What is bursitis?

A bursa is a potential space located between two anatomical structures, such as bone and tendon. Bursa act like a small cushion designed to reduce compression and help provide friction-free motion between adjacent structures.

The heel has two bursae (see images below); one located superficial to the Achilles, known as the subcutaneous bursa and one located deep to the bursa, the retro-calcaneal bursa. The subcutaneous bursa is located between the skin and the Achilles tendon. The retro-calcaneal bursa is located between the Achilles tendon and the calcaneum (heel bone).

Either bursa can become inflamed due to excessive friction and compression. This is known as a bursitis and is often due to overuse or unaccustomed activity. For example, while training for a marathon, increasing your walking distance too quickly or wearing new shoes. The bursa is a very pain-sensitive structure, and when it becomes inflamed can be very debilitating.

Excellent service, thank you. I had been in severe pain for over 6 months for a frozen shoulder when my physiotherapist recommended Luke Millward for a guided steriod injection. I was extremely thankful for the speed at which I got an appointment. The clinic in Cambridge was easy to get to (with trouble-free parking) and the service I received from Luke was excellent. He was very personable, explained things to me carefully and carried out the injection with professionalism and empathy. The results have been significant and I wished had visited Luke sooner before the pain had become so debilitating.

Ostenil Plus Injection - Big Toe Joint x 2 I've been seeing Chris Myers and his colleague Alastair Nowell for the past 5 years or so, a period where I have ran 17 marathons (overuse niggles, hamstring tear, multiple calf tears etc) and just last week, to receive an injection (Ostenil Plus) into each big toe joint that had become miserably painful. Under Chris's guidance and expertise, the process was incredibly smooth and completed in a safe, efficient manner. Today is only the 5th day since the injections, yet already I can sense significant improvement. I have no hesitation in recommending these guys to everyone, as they genuinely deliver a brilliant service that will 'literally' get you back on your feet. Thanks everyone.
