6Medication and Therapy
Knee bursitis tends to improve over time. Therefore, treatment is often aimed at relieving symptoms. Depending on the affected areas and underlying causes, the doctor would suggest different approaches. When your condition is caused by an infection, some antibiotics can be prescribed. They will help eliminate the bacteria and prevent them from spreading. Some physical therapists can also help you strengthen muscles and improve flexibility. This would help reduce the risk of recurrence and relieve pain. In case you cannot avoid kneeling, a protective knee brace or compressive knee sleeve can help. [6]
