is known to elongate and increase in flexibility due to heat*. Increased blood flow means that tissue can repair more easily due to the increased flow of oxygen and nutrients through your bloodstream.

* Chapter 9 of "Therapeutic Heat and Cold", 4th edition. Ed. Justus F. Lehmann, M.D., Williams, and Wilkin.

Although steroid injections may provide temporary relief from the pain of tendinitis, bursitis, or other soft tissue injuries, they should be considered carefully as they can weaken soft tissue and possibly increase risk of rupture. If you do opt for an injection, doctors usually recommend that you do not participate in strenuous activities for several weeks to reduce the risk of a rupture.

Product specialists are available 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Eastern Standard Time Monday to Friday.
