3. Age
Getting older is something that we cannot do anything about. After all, aging is just simply a part of life. Unfortunately, as we age our bodies begin to deteriorate. This can cause many types of health issues including the development of shoulder bursitis. A person of any age can be affected by shoulder bursitis, especially those who work in an industry that requires overwork of the shoulder muscles.
However, as a person gets older their risk of developing shoulder bursitis becomes much higher. This is simply because the joints and muscles in the body begin to wear down over time. The cushion that helps the joints move can become thinner with time and this can cause pain in the joints. Taking proper care of the joints when you are younger can help to reduce the risk of developing bursitis as you age. Anti-inflammatory medications can help reduce some of the pain caused by shoulder bursitis.
