“Can chiropractic care help bursitis in the shoulder?”
I am a 29 year old female and I have bursitis in my shoulder. Can chiropractic care help bursitis in the shoulder?

yes
Most likely.
Yes. The physician must find the cause of the inflammation to the bursae. Often, there is a problem with impingement under the acromion of the scapulae. Stretching, mobilization, and manipulation of the shoulder and upper back should resolve your problem.

Most chiropractors have experience dealing with shoulder bursitis. There are corrective exercises and particular treatments that are effective. I would recommend that you call or investigate a particular chiropractic doctor to see if that is within their repertoire of care.
Chiropractor doctor does extremities and rehab can help with bursitis. We treat with ultrasound, laser, exercise, and chiropractic manipulation.
Doctors of Chiropractic (DC) are licensed doctors who does diagnosis and either preforms and/or recommends treatment. That includes all areas of the neuromuscular system. The question is what is causing the problem with the area and that requires diagnosis. Diagnosis can't be done without an examination. If the cause is appropriate and responsive to conservative care then Chiropractic care with it's many therapeutic treatments is important and appropriate. Even if the problem has a permanent and/or structural component the treatments may still help, but may not totally eliminate the underlying cause. Don't wait to have the examination, as the sooner the problems is detected and treated the better.
Yes, I recommend seeking out a Sports Chiropractor for this issue as they have extra training in many conditions including bursitis.
