GROIN PAIN, HIP PAIN AND PROLOTHERAPY
Ross Hauser, M.D.

Chronic groin pain can be easily treated with Prolotherapy because there are multiple ligament laxities that cause groin pain. This diagnosis is accomplished by the physician having a listening ear and a strong thumb (TO PALPITATE THE PAINFUL AREA.). An interesting case will illustrate this point.

A young woman came to see us. She had been suffering for more than 10 years with terrible groin pain. She had stepped into an animal trap, which wrapped around her leg. This caused the trap to engage and, before she knew it, she found herself hanging upside down from a tree limb with the rope lassoed around her ankle. Alone in the forest, she hung there for what seemed like eternity until she was finally rescued. As a result of this incident, she was left with chronic groin and back pain. As a health food store owner, she turned to numerous healing techniques. She also sought relief from many doctors who diagnosed her as having, among other things, a groin sprain, a disc problem, and a tendon strain. Nothing permanently relieved her pain.

Her medical history clearly indicated one thing that could have caused the problem. (Ross) compressed the pubic symphysis (the pubic joint ligament) with his thumb on the side of the leg that had been caught in the rope. "Wow! That caused a whole-body jump sign.” He treated that area with Prolotherapy. For the first time in a decade, she walked without pain.

Only once has a patient said that a physician had examined the pubic symphysis. The pubic symphysis is the front joint of the pelvic bone. The back joint of the pelvic bone is the sacroiliac joint. If the sacroiliac joint is lax, there is a good chance that the pubic symphysis will also be lax. Regarding the treatment of chronic pain with Prolotherapy, it is advisable to treat both sides of a joint to ensure its strength. Someone suffering from low back pain should not only have the sacroiliac joints examined, but the pubic symphysis as well. Likewise, patients with groin pain should have the sacroiliac joints palpated. Sacroiliac ligament laxity can also refer pain to the groin.

The pubic symphysis is actually a disc. It is a fibrocartilaginous disc that, like any other disc in the body, can be disrupted. It is supported on top by the superior pubic ligaments. Typically, people with groin pain are assumed to have a groin strain. This refers to a strain of the adductor muscles that attach to the pubic bone. Chronic pain that does not respond to exercise, massage, or manipulation is most likely a ligament problem. In the case of pain reproduced by palpating the pubic symphysis, the cause of the pain is pubic symphysis diathesis. This means a loose pubic symphysis area. Unfortunately, mild laxity in the joints can only be diagnosed by palpation. There is no x-ray study that can be done to confirm it. This is also why many physicians do not diagnose it. The diagnosis of ligament laxity can generally only be made by a listening ear and a strong thumb.

The pubic symphysis joint is stressed when the leg is pulled out from underneath, as in the case of the lassoed lady. This can also be caused by falling, tripping, or slipping. In sports, pubic symphysis injuries are relatively frequent. Swimmers who do the breast stroke often suffer groin pain from a pubic symphysis injury. Prolotherapy for pubic symphysis diathesis entails injections into the fibro-osseous junction of the superior pubic symphysis ligament and Prolotherapy injections in the pubic symphysis itself. Prolotherapy is extremely effective in strengthening the pubic symphysis and relieving chronic groin pain in this area.

There is no known cure for arthritis. Prolotherapy and nutritional supplements can help alleviate, reverse, or end arthritic pain by treating an underlying cause that contributes to degenerative disease, ligament laxity. Strengthening ligaments and other connective tissue can help prevent bone on bone arthritis from developing.
