Prolotherapy
and Arthritis |
Hannah’s search for arthritis pain
relief after military deployment, leads her to Prolotherapy and the
Hauser Diet
Hannah came to
Caring Medical with multiple areas of pain. At the young age of 30
she was experiencing
low back pain, a stiff
neck, and numbness in her arms, fingers and toes. Her
low back pain was
initially very mild and her doctor told her she had mild arthritis. She
did some
physical therapy and
saw minor improvements. Four months after the mild pain began, she was
deployed for military service overseas. |

Arthritis
Pain
There is an epidemic of
people suffering from
chronic pain. We believe part of the reason is incorrect
diagnosis. Very seldom do we find that arthritis itself, is the cause of the
pain in sufferers. It is estimated that 15% of the U.S. population has
arthritis, with prevalence being about 50% over the age of 65 and only 5% under
the age of 44. |
Degenerative
Joint Disease
Getting old has nothing to do
with
chronic pain. Chronic pain has it causes, yes, but they do not include
advancing age! Pain is a signal that something is wrong, something has become
injured or weakened. For most, this is a signal that the
ligaments that
stabilize joints have become lax or weak. This pain is signalling then the
onset of most degenerative joint disease. |
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Gerd
came to
Caring
Medical with severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. He was
taking up to 1600mg of Ibuprofen per day and Azulfidine. He was put on
Azulfidine after visiting the Mayo Clinic to try and get his Rheumatoid
Arthritis under control, but it didn’t work. |

ARTHROFIBROSIS
Recently a patient came in because they called another
Prolotherapy
office
and the doctor didn’t want to treat their arthrofibrosis. Arthrofibrosis
is a term that can be broken down to ‘arthro’ meaning joint and
‘fibrosis’ meaning scarring; thus, arthrofibrosis means a joint is
full of scar tissue. In such a situation the person has a tremendous
decrease in range of motion of the joint(s) involved. In this
patient it involved the fingers. |

Prolotherapy and
Arthritis
"I will be blunt and to the point! I HURT! It doesn’t
matter if its winter, summer, night or day - I HURT! I have tried various pills
without any help. I am only 42 years old and the doctors say that I have
arthritis. Please help me! I’m even having trouble getting through the day
working." |
Osteoarthritis
and Prolotherapy
Osteoarthritis (or degenerative joint disease
(DJD)) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting nearly the entire elderly population. Osteoarthritis is described as a generally progressive loss of articular
cartilage accompanied by sclerosis of subchondral bone and, in many instances, the formation of subchondral bone cysts and
osteophytes. The osteophytes are the overgrowth of bone that make joints look big and are the abnormalities that physicians see on x-ray showing arthritis in the joints. |
