A bursa is a fluid filled sac that helps to reduce friction in joint
spaces. You have several shoulder bursae. Your subacromial bursa is the most commonly inflamed of the
shoulder bursae.
Subacromial bursitis is a common cause of shoulder pain that is
usually related to rotator cuff tendonitis, impingement or dysfunction.
Subdeltoid bursitis is less commonly inflamed shoulder bursa.
What Causes Shoulder Bursitis?
Shoulder bursitis can be caused by a repeated minor trauma, such as overuse of the shoulder joint and muscles or a single more significant trauma such as a fall.In overuse type injuries, bursitis is often associated with impingement and tendinitis/inflammation of the rotator cuff tendons.
