Yes, especially Sports Chiropractors, are trained in all conditions of the joints.
Some will some won't. Ask if and how they help. Sometimes all it needs is an ice pack or ultrasound treatment. Often bursitis is a result of a poor movement pattern involving the scapula (shoulder blade) and the arm. Massage and stretching really help as well as chiropractic adjusting to the middle back. Avoid overhead lifting until it clears up.
Yes. Bursitis is inflammation of a pad that separates structures in the joint. A Chiropractor will find the cause of the inflammation and correct it.
