PROLOTHERAPY CAN PUT CURVE
BACK INTO NECKS
A patient came in with severe muscle spasms in the neck. Her neck x-rays, which
were taken by a
chiropractor showed a straightening of the normal lordotic curve
of the neck. She had received 120 manipulations to her neck and countless
sessions of
physical therapy. She probably spent $10,000 of her own money on
previous care for her neck pain.
The patient's history was interesting in that she appeared to have muscle
tension
headaches initially. By the time she came to Caring Medical she was
assessed as having
Overmanipulation Syndrome. This conditions is actually caused
by too much
chiropractic manipulation. She now had severe
ligament laxity in her
neck with compensatory muscle spasm, resulting in the 'straight' neck.
The patient received six
Prolotherapy sessions over the course of six months.
She had a completely recovery of her neck pain. After the Prolotherapy, neck
x-rays were taken which showed her lordotic curve had returned. The reason for
this is a cessation of the
cervical muscle spasms because of the repair in the
ligaments that took place with Prolotherapy. Prolotherapy by tightening and
repairing the ligaments, the muscles could now relax because the vertebral
joints were stable.
