Medical therapy for non-septic bursitis depends on the involved bursa and includes the RICE regimen (rest, ice, compression, elevation), NSAIDs, and/or corticosteroid injections. Restriction of activity is encouraged to prevent further injury and promote healing.  Antimicrobials are the mainstay of therapy for septic bursitis. Surgical management is often reserved for non-responders.
